Audi A3 Cabrio

Last Updated:








It looks really nice.
But I heard before it wasn’t coming over here. the new A5 Convertible will replace the A4 Convertible in the US.

I don’t see why they couldn’t see this for around $30 000 in the US…
The small BMW 1 series Convertible will start at over $35 000 over here (Insane) so there would be a market.

  1. If I wanted a convertible, I would never buy the Eos, and I certainly would buy this. VW’s USA product planning must be braindead.

  2. I drive an 04 S4 cab, and it is the most amazing car I’ve ever owned. I’m going to be ready for a replacement in a couple years. I”m glad that Audi is staying with the cloth top. It’s got a lower center of gravity and has real trunk space compared to awkwardly styled hard top cabrios. However the A3 is way too cutesy for me. I see the upcoming S5 cabrio competing with the MB SL and the BMW 6 convertibles. These are way too fat-cat for my style. There needs to be something in between. The nimble and understated B6 platform is just about perfect. I’m sorry to see it go away.

  3. Cute car but the roll-over bars ruin the appearance. I guess cost-saving kept them stationary instead of pop-ups.

    Cost, weight and the possibility of having a trunk pass-through. I agree that they ruin the lines of the car.

    Good point. I hadn’t considered the trunk pass-through which would be an important feature on a car with so little trunk space to spare.
