So after a lot of waiting and a couple of delays I finally took delivery of my 2016 audi s1. I'll sort pictures out in the next day or two as I haven't had chance to get some decent shots yet.
But first impressions I'm in love. The way it sticks to the road as your flinging it round corners or going flat out on the straight is amazing. It pulls so well in every gear and is an absolute blast to drive. Couldn't have been happier with it and every part of it has impressed me.

Only got 21mpg so far but have been driving without too much care for fuel. Only found two problems and not sure if either of them are just me not understanding properly.
1. The passenger seat lever to move it back and forth isn't working and the seat won't move making it very tight in the back.
2. I've had a warning about tire pressure in my rear left tyre but it won't go away and after checking it seems to be fine

If anyone has any answers to these I'd be grateful

But bottom line is I definitely don't regret shelling out the cash to leasing this absolute beast of a car. After deliberating on a few different cars I'm glad I chose the right one

Cheers
Dan

Great news Dan. Look forward to the pics.

In relation to your queries, I would just take it back to the dealer to check it over. I wouldn't take any chances with a brand new car.

Annoyingly the dealer is a nearly 4 hour drive from my house

I had a puncture in my tyre about 2 days after I got it. ****** screw. Get the tyre checked just in case. If not then check all the tyre pressures and use the reset to store the pressures in the car menu.

Sounds good mate! I'm looking to lease one and wondered if you could help me out? How much you paying per month and what's the length? I'm looking at 2 years and ideally as cheap as possible lol!

We'll mines on a business lease not sure how much different that will make it. I've got a 3 year deal paying 330 a month before VAT and a down payment of 1250. Although bare in mind I've gone for a bare spec leaving out the pricey options.

That's not bad actually, mines private so will be more naturally but don't mind paying around £375-400

I bit late but some indy contract hire places were offering S1's at £270 a month and approx £1800 deposit, but that was November!
