The interior of the Cabriolet is roomy and comfortable, with an optional padded, acoustic roof that comes close to the quiet ride you would expect in a hardtop. Expect with the 2007 A4 as standard equipment, a first-aid kit and high-power radio antenna. Instrumentation is easy to read and ergonomically placed, with a comfortable, adjustable drivers seat.

Cabriolet owners will find that many of the optional items available on the A4 are worth the extra charge just for the fun of having them onboard. Those adaptive high-intensity headlamps are fascinating to observe, turning to the direction you steer, enabling you to see around every bend in the road. Nearly everyone knows how entertaining an optional navigation system can be, making it almost fun to be lost. The 2007 A4 Cabriolet deserves the ability to drive with a thrilling soundtrack playing, especially Wagner’s “Flight of the Valkyries” through a Bose(R) Premium Sound System. Don’t count safety options out, as the A4 has plenty of them, including Rear Side Airbags and a Tire Pressure Monitor.

2007 Audi A4 Cabriolet sets a new standard for safety in a convertible with protection for occupants in the event of a rollover. Onboard sensors cause two protective bars to pop up when a rollover is about to occur, effectively serving as a roll bar to protect the occupants. Keeping you from further harm is the A4’s 4-wheel ABS with brake energy apportionment system, plus Audi’s skid control system. Audi also has its occupants covered with front side and side curtain airbags.

The interior of the A4 Cabriolet is smartly appointed with wood or metal trim, comfortable seating for four, and easy to read instrumentation. Visibility is good, even with the top up, and the cabin is comfortable with dual-zone climate control. In spite of the soft top, the A4 Cabriolet is surprisingly quiet, top up or down. There is only the sound of the engine when it approached shifting velocity.

Audi has made accommodations to the A4 that seem to solve many of the safety issues inherent with convertibles: side impact airbags to offer head protection, rear-seat side impact airbags, reinforced pillars, and two roll beams that project upward from behind the passenger’s heads in the event of a rollover. Keeping the A4 shiny side up and facing forward are the jobs of the stability system, including brake force augmentation. For parking assistance, the new reverse gear assist alerts the driver if objects are in the car’s path to the rear. A feature from concept cars of long ago, headlights that turn in the direction of the vehicle’s path are available on the 2008 A4.

You will find a wide variety of engine choices to power the A4 Cabriolet. This will include five different power plants, two gasoline and three diesel options. All five use direct fuel injection technology. The gasoline engines are the 1.8 TFSI and the 3.2 FSI. The 3.2 version produces 265 horsepower and will go from 0 - 60 in around 6 seconds. Top speed for this version will be 155 mph. The diesel options include 2 V6 engines and an in line four cylinder. The 2009 Cabriolet is only available in front wheel drive, with an automatic transmission. Depending on which engine is under your hood, you can expect to get between 17 and 23 miles per gallon in the city, and between 25 and 30 on the highway.

The 2009 Cabriolet is a sleek and stylish looking car, even without the redesign that the sedan is getting. The simple shape is very recognizable, as is the signature Audi grill design. For safety purposes, the windshield frame has been beefed up so that it stays intact in the event of a rollover. The spoked wheels provide an added elegance to the overall appearance.

The interior of the Cabriolet is as attractive as it is functional. On the 3.2 version, the cockpit is accented with a handsome genuine wood trim. This comfortable ride also offers a load of technological options, including the Audi Navigation Plus system. This is a multifunctional navigation and entertainment system. It also offers the Audi parking System, as well as connectivity for Bluetooth and many other portable tech items.

The convertible was based on the A4 engine technology and officially replaced the previous Cabriolet that had been discontinued in 1998. The Cabriolet is often thought of as a reliable yet somewhat oversized and underpowered vehicle, however, the vehicle was released in 2002 with a more powerful engine and streamlined design than its Cabriolet predecessor. The convertible top is electrically operated and can be smoothly lowered or raised within 30 seconds.

The undeniable presence of the vehicle was not only visually stunning; it was also equipped with a continuously variable transmission which was highly regarded in the automotive industry worldwide. Its lightweight, responsive transmission and outstanding mechanical engineering is what has made the Audi such a reliable and performance driven vehicle.

With all the convenience and comfort features of the Audi A4, the Avant wagon provided more passenger space and more room for the cargo frequently transported by business travelers and younger families. The vehicle was available in either front wheel drive or four wheel drive with a variety of engine sizes. The engineering and mechanical aspects of the Avant Wagon rivaled the engineering and luxury options of more expensive and more popular German models such as the BMW and Mercedes Benz without the heartier price tag. All of the profound and more popular features of the Audi A4 sedan were also featured in the Audi A4 Avant.

Throughout the years between the introduction of the vehicle in 1995 and the 2007 model year, proficient German engineering has been the driving force of the A4, whether in sedan, wagon or convertible form. Though the sedan version appealed to those who did not need nor want additional cargo space, the Avant appealed to the growing population of young families and business people who needed the additional room but did not want to pay a high price or sacrifice comfort and luxury. Updates throughout the years for the Avant have included primarily intuitive engine and transmission upgrades and enhancements and more minor cosmetic upgrades including more user friendly interior controls and streamlining the body style and adding some well positioned chrome accents to give the Avant wagon more of the appearance of a sports vehicle than the typical functionality based family station wagon.

The 2008 Audi A3 is available in 2 trims - the base model 2.0T and a 3.2 Quattro. The 2.0T is a very versatile front wheel drive vehicle that is powered by a gutsy, turbocharged 2.0 liter inline 4 cylinder engine. Transmission choices are either a 6 speed manual or Audi’s S-tronic transmission, which is a manual transmission that shifts automatically. In previous years this versatile transmission was known as Audi’s DSG transmission, and it works very well. In fact, the S-tronic’s exceptionally quick downshifts and gear changes make it one of the best automatic-manual gearboxes on the market today that provides all the driver advantages of a fully automatic transmission. Acceleration is very good, taking the A3 from 0-60 in just 7 seconds. Fuel economy is pretty good too, with EPA estimates coming in at 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The 3.2 Quattro offers all wheel drive and a powerful 3.2 liter V6 that is mated to the S-tronic transmission. Horsepower is increased to 250 for this model, but due to the all wheel drive system, the more powerful motor does not provide much more in terms of acceleration but the 3.2 Quattro comes out of the 0-60 in 6.8 seconds. This version of the A3 gets 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, which is also pretty good for an all wheel drive vehicle. Both models benefit from steering that is nimble and quick to respond to the driver’s commands. Of course, being an Audi, crash test results for both models are impressive as well.

Standard features on the 2.0T include 17-inch wheels, power windows, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10 speaker stereo system and a trip computer. The S Line Options Package offers a sport-tuned suspension, fog lights, leather upholstered sport seats, aluminum interior trim, a roof spoiler and unique front and rear fascias. The Premium Package also includes some of the S-line’s features like the leather upholstery and fog lights, and adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror, 12-way power driver seat, rain-sensing wipers and HomeLink technology. The 3.2 Quattro has almost all of the features found in the S Line and Premium Packages as part of the standard equipment list and adds a Satellite radio. Options for both models include a dual-pane sunroof, bi-xenon headlights, a navigation system, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity and a manual rear sunshade. A Cold Weather Options package offers heated exterior mirrors, windshield washer nozzles and seats.
