I have been trying the A4 Cabriolet. Alas still 2wd in RHD but nice all the same. The V6 TDi is a very odd handler. It weighs 122 Kg more than the 1.8T that has the same bhp and it is clearly all under the bonnet (where else could it be?). Definitely needs a stiffer front end to stop it wallowing and something needs to be done to stop it running wide.
The 2.4 petrol is slower than the 1.8T and is very lethargic. The 3.0 litre petrol seems to be the best sorted by some distance but it's pretty thirsty.
All in all, just not sure. Anyone else out there tried one?

Remeber, A4s still have their engines slung out way in front of the front wheels. Audi has done what it could with alloy suspension arms, etc., but the laws of physics will still eventually take over. Not a problem for most Audi Cabrio buyers, though, because it's such a sensationally good looking car and looks is what they're after.
