Premium feel for affordable money

Positives

Smooth drive, very quiet, sleek gear change and certainly feels well put together. Go kart like handling (but not quite mini )

Customization to a degree (for example; I've change the air vent sleeve to gloss white, new leather steering wheel, new funky interior door handles.....and all bought off ebay for a fraction of the audi price tag) Can really make this car look individual for a few hundred quid.

Everyone that's been in a passenger has complimented the car. The girlfriend genuinely thinks the car is young and sexy' so a lot of sex-appeal ( for example: on the car MMI system screen, you can add a photo to the music tracks, so I added photos of my girlfriend to our favourite songs......definitely sexy...definitely impressive)
MMI system in general a nice premium feel, with the flash screen raising from the dash.
decent boot space.....easy access.....wide doors....
start stop as standard
good brakes - which is important to me
£30 road tax
turbo as standard on 1.2 - so its pretty quick for only 1200cc engine.

Dealers brilliant - treated me like royalty. I was really impressed with Bolton Audi. Came away feeling really well looked after; and not just another customer (for example: I parked up and a chap opened my door for me; and said "Good morning Mr Brown - your here for a new Tyre I believe.....let me get you inside and make you a hot drink). They did the tyre AND gave me a free winter check (including adjusting the had brake)....and full valet.....and all for less than what the tyre would cost at Kwik Fit (£101.00 fully fitted for a Dunlop SP sport)

Negatives
The cost of the car can be pricey and you definitely pay for the audi badge. Remember;, I believe this is a Polo underneath all the Audi look
Only two seat belts in the rear
fuel isn't fantastic unless stick to no faster than 70 mph
not 100% sure of long term reliability - yet to be convinced.

Would I buy again?
Yes - IF and ony IF i could afford the price tag of around 13k - 18k
