Because Americans “don’t buy” tiny luxury vehicles, according to Car & Driver, Audi doesn’t sell the A1 in the United States. Nevertheless, once C&D evaluated it, the magazine referred to it as the “ultimate subcompact.” Since 2010, the Audi A1 has been a best-seller, and it has received a five-star safety certification from the Euro NCAP.
