Overview

With it’s neat lines, understated image and reputation for refinement it’s little surprise the A4 Cabriolet has proved such a popular choice. Less brash than a BMW 3-Series, the drop-top version of the A4 features a fabric roof which folds down electrically at the touch of a button. Once down wind buffeting is kept to a minimum, while the Cabriolet also drives well with or without the roof up.

Compared to rivals it offers better rear passenger space and with a decent size boot the A4 Cabriolet proves you don’t have to sacrifice practicality to have a soft-top.
