CAR REVIEW: The latest iteration of the Audi A1 has what it needs but lacks that special extra — something not even a fancy colour name can rectify.
The colour of a car can do a lot for it. Pearl white, for example, has become a staple of so many manufacturers who, with a spray of paint, have added a glimmer of luxury to the look. Black and we’re talking gangster. Red and we’re thinking “fast”. Like Ferrari fast.
Car manufacturers, however, can’t simply use “red” and in the case of Audi there is “Misano Red”, a brilliant colour that certainly gets attention. Let’s skip the eye-rolling for now because whatever you call it, on the streets and for the various looks of admiration it drew, it screamed “sexy”.It also helped that they let us have a spin in the sportback 35 TFSI advanced S tronic.
It’s a bit of a shock to the system then that this vehicle uses a soon-to-be antiquated device called a key to start it. The absence of the push-start button stands in contrast to the highly functional and stylish digital dashboard.Speak your command and the car does what you want it to do; from navigation to finding your preferred radio station.
