Audi A3 Audi A3 Convertible

The 2018 Audi A3 Convertible (also known as the A3 Cabriolet) is best described as a stylish, well-built, and agile premium compact cruiser that offers a refined open-air driving experience with a high-quality, tech-forward interior.
It's the entry point into Audi's convertible lineup, prioritizing upscale urbanity and day-to-day comfort over raw sports car aggression.
Key Strengths
Exceptional Quality & Refinement: It features a typically excellent Audi interior with top-notch materials and solid build quality that feels more expensive than its price tag. This refinement extends to the cabin, which is surprisingly quiet for a convertible when the soft top is up (especially with the optional Acoustic Top).
Smooth Turbo Power: It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a quick-shifting dual-clutch automatic transmission (S tronic).
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): Typically offered with 186 hp and a 7-speed transmission.
Quattro All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Offered with 220 hp and a 6-speed transmission, providing extra grip and quicker acceleration (0-60 mph in the high 5-second range).
Effortless Convertible Top: The power-operated cloth top is quick to operate (around 18 seconds) and can be opened or closed at speeds up to about 31 mph (50 km/h), making it highly convenient for city driving.
Tech Showcase: Many models feature Audi's Virtual Cockpit (a 12.3-inch fully digital and customizable gauge cluster), which was a class-leading feature in 2018, transforming the driving interface.
