Thanks to everyone for sourcing cars for this video:
- Audi S3: bit.ly/Check-Out-Turo
- Audi S4, A6 & Q7: bit.ly/Milton-Keynes-Audi
- Audi A8: bit.ly/Newbury-Audi
If you’re in the market for a brand-new but relatively affordable car, an Audi A1 certainly isn’t a bad choice! You can pick up an A1 30 TFSI with a couple of options added for around £32,000.
However, what if you fancy something with a bit more performance than the A1? Or maybe you need something with a bit more space and practicality? Well if you’re willing to pick up a second-hand car instead, we think you’ll be surprised what’s available to you!
In fact, having browsed used cars available on carwow, we have found that pretty much any type of Audi is available for a similar price if you’re willing to go second-hand!
So if you’re looking for space and practicality, you could pick up a used A6 Avant or even a Q7 for similar money. If you want some performance, an S3 or S4 is available to you. And for those who want a bit of luxury in their life, you could even pick up an A8 - all for the same price as a new A1!
But that’s not all - we even found a first-generation Audi R8 available for around £30,000!
The question is, which will Mat find the best choice? Will he stick with the all-new car, or will he pick up something second-hand instead? You’ll need to stick with him and see which he thinks is the best value for money!

    • The R8 has the most performance whilst the Q7 is the most practical. Sometimes it's best to get one product for each purpose, other times it's fine to split the difference and make compromises to get the best of both worlds. The Short-Sedan S4 achieves that here, although I would've been partial to an RS3 for that long-hatch layout which gives good parking ability with ample interior for practicality and performance to put a smile on your dial. ....what I know most of all, is that the majority of the world is jealous of your market, used car prices, and access to all those parts and mechanics. You wouldn't (not should you) buy a luxury European Sports car if you live outside of North/West Europe and East-Coast USA. Not unless you can afford to do so. For most other markets, Toyota and Hyundai seem to be good options.

    • Yeah, you don't really need anything digital on the dials. All they need to do is tell you the speed, after all. My mum has a Ford Puma 2020 with analog dials and they're perfect for the job. I feel like the most egregious option is the capacitive buttons. Why would you pay extra to not properly feel the press of a button you're not looking at? I was already disappointed in capacitive buttons when I checked out the iPhone 7, which made the fingerprint home button capacitive, and most capacitive car buttons I've seen don't even come close to that one. A modern infotainment is a definite upgrade however. Especially if it has Android Auto and Apple Carplay, because that would prevent its eventual obsolescence for much longer than normal.

  • Happy to see a video on used cars!! there are some HUGE deals out there. I just picked up a 2020 e-tron 55 Launch Edition Quattro with every UK factory option on the car, 31k miles driven, 3 years extended warranty, 5 years remaining on the battery. 2 free services and 1 MOT.. it was under £34,000 with £0 deposit, brand new it was £90,000 something!!! 90!!!!. What a machine it is! its like nothing i have ever driven before in terms on luxury and speed, adpative air susspection and RS6 orange brakes are outstanding. The car looks hardly driven, only wear slightly on the driver seats, small scratch on black plastic... thats it, likley business use. Its the best bits from A1-A8 in an SUV basically. Audi even got the alloys redone in black for me and gave it new tires, paint correction and ceramic coating. its much better than the Kia EV6 is replaces and cheaper as well! pretty fast at 408bhp tbh, 220 miles range, pretty decent, The e-tron does coasting on the motorway so you end up travceling say 4 miles, but use 1-2 miles range, Audi EV secret sauce! they call it something odd tho. Audi glide lol so I was told. Charged on a ultra rapid chargers in 19 mins flat! from 2%-87%. Tested recently, very fast charging car indeed. I charge at home, £5 or so to fully charge it.
