The masculine tweaking enhances the classic proportions and strong lines create a striking profile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under the Bonnet?<\/strong> The engine fitted to our test car was the 2.0-litre TDI engine, a powerful but silky smooth engine that has plenty of oomph thanks to quiet surges of power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about inside?<\/strong> As expected from Audi the interior is beautifully uncluttered and of high quality throughout. There is also a surprising amount of space inside; front passengers can lounge in comfort and while folding roofs always reduce space and rear seat space, two children will be comfy enough in the back and two adult for a short spin. Visibility is not great but it can be improved with the flick of a switch by unfolding the roof! \u00a0In just under 18 seconds it folds and unfolds and you can do it at speeds of up to 50kph \u00a0so it is quick enough to avoid those unexpected downpours.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/audi_a3_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9286\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/audi_a3_2.jpg\" alt=\"audi_a3_2\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>On the Road? <\/strong>The A3 Cabriolet drives so nice you will never want to get out of it. Push it into a corner and it is razor sharp, and at high speed, it\u2019s incredibly stable. The steering is accurate with really good feedback and it grips regardless of the surface. With the roof down it is equally as good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And Safety?<\/strong> Cabriolets always require a little extra assistance in terms of safety and all models are fitted with an active rollover protection system consisting of two spring-loaded plates that are recessed into the body protects occupants in case of a rollover accident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Options?<\/strong> As with the rest of the A3 family, the A3 Cabriolet is available with a choice of Entry, SE, or S line specification. Standard equipment at entry level includes the fully automatic hood, 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, the MMI radio incorporating a power folding screen, Audi Music Interface iPod connection, a Bluetooth interface and a driver&#8217;s information display with efficiency mode.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/audi_a3_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9287\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/audi_a3_3.jpg\" alt=\"audi_a3_3\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Economy?<\/strong> This powerful of engine returns a very impressive 4.6 litres per 100 or 61mpg and with CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions of 120g\/km it is also cheap to tax.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict?<\/strong> The days of sacrificing style for economy and performance are long gone.
