?25k? You sure? ?18k sounds like a lot but it's more palatable.

This car was turning out to be great. 200bhp, 4wd pocket rocket, then I read the price. ?25k? What were they thinking? There are loads of cheaper alternatives.

Four wheel drive just isn't necessary on a 200bhp car. Of will be adding to the cost, weight, performance and fuel consumption/emmissions. It's a shame Audi feels bullied into it in order for is to sport the S badge.

Nice little car... Let's see what MB will make of its new A-Class. By the way, the MiTo is still the best looking of them all, in my very own opinion.

Sounds like a good package. I'm just not sure it deserves the S1 name i always hoped they'd maybe return to rally or reserve that name for a race car of some sort, maybe i'm just being sentimental.

i like the A1/S1 a lot. i think it attracts boys and girls and it will sell like hot cakes.

I can see A1 and Alfas MiTo change its style every 6 years or so as per normal, but will Mini remain its same retro look over the years?

This thing really does look wierd. Kudos on that achievement. As to AWD, I doubt it. As to 19 inch wheels: that's ridiculous. Already a small knock on my 18"s sends my rims out of balance and possibly alignment. And is as tough as nails. Let alone the cost of tyres. 19"s are a niche (for now) - and ride comfort aside - would cost more than most care to spend, surely?
