Audi S1 Sportsback - is it the finest baby hot hatch ever?

By ByronGoAuto - 26 November 2014

HOW much are you willing to pay for your baby hot hatch?

More than 25 years ago, the Peugeot 205 GTi was priced from $29,500 in Australia. Meanwhile, the Audi S1 Sportback has just hit local streets at a breathtaking $49,900.

“Extortionate!” you may decree. And, yep, a Toyota Yaris-sized city car within a couple of grand of Volkswagen’s giant-slaying Golf R isn’t going to be considered a blinding bargain. Especially when you can have the fine base A1 Attraction 1.2 turbo for $26,500.
