The first gen A1 is all over the place here. Good looking little car.
I've seen two of the A1 Quattro's. This will be better as it has 2 more doors, non-limited production and a much lower price. :nana:

I wish the North American spec navi worked in Europe. It's a real bummer to get almost no discount from Audi (BMW, MB and Volvo offer sizable discounts) and have a navi that won't function. :notcool:

I like the S1. But $40k? There is just no way I'm paying that kind of cash for one.

Ya, climb a little and you can buy an S4... Looks like a blast, but needs to be mid 30's full equipped for me to buy.

0-60 in 5.7 doesn't really sound very fast for such a small car with so much power. Usually a hot hatch is traction limited because FWD, but this doesn't have that excuse. Unless you really absolutely have to have a tiny hot hatch with AWD there are just too many things that are way better value for money. The VW GTI for a kick off, which offers similar build quality and more room for much less.

Sit in a GTI (FWD by the way) and sit in an S1 and tell me they're the same build quality. The GTI is nice but the Audi has a much better interior. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. But this is why America doesn't get the cool small cars: we shop by the pound.

I just like the look of it. Its just the right mix of style and aggressiveness that so many small cars miss.

"The sole North American round will be held in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, in early August, on the same circuit that once hosted Indy Lights, ALMS, Grand-Am, Can-Am and Trans-Am races. "
Hmm would be a lovely weekend of cooler temps up there.
Would be a pretty epic trip if I could get my uncle to come down and pick us up in the amphibious plane and drop off on the river. Taxi in and camp for a few days, then get picked up at the end...

I'd buy a three door version. I don't get the disappearance of proper hatches from the market....everybody is going five door.

I wanted a 5 door Golf R. It isn't any larger or heavier than the 3 door, but the back seat is a lot more useful. Too bad that Military Sales gets almost no allocations of the R.

If your backseats are actually large enough for people, 5 doors are just more practical.

The more I see the A3/S3 the more I like it. Haven't driven one yet.

I'll put in the request and see what the possibilities are. Never can tell with family dynamics though...

don't do it on my account - life probably won't accommodate it.
