I have had a 98 Audi Cabriolet (black) for months now, and found it to be a very user friendly car. It looks stunning, nearly as good as the A4 Cabriolet (but the S4 Cab? wow, seen it yet? makes the M3 Cab look ordinary). The hood operation is very easy, with only the first bit of opening or the last bit of closing being manual.

Performance is ok, from the 2.6 V6, but not stunning. Also the lack of the Quattro is a bit of a nuisance. I realise it is a space thing, but they can fit it in the new S4 Cabriolet (must be an even smaller boot on that thing).

I love the car, and in the Aussie summer, it will be sensational. Sorry if I keep mentioning the soon to be realeased S4 Cabrio, butI only found out about it today. Have my next car picked out already, just have to get pals with the bank manager.

I have owned a 1998 Audi Cabriolet for 3 months now and have to say it's the most excellent car. Everyone loves it, whether they are a driver, a passenger, or merely looking at the car from a distance, hood up or down. It's engineered to last forever, crosses great distance without you even noticing, has a great range (70 litre fuel tank) and an excellent audio system (6CD changer and a subwoofer in the ski hatch - all standard Audi kit). A stunning car.
