Summary
What does this car say about you?
I like understated style and performance. I don't like drop top tdi's. I can't afford an A5 cabriolet. :).
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Couln't care less, it's an audi. If I cared about this I'd be a BMW 3 series driver.....
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absoultely. It's all I hoped and more. The car is so refined, roof up you genuinely don't know you are in a convertible. Roof down you feel like you are on holiday when you are commuting to work.
What are you likely to buy next?
Audi A5 quattro cabriolet when the prices drop a bit.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fast. Feels much much faster than the 0-60 time would suggest. The accleration from 50 mph is savage. Handling is typical audi. Grippy, predicable, safe and to be honest boring. But thats a bonus in my book.
What's it like to park?
Dead easy, speed sensitive power steering means its light as a feather at car park speeds.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing
What's most practical about your car?
The boot is huge for a cabrio with the roof up and not too bad with it down. Proper torsen based quattro 4wd means you simply put your foot down, and it goes, no matter what the weathers like.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated seats. They go from warm to red hot depending on the setting you choose and mean you an have the roof down pretty much whenever its not raining.
