A look at Audi's A3 convertible - CBS News
Those looking for a luxury-branded convertible with a low price tag should turn toward Audi's A3 Cabriolet. With a $36,525 starting retail price, including destination charge, the Audi A3 Cabrio comes with standard leather-covered seats and dual-zone climate control -- not found in other low-priced 2015 model year convertibles, such as the Chevrolet... Best of all, the A3 Cabrio ranks third best in fuel mileage among all U. S. convertibles, behind the much smaller Smart Fortwo Passion Cabrio and Mini Cooper convertible. The federal government says it gets 24 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, and judging by the fuel-sipping nature of the test vehicle, those numbers are achievable, averaging just over the 28-mpg combined city/highway rating. Drivers who aren't interested in the muscle-car look of the Camaro and Ford Mustang will find much to like in the Cabrio, which, true to Audi custom, looks is business-like but with a sense of craftsmanship. Horsepower peaks at 170, so it's not close to the 323 horses found in the Chevy Camaro's V-6. The test A3 Cabrio Premium Plus moved like a solid. Source: www.cbsnews.com
