Audi A1

What Car of the Year 2012 - Best Supermini

And the award goes to...

The Audi A1 has once again cemented its credentials as an exceptional car by winning What Car? Supermini of the Year 2012 for the second year running.

In its first 12 months, the Audi A1 made the leap from ‘Most Exciting Car of the Year’ in 2010 to What Car? ‘Car of the Year’ in 2011.

Referring to the A1's success as 'Car of the Year' in 2011, Steve Fowler, Editor in Chief of What Car? explained: “The Audi A1 is a brilliant car: brilliantly targeted and brilliantly executed. More and more buyers are looking for smaller, more efficient small cars, but with all the luxury trappings of much larger cars. That’s exactly what Audi has given them – a super-stylish, high quality small car that’s affordable and great fun, too.”
