1. The Audi A3 has a traditional cloth roof, which helps to keep the car's weight down
2. From launch, the Cabriolet’s engine options included three petrols and two diesels.
3. Our pick is the 1.8-litre TFSI – it’s reasonably priced and delivers good performance.
4. In 2009, engine stop-start systems became standard across the A3 range, helping to improve fuel economy and cutting CO2 emissions.
5. The only major issues with the A3 Cabriolet concern the roof. Motor failures and problems with the wear and tear of the roof fabric are the biggest gripes.
