Audi Cabriolet Overview

Solid German engineering, classic muted styling, and staid sophistication would seem to rule out any time for spirited fun. Enter the Audi Cabriolet, which hit the U.S. market in 1994. A solid, stylish, and sophisticated automobile, this two-door convertible was a kick to drive. It has held up well over the years, and owners today say they still get comments about their little drop-top car.

Based on an Audi 90 platform, the Cabriolet wheelbase was actually about two inches shorter. It featured seating for four, and a convertible top that folded back under the rear seat out of sight. Though convertibles are meant for enjoying the summer air, the wind effect can be annoying, so Audi offered a noise-reducing windscreen that could be put up when the backseat was unoccupied. They also somehow designed the Cabriolet to be amazingly quiet when the top was up, a task that many convertibles find hard to accomplish.

Inside, though not chock-a-block with all the normal Audi bells and whistles, the Cabriolet was still comfortably luxurious. For a while, leather seats and trim were standard, as were power mirrors, power locks and windows, and air conditioning. Special packages added such features as heated locks and seats (to keep your bum toasty in the winter wind), sports seats, and wood trim.

The Audi Cabriolet never sold particularly well in the U.S. as a stand-alone, though Cabriolet trims on other Audi models continued to be offered. It's hard to say why, since owners seemed to love not only its looks, but its precise, sturdy handling and excellent braking. Gas mileage, too, wasn't stellar, but wasn't terrible. Perhaps it was an inadequate powertrain for such a large convertible -- the 2.8-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic combination never changed over the course of the Cabriolet's brief lifespan.

Performance – acceleration is good from its 150bhp, 2.6 litre V6 engine, braking is excellent from its all-round disc brakes, handling is precise with minimal scuttle shake. Build Quality – excellent build quality with no rust on its galvanised body. Full service history and timing belt kit/waterpump just replaced. Appearance – exterior styling and body is first class, highly attractive and timeless. Cost of Ownership – 22-37mpg, depending on driving style. Fun Factor – great fun to drive!

Car is a fun extra vehicle! It has great handling and with the top up it is pretty quiet for a rag top. It runs great and has reasonable power. The ride is excellent for a sports car. Power top operates smoothly.

This is a very solid car, its not built for speed, its a cruiser. I have the 1.9 TDi version at 90hp, and it's fast enough for my needs, plus it has great handling in turns, its a heavy car, and that makes it feel very safe. Its a head-turner, specially in summer. convertibles have that effect on people, hehe. I get something like 900kms out of a tank of Diesel, so, can't complain there. The interior styling is old-fashioned, but very functional, very confortable ride, I have the all leather interiors. Its a Cabrio, so watch out for rain, there's always a few drops with heavy rain, from the junction between window and rubber from the soft-top Would I recommend it? before you buy, get it checked out by a mechanic. if it hasnt been abused, it's definitly worth it. a great car.

Perfect color - golden with blue roof top (convertible). Matches my favorite soccer team. Perfect for cruising on a sunny day. OK for a rainy day too. Turns heads everywhere I go. Great stereo with Bose speakers. A bit pricy - in DK you buy 1 car and pay for three (because of taxes).

Great one latch power top, automatically lowered the windows a few inches when you twisted the latch. Reasonable trunk space for a convertible. Wind blocker extended the season, though it rendered the rear seats unusable when installed.
