Changing a Mazda2 for an Audi A1?
I have a 2009 Mazda2 Tamura and feel I would like to change to an Audi A1. I do on average 6,500 miles per year. Which model would suit me best?

The 1.4TSI 122. But, though it has Audi cachet and a much more upmarket interior, the A1 is not worth spending three to four times what you will get in p/x for the Mazda 2.
