Audi Cabriolet

An Audi that has style

Advantages: Stylish, Elegant, and oozes quality
Disadvantages: Avoid yellow

...a big fan of the Audi A4. I regularly drive one and find the interior cramped and looks plain. Until... I had the opportunity to test drive an A4 1.8 convertible. the model I drove was Carribean Blue, with cloth seats. the first striking think you see about it is the large chromed edge around the front windscreen. with the top up this looks a little strange, but when the top comes down it changes the appearance dramatically. Lowering the soft top ...
...relaxing to control. The cloth seats are extremely comfortable with electronic height, tilt and movement. they are sports styled and hold you firmly but comfortably. Extras, as with all Audi's are expensive, but the model comes with all the necessary equipment which is of the usual high Audi quality ...

Review of Audi Cabriolet 1.8 

Audi A4 Cabriolet - 3 years experiences

Advantages: Terrific 'build quality', image
Disadvantages: Actual build quality, ride, seats, dealer, importer

...warranty. The attitude of Audi UK was - so what ? The MD of the local chain (Smith Knight Fay) never bothered to reply to letters, could not even manage a phone call, and the local dealer principal was a study in 'used-car-dealership'. He even told me, face to face, that 'If this was my wife's car, I'd be really annoyed at such costs and unreliability' - but then (of course ?) offered me no recompense. In short, this was the worst new car we have ...
...However, when you look at Audi sales figures in the UK you can see why. The dealers have a long line of punters (most improved sales in 2006 of any importer) desperate to buy into the brand, and service facilities from the last millenium, so they concentrate on the bottom line - shifting the metal from the showroom - and once you have the vehicle, well.......! Mercedes have been through this syndrome a few years ago, and are now very much improved. ...

Review of Audi Cabriolet 2.5 TDI

Audi A4 2.0 Deisel Cabriolet

Advantages: Fun to drive - a genuine 4 seater convertable
Disadvantages: visibility

Owned a 2.0 deisel cabriolet S-line for 3 months now and it is great fun and economical - in excess of 40 mpg. Acceleration is quick for a deisel due to the excellent manual gearbox - better than the 1.8 petrol automatic version. It will seat 4 adults easily and, with the hood up, will carry almost as much luggage as a standard A4. With the hood down about 50% of the boot space is taken up. The S-line gives many extras including leather seats, and ...

Review of Audi Cabriolet 2.0

Compensating for something?

Advantages: Elegance and style in looks, plenty of delivery under the bonnet
Disadvantages: Dull interior

...a shiney red 1993 2.3 audi cabriolet E 5 speed manual. The power that this car delivers is superb, sitting inside, the whole ride is smooth and quiet, and if you need that little more, floor it and watch the speedometer go crazy. The handling on her is something else, she takes corners with ease and you feel totally caressed in it's solid chassis. The steering is light and well proportioned to the task, and although she is quite a long car, parking ...
...what make this car different. Audi seemed to have selected the few places on a car to chrome to make sure that her looks just don't age. I have only recently aquired her and I can tell you, hood up, she's an eye catcher anyway. Hood down, well, she just reels in the admirers, 'cos let's face it, there are two reasons why people buy cabriolets aren't there! The only downside to her is the interior being so boring. Okay, so there are those Audi touches ...
