?

Appeal and fun of a cabriolet. I wanted a convertible that had decent boot space and folding rear seats.

What was the dealer like?

Awful, Audi main dealers are pretentious and after sales care is terrible.

What's it like to drive?

1.6 tdi is only slightly quicker than walking to your destination! Handling is ok but it lacks power needed for pulling away from corners.

Ok. Very difficult to see out of rear window not helped by roll bars but reverse sensors help.

Heated rear screen hasn't worked since I bought it. Otherwise build quality and reliability have been good so far.

Fuel economy is very good.
