Five Grand Friday: Audi A4 Cabriolet - Honest John

If you're after a classy convertible, no one does it quite like Audi. On a warm summer's day, this is exactly the kind of soft-top that's ideal for cruising around in. Effortless and elegant, it's still the kind of car to get admiring glances. It may be a pre-facelift model but don't let that put you off, in our opinion the original model is neater than the revised version. And in silver with a black roof, it's a classic look. It's powered by the wonderfully smooth 2. 4-litre V6 engine which was the 'entry-level' model when the A4 Cabriolet was launched, alongside a 3. 0-litre V6. It's no slouch though with 170PS on tap, although this is a car designed more for... This model also comes with the much preferred multitronic gearbox rather than the five-speed manual. For £5k you're getting a lot of convertible for your money, especially when you consider that the A4 Cabriolet would have cost at least £25,000 when new. That was for a base model and this S line example has the full black nappa heated leather sports seats along with a Bose sound system. The back seats look like they've never been sat in. Although given the lack of rear legroom, that's hardly a surprise. Judging from the photographs, this looks like a very tidy A4 Cabriolet. Source: www.honestjohn.co.uk
