What should I replace my Audi A1 with?

I am looking to replace my 10 year old Audi A1 that has a sunshine roof that I really enjoy. When I googled a new Audi A1 I was told that I can have a sunshine roof with a design package. However the Audi chat line, Audi garage and build your own does/do not show such an option? Would you say a Volkswagen Polo GTI is a good alternative? It has a sunshine roof and is only 4 inches longer than my current Audi A1 so it would fit in our garage that is important to us.

Having just tried to search for this itself, it looks like what you might be seeing is Google's AI search facility picking up information from a pricing and specification guide for the previous-generation A1, which was indeed available with a panoramic sunroof. Sadly, the current version is not available wth a sunshine roof. Unfortunately, these AI results can make searching for anything car-related quite difficult, so it's always worth a closer look to see where the information is being plucked from in case it's (as was apparent here) taken from an out-of-date source.

Regarding the VW Polo GTI, it would be an excellent alternative to the Audi A1, and in fact shares many of the same components, including its platform - the Polo is essentially Volkswagen's version of the A1.
