Which is better Audi A1 or Mini Cooper?

The tiny 1.0 litre engine in the A1 offers marginally better fuel consumption and emissions than the Mini Cooper, though both are quite thrifty. For practicality in a small package, we’d go for the A1, but if you’re looking to lease, the cheaper Mini might be the better option.

What kind of engine does the Audi A1 have?

This particular A1 has already been under the Top Gear test drive microscope, where we quickly worked out you don’t need to spent the thick end of £30,000 to get a good one.
