#86 of 231 Do you have an '03 or '04 A4 convertible? by stevedvoskin Dec 08, 2003 (7:01 pm)
If you have an '03 or '04 A4 convertible, please tell me what's best and worst about the car. I'm particularly interested in how reliable it is -- have you had any problems yet? I am considering getting an '04 A4 3.0, probably the quattro.
#87 of 231 How does the top handle the elements?? by nsirpo Dec 18, 2003 (11:30 am)
I'm considering buying the A4 Cabrio Quattro...how does that top handle the elements? I live in Colorado so it has to be able to take some snow and it will have to spend the first few months without the benefit of a garage. Will it show signs of wear??   Do you recommend the car as a whole?

The top handles the elements very good. I own a '03 A4 2.5 TDI Cabrio and 2 weeks ago it began to snow for the first time this year here in Munich/Germany. I don't have a garage, too, but from my experience that's not a big problem for this car. The top is very well isolated and with those heated seats the car becomes warm in a few minutes. With Quattro you will even have a better "winter-car" than most other sedans, coupés etc. I recommend this car very strong, because it's fun to drive, it's a real eye-catcher (here in Germany Audi's reputation and image seems to be much better), and the costs are moderate. Here are a few pics: http://www.carpassion.com/de/usergarage.php?no=339   Good luck with your decision and sorry for my bad english
#89 of 231 Question by rme78 Dec 30, 2003 (7:24 pm)
I am looking for my first car and fell in love with the cabriolet. I would love to find a used quattro cabriolet but it still may be out of my price range. I need a car that would be used "year-round" and was wondering from the owners your thoughts on a cabriolet's dependability and also how well a fwd does in the snow.   Thanks Replies to this message: swdea (Dec 01, 2004 10:59 am)
#90 of 231 Any suggestions? Need a convertible that can handle winter driving! by connelly Jun 06, 2004 (7:07 pm)
My goal is to find a convertible that can handle bad winter driving conditions (like a drive to VT in the middle of a snow storm!). Am I asking for too much?!?! I have been considering the A4 1.8/4-cyc and the 3.0/6-cyc. I thought that the FWD on the A4 would be fantastic (other converts I looked at had RWD). Is the FWD enough for the car to handle winter driving conditions? I like the idea of buying a 2003 model since it is a year old and I can save on the cost of the car. But now I see that the 2004 model will offer AWD! Would that make all the difference in the world for winter driving? I would not be happy laying out extra $$ for a new car! But if it's a great feature for that, I might have to consider it (despite budget constraints!) Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'd really appreciate any feedback you have to offer!   Kathleen Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 26, 2004 12:34 pm)
#91 of 231 Convertible top stopping midway by doroy Jun 26, 2004 (8:10 pm)
Has anyone had a problem with the convertible top stopping midway when opening? I have a 2004 A4 Cabriolet with 7000 miles, and don't have any complaints, except for the top (Only THE reason we bought a convertible!) It only happens when the car is in my driveway that has a slight incline. When the car is level, the top performs flawlessly. I took it to the dealer (twice), and of course, they could not duplicate the problem. They even put the front end on a rack to produce an incline, but everything worked. I brought it home, and the first time I tried it on the driveway, it stopped! I took it to a level ground, and it works.   On another topic, I guess most of you know by now that the in dash 6 CD changer doesn't shuffle between CD's. It only shuffles tracks on a single CD. That was mentioned on the A4 board, and also verified by my dealer. Why, then, do they have that as a CD menu option?   Doroy Replies to this message: sunnygirl (Mar 13, 2005 6:49 am) audicab007 (Mar 22, 2005 6:26 am)
#92 of 231 Cabriolet's Weight by jazzjit Jul 26, 2004 (9:38 am)
Hey Everybody,   My sister was thinking of buying a new 2004 Audi Cabriolet AWD this year. She's not too much into performance and what not but would like a car that's relatively fast and not sluggish. I was looking at the Cabriolet's weight and it is over 4000 pounds with an AWD. I wanted some feedback on current Cabriolet owners as to how the car performs driving wise. Thanks.

Replying to: connelly (Jun 06, 2004 7:07 pm) You can get thru winter conditions with any drive configuration provided you're equipped with snow tires (not all-season) but if you undertake long drives in bad weather you'll find that awd is much more relaxing to drive.   FWD will get the job done but awd is only an extra $1650, that's 1.4% more on a $45k convertible.

She might want to wait until the new 2005.5 models are released early next year, they should have the new 3.2 FSI (252hp) V6. The current 3.0L model is sluggish.   M Replies to this message: jazzjit (Jul 29, 2004 7:48 am)
