Business Car Manager verdict
As well as the wonderfully ballsy performance from the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo engine, the sporty Audi S1 has a surprisingly compliant ride, with the added security of quattro four-wheel drive.
So SME company directors or small business owners can combine a great drive with an easy everyday business car.
These additional attributes are on top of the A1’s established premium Audi image and high quality finish to the S1’s well-made interior.
All of which equal a car of multiple talents that is great fun to drive.
