There is absolutely nothing wrong with the S1 as far as I can see..... It's just the bonkers price!

      The Skoda CEO is quoted as saying, "If they want a vRS they can buy a Octavia.",       They do not seem to get it that not everyone wants Taxi Size or styled cars.   As to the All New 3rd Generati

      Speaking of schemers and chavs, the only people I've seen in the new Fiesta ST have been lads that look barely over 17 and chavs.   Don't want to be that person, but that immediately put me off it.

    Totally agree with you Tom, came out quite well on the CAR Mags long term report.

    Shame that some of our member owners don't come out and give their views on the Topic.

    Audi do have to address the price New / Used ,as I don't see any presence on the roads around me.

    There are at least 4 Main Audi dealers within approx. 30 miles radius from me, think I may have seen one, on the road since launch.

    So a further month on and now 65 used / demo S1 on the Audi UK website.

     

    S1 sales must be PANTS for Audi!!

    Perhaps we will see a sales promotion drive soon!

     

    Cheapest one in UK :http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-car-locator/a1/2.0-tfsi-quattro-231ps/yeovil/604934655-21453.aspx?srcmdc=se_na_re_

    £22780

     

    The arrival of the Polo GTI and the on going success of the Fiesta ST,  must be impacting on S1 sales.

    Audi's stock holding in demo and used continue to rise .Now at 70 but no movement on prices!!

    Expect some of them to soon to be leaving the UK,

    and no longer appear on the 2nd or 3rd Quarter of Howmanyleft as UK vehicles.

     

    As Audi make sure they do not appear as a sales flop and something that people do not want, and second hand prices bombed.

    Vorsprungdurch technik.

    Interesting comment from a bit of a BMW fan but when will Audi realize their car is over priced for most punters.

    Drop your ambitions/greed Audi if you want to shift some used stock!

    He is comparing Apples & Pears though.

     

    Even BMW fans accept the flaws of the M135i, and big up the ones available in Mainland Europe with X-Drive.

     

    ??

    Do you think the 2014 Audi S1 was Manufactured and on Sale to the public so that the Parts were then able to assist in the 

    Homologation of Components of the New 2015 Skoda R5 Rally car, seeing as there are no AWD Fabia on sale.

    So 10 days on, have they really sold 3 cars in that time. Audi UK USED stock now at 67.

    So when will the 1st used S1 duck below the £22.0k lowest level mark.

    Interesting that no "used" Briskoda owners comments have yet been received on the topic.

    Is it VFM ,GREAT CAR TO OWN? Please let us know.

    I would like to see a Mag Test ,Road and Track, on say S1, Polo 1.8 GTI, Leon 28O/265 Cupra and say Fiesta ST - others?

    Priced capped at say £25 k New or demo used.

    My local dealer has a demo S1 in yellow. Looks stunning but has been on the forecourt seemingly untouched for a few months now.

    Powered by a two litre turbocharged engine so not really relevant - I briefly followed a BMW i8 yesterday, also no connection to the Skoda Fabia II.

    Maybe relevant to those that were looking for a replacement for a MK2 vRS, and wanted something with a manual gearbox from the VWG Stable.

    The CEO had stated there would be no replacement for the Mk2 vRS back in August 2013.

    The 2015 Polo GTI was not announced when this thread was started.

    (powered by a 1.8 TSI 'turbocharged' engine, manual or DSG)

     

    There is a Briskoda Member selling a used 2014 Audi S1 in Yellow.

    (Tuning box fitted) 

    Ad in the For Sales.

    The Briskoda member has an asking price of £26.500 with 6,000 miles.

    Not checked exactly what spec theirs is.

    Yellow and the Registration Number will not be for shrinking violets.

    Think that one is a Sportback,the one mentioned at £21,980 is a 3 dr @ slightly lower spec.

     

    That is a dealers selling price ,so guess private trade-in would be approx. £2k less.

    Not sure if JD has sold it yet or whether it is very much tied in with the purchase of his New RS3.

    This is still the cheapest one on their site and recently further reduced by approx. £500 ,a month on since last mentioned.

    Approx. a year old .

    As of today, down to £21000 - cheapest in UK @Yeovil Dealership.http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-car-locator/a1/2.0-tfsi-quattro-231ps/yeovil/604934655-21453.aspx?srcmdc=se_na_re_

    Worth a punt as fun small hot Hatch, as an alternative to Fiesta ST or Polo GTI?

    What is it with you constantly pimping an Audi on a Skoda forum?

    What is it with you constantly pimping an Audi on a Skoda forum?

    When are you going to be taking ownership of your Skoda - will it be a mk2 twin charger, as you seem to be an expert on this vehicle ,giving out loads of considered advice. 

     

    I have owned many Skoda's in the past.(2mk1 vRS,1 mk2 vRS ,  Octavia  vRS BE  mk2 TDI  and MK3 vRS Estate TSI.

     

    Perhaps being that there won't be a MK3 Fabia vRS, you  might consider this as an  alternative .Perhaps not, as I believe you want a DSG!

    The Audi UK demo / used website,   S1's are back up to 70 vehicles.

    So a week on and this car has dropped another £200 - Now £20600. So is the depreciation rate £200 / week then

    75, S1's in Audi dealerships, a few more are getting closer to the sub £22000 level now. with approx. 5000 miles on the clock.

    These comments are my observations.

    No pimping messages this week please!!!
