Head rests are not for resting your head. They are to prevent injury in the case of a collision. They actually are not supposed to touch your head. They are to prevent your head from snapping back beyond 45 degrees. They must be set to where the middle of your head lines up with the middle of the pad other wise if it’s to low your head will go overtop. SAAB used to have active head rests the moved forward in the case of a rear collision. If you are still doubting me just wiki it, head rest were mandated in cars in the US in the 60s as safety devices.
I don't know where it costs 50k € but here in Germany you can buy the base Model for under 20k€ and with everything you desire but with the stock motor you would have to pay 30k€ I don't think these 100 hp more would cost you 20k€
Very nice rewiew. Thumbs up to Audi for putting in a 2.0 TFSI engine and giving it 200hp. I used to dream about S1, now I think this car is even better.
I have a 2.0 engine that I bought in 2019 in turbo blue with black roof. Car cost around £30 thousand on the road. I have enjoyed the car very much but the only problem with it I find the car very jurky on the gearbox at slower speeds. Because of this problem I have decided to sell it.
Loved those colour co-ordinated interiors, especially in yellow. Can’t the seat head rests be adjusted. Nice video but very difficult to watch as you are constantly swooshing the camera around really quickly and it makes it nauseous to watch especially on large screens.
Fun fact for those of you nay-sayers saying they're identical to the Seat/VW/Skoda. They're not. I attempted to test drive all 4 back to back today. The geometry on the respective interiors are substantially different enough that as a driver in the segment that Misha basically regarded as you'll be lucky to fit, IE over 2 metres tall - for which i'm considerably past (7'3" tall and 42" inside leg otherwise as 221cm and 107cm respectively), the Audi was the only one I could comfortably fit in. I once again flat out couldn't fit in the Skoda (budget bulky dash as per usual), was extremely uncomfortable to sit in the Seat and the VW for even a few minutes. Each car was trimmed at highest level, because that seems to be the done thing in the UK at the moment. Left Audi to last, as I was balking at the price difference, but for the amount of space available I'm personally deeming it worth it.
14:00 gas station is in American english hence doesnt recognises 19:20 usb ports are there so you can connect your phone in order to use apple carplay and Adnroid auto
Nice review misha. I was very impressed with this car when I saw it in Paris. My ibiza (same platform) is due for change Sept 19.. given your experience of the Polo Gti vs the A1.. which would be the better option? Still hopeful a Cupra Ibiza breaks cover !
Funny that it only recognizes British English terms in the voice command, but the word "Stabilisation" is spelled the American way when you turn ESP off
My sister has the current A1. Not a real fan. Too small. But really like the new Blue with the white wheels. Price with options could exceed a base Golf GTI in Australia. Hard scratchy plastics. I can see why you want it Mischa.
Nice review Misha , only the 1.0 engine is available in the UK on launch which is a shame. Also they never like to show the Base spec SE which doesn't look very good!
Nice car, nice review. I love the way the car looks... Has something racey to it.. How is the car for tall people like me? Smaller cars are sometimes a pain in the butt for me with my length.... Keep up the good work Misha! I give it 5/5 pancakes.
A bit late to the party, but I've just been to test drive one today and found it to be amazingly spacious. I'm 7'3 (221cm) with a 42" (107cm) inside leg, and I had enough space to get in and out without folding my legs like paper origami to do so (problem I have in my current car - a Suzuki Swift).
Dude you made the perfect review of a car believe me! Instead of just keep saying numbers and not so important things (in everyday life) you just review how the car will perform if you are gonna use it everyday! Great job hopefully if I'm gonna review that car in Italian I will be able to do the same
As always nice honest review but was the designer of the car smoking crack while adding all the color into the inside of the car? I mean are we in Kindergarten or what
I had that Qi Charger in a rental car a couple of weeks ago, it is the biggest rubbish i have ever seen. The charging went good for about 2 minutes, then it asks me to get rid of everything else besides the phone, because it cannot charge the phone and stops charging the phone. Then it starts to charge the phone and stops after what felt like 10 seconds. and that cycle goes on and on and on. The worst thing is that every time it does that, it stops the music from the bluetooth connect. Useless system. Charging with a cable works way better.
I agree i would have liked a horizontal chrome grill like the A4, I reckon the S1 will have something better... I like this car and thinking about getting it but a nearly new 1/2 year old A3/4 costs the same per month.
I hope someday, someone can made a car that can swap between analog gauge (like 992's tachometer) & digital gauge... because I'm a weird guy who still love analog gauge.
but on the other hand... if you buy the car with the big engine and a few extras you end up with a price between 35 and 40K... if its really worth the money? I dunno.
Great honest review! Not a fan of Audi (except the old 80s Quattro), but this little thing looks interesting. And yeah, that yellow trim is ugly. I actually prefer not to have even those blue lights around it.
Hey Misha and all @ Apex. The 'Ring makes sense as a hub for online motoring. Imagine if Apex hosted a festival/meetup/collaboration of UA-cam car channels. You guys at apex would be the best people to organize, promote and host the other channels and their cars. Imagine you, MighryCarMods, Cleetus, Motor Trend, Cat Throttle, Engineering Explained, all together in a Nurburg Festival of Tubers. I'm not suggesting a hot-lap fest, you could set all sorts of stupid challenges, like blindfold auto testing, with team-mates shouting directions. Diana would make a great 'Race Director'.
Love your revue.. hope Seat invites you to Try the Ateca cupra.. and love when you Say 💡it Sounds like ⚡️.. B&O is another Danish amazing thing.😉😂😂. PS. Mis a bad joke.. 🤔🥺😂
Damn! She sexy! I own a MkV GTI so I love hatchbacks. I love everything on this Audi A1. Did you see the grey side-skirts?? It looks like little mini wings. They looked like they’re these thin sticking out a few inches, edit: oh, also those dope interior mood lighting is slick af too
Interior body-colour parts are a massive no-no for me too. The head-rests are head-restraints and as usual are all incorrectly adjusted. Give me those white wheels, please.

The doc is in the money here.
Yes, aka head restraints.
Best A1 review so far. Thinking of buying a used A1 40TFSI
Fact that its possible to make this car 50k euros is mad for an A1.
It's totaly mental... Entry lvl car and costs more than my fully specced car...
True, same for the new Q3, mad
I don't know where it costs 50k € but here in Germany you can buy the base Model for under 20k€ and with everything you desire but with the stock motor you would have to pay 30k€ I don't think these 100 hp more would cost you 20k€
i always laugh when i hear what target group this car is for...
The trim lighting looks amazing
No matter blue or yellow, it need that white wheels that is on the blue one!
It's how the audio from different videos just lines up so sweetly!
A review without a test drive? Oh dear!
Very nice rewiew. Thumbs up to Audi for putting in a 2.0 TFSI engine and giving it 200hp. I used to dream about S1, now I think this car is even better.
My first time on this channel. I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed your review.
Thank you!
Put the headrest from the back seat on the front seat. Problem solved
I have a 2.0 engine that I bought in 2019 in turbo blue with black roof. Car cost around £30 thousand on the road. I have enjoyed the car very much but the only problem with it I find the car very jurky on the gearbox at slower speeds. Because of this problem I have decided to sell it.

How about how it drives
Fun fact for those of you nay-sayers saying they're identical to the Seat/VW/Skoda. They're not. I attempted to test drive all 4 back to back today.

Misha, you should check out the DJI Osmo pocket if you haven't already. It feels like it would be absolutely perfect for you!
14:00 gas station is in American english hence doesnt recognises

Nice review misha. I was very impressed with this car when I saw it in Paris. My ibiza (same platform) is due for change Sept 19.. given your experience of the Polo Gti vs the A1.. which would be the better option? Still hopeful a Cupra Ibiza breaks cover !
Back end still looks like "Angrybirds" (a bit more when you squint). Thanks for the great review, nice car!
Wish Audi called me to this A1 launch.
I will get this car in a couple of months..Great review Misha. One question tough.. Grey w/ copper wheels or Turbo blue and white wheels?
Great review Misha. Everything i needed to know about the A1. ✌
Is this car equipped with a limited-slip differential?
Funny that it only recognizes British English terms in the voice command, but the word "Stabilisation" is spelled the American way when you turn ESP off
Cool honest review Misha, I enjoyed that !
Amazing Review as always Misha! :D
My sister has the current A1. Not a real fan. Too small. But really like the new Blue with the white wheels. Price with options could exceed a base Golf GTI in Australia. Hard scratchy plastics. I can see why you want it Mischa.
A1 or Polo Gti?? A1 is just a posh version of polo but which one is better to drive?
Is this the same platform as in the VW Polo ? If yes, then you should compare it to the Polo GTi
Such a shame we don’t get this beauty in the US
I saw Doug talking about this on his channel, only Audi SUV's in the US? No more hot hatches and sedans?
Just buy a Golf....
Jon Gee yup
Which Mini Cooper do you drive personally?
The interior of that yellow green thing, oh my
Nice review Misha , only the 1.0 engine is available in the UK on launch which is a shame.
Also they never like to show the Base spec SE which doesn't look very good!
Thanks for the review!!
More driving, less bla please
That yellow interior brings back early 2000s :D
holy moly, 6:22 and the paintjob looks quite micro-scratched? Hope Audi wasn´t cost saving with the color quality...
Castle vlog????
Hi! Misha, as always - you are красавчик, but (if you have such a close partnership with Audi) why Apex doesn't have any RS-Audi in it's garage?
Andrei Marhalik Audistear might be the keyword here
Nice review, Misha! I was just wondering one thing: why did they put such a powerful engine in it if the plan on having a S1 variant?
prev gen S1 was like 320 hp if i remember.
Which Mini Cooper do you have as your daily?
Did you test a version with the sports suspension and the bigger brake disks?
The A3 I been told the mmi is not touchscreen- is it just the A1 that has a touchscreen ?
I’m really surprised the headrest isn’t a rocker that adjusts front to back, like most newer cars have. I would guess they are really cheap to add.
You never mentioned if its front wheel drive or all wheel drive. Car seems cool though.
blue car + white wheels is awesome!
I want this car!!! It looks great!
Nice car, nice review. I love the way the car looks... Has something racey to it.. How is the car for tall people like me? Smaller cars are sometimes a pain in the butt for me with my length.... Keep up the good work Misha! I give it 5/5 pancakes.

Blue one looks great!
For more complete review, you should have used that tire sealant.
front bonnet vents are akin to the old Sport quattro (SWB) rally car from the group b days
you had me with the dont ask me why :D
Asking for my parents. Are the headlights enough for real dark?
from my exp any new leds in audis are really strong.
Strong as in good enough?
dope rev. but i would love to see some pov driveing on limit
That with the headrest. I also hate about golf 7. Because we have the same problem.
hi can i ask where in the south of spain you were?
Ascari
This car looks crazy good
You have to take this on the Nurburgring Misha! ❤❤
I agree i would have liked a horizontal chrome grill like the A4, I reckon the S1 will have something better...
I like this car and thinking about getting it but a nearly new 1/2 year old A3/4 costs the same per month.
SKRMZ the word on the street is there won’t be a new S1.
It's good but the reason it sold well before was the affordable pricing.
Is the A1 a Quattro?
The Dudeface Nope
We don't get this in Canada :(
i really liked the apple actually, not a fan of really small cars but a high spec a1 really looks good :)
Looks like a Kia... will have to get used to it, maybe. Take care, great videos! Love Audi.
i looked at the configurator and base price for a car with auto transmission is 21k €. Base model with steel wheels. Crazy.
I love the yellow accents inside!
Now if only I could get one in the USA...
0:06 I wasn’t ready
Would have been nice to see the CD player working and to see it in the glovebox
LoL there is no CD player 😂
Nice polo
Good video
Good comment
Mashetekiller good answer
Good 2 answer's
Audi isn't going to make a S1 version
Is this new Lada Kalina?! :D if one on streets will drive with blacked out badges, will probably will be my first idea.
not a fan of the yellow interior stuff................but no quattro on the A1?
paul sabin not on this one only the s1
@@123subbatyp AAAHHHH \makes sense
damn the r8 looks amazing
I hope someday, someone can made a car that can swap between analog gauge (like 992's tachometer) & digital gauge... because I'm a weird guy who still love analog gauge.
Seeing the MMI in this one no wonder they say communication between men and women can be complicated at times :P
Cool video ❤️
but on the other hand... if you buy the car with the big engine and a few extras you end up with a price between 35 and 40K... if its really worth the money? I dunno.
My favorite car 🚗
wtf camera specs
50k for a shoebox...
For 50k you can get fully specced Seat Leon Cupra.
those 2 cars are very close cousins, can't see how you make them seem so different in your arguments
I do not understand why men buy Audi A1's. You can just spend the exact same amount on an A3 that is 2 to 4 years older.
Great honest review! Not a fan of Audi (except the old 80s Quattro), but this little thing looks interesting.
And yeah, that yellow trim is ugly. I actually prefer not to have even those blue lights around it.

With those were available in USA 🇺🇸
Cool volg and car👍🚗
4:03 i can almost get my entire hand in my a3 grill
Did you not lift the bonnet? You actually have to, it’s not assisted anymore!!!!
Love your revue.. hope Seat invites you to Try the Ateca cupra.. and love when you Say 💡it Sounds like ⚡️.. B&O is another Danish amazing thing.😉😂😂. PS. Mis a bad joke.. 🤔🥺😂

Worth mention not everyone have phone that is wireless charged XD
Where’s the Audi? I only see a Ford Fiesta?
Can you ask Audi why the United States isn’t get the a1 or s1
At least it isn't as awkwardly shaped as the previous one
Hello Misha, hello Carmrades.
De hoofdsteunen kun je meestal in hoogte verstellen, bij Audi ook? De lichte (gele) interieur delen zijn best lelijk :-(
Good morning Misha
How often do I have to say it, I NEED MONEY!!
