The AUDI A1 (2010-15) 5DR SPORTBACK 1.2 TFSI SS 86 EU5 S LINE is a premium small hatchback, with five doors adding useful access to its compact, city-friendly shape. It sits above many mainstream superminis for badge appeal and cabin finish, while remaining easier to park and run than a larger family car. The S line styling gives this A1 a sportier look. mycarcheck.com records 215 look-ups covering 106 different VINs, a useful sample of cars checked by shoppers.
