Firstly an Audi A1 is not a 'luxury car' - not by a long chalk - in the real world even a Ferrari or Lamborghini at 10 times the cost can have a fault.

I think that the OP has bought into the Audi marketing depts brand of "luxury", just like some people buy in to the VW brand of "reliability and quality".

Marketing is the work of the devil.

If my experience of an Audi A1 is anything to by, expect it develop a number of annoying squeaks and rattles as it gets older. Strangely, some of the squeaks and rattles can magically resolve themselves, only to return some time later....

I think the number of squeaks and rattles coming from the OP will outweigh the number coming from the car if this thread is anything to go off.

I wouldn't call an Audi A1 a luxury car

I think you're all misreading the original post and reading what you wish to read..... I never called my Audi a1 a luxury car, I said I wouldn't expect my car to break after one month from a LUXURY CAR NAME

Is Audi a Luxury Car name? to me they are just specced up more expensive versions of VWs, which are more specced up expensive versions of Seats and Skoda...

a long spec sheet on a car doesnt make it luxury. I had a 307 with every option i could think of once, was still a peugeot 307!

But as others have pointed out, your car is fitted with the engine from a Skoda, which is made up of components that you'd find on any Fiat. The name they call the car has very little effect.

The only thing I'd expect to differ is the customer service, Audi giving better customer experience and customer service than Skoda or SEAT.

That being said, the customer service provided by Audi in this example seem to be absolutely fine.
