    I am not sure and I don't really care.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Definitely an Audi but as much I love this car I am not sure if I buy the same model.

    Either Audi A5 cabriolet or TT. But I think A3 cabriolet has more room at the back than A5 cabriolet.

    March 2010

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    I think we got a good deal because we got a 10% discount.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    It was a practical cabriolet.

    What was the dealer like?

    The dealer was friendly and helpful and not at all pushy. The day we went to collect the car, it was covered in a separate saloon and the dealer took the cover off and went through the details with us. It was an exciting day. The only downside was that it was raining so we couldn't take the cover off on the first day.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    The drive is smooth and reasonably firm. I love driving it.

    What's it like to park?

    Not much view from the back window but I use the parallel parking system all the time and have sensors at the back and front which come very handy so the parking is very easy.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing so far. After 2 years I still enjoy driving the car and I love it.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Although it does not look very large from outside, it has plenty of room inside for a cabriolet and does not feel like a cabriolet with the roof up.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Parallel parking system, Bose speakers and heated front seats.
