2003 Audi A4 Cabriolet Near-Luxury Convertible
…continued
The A4 Cabriolet is Audi's stunning four-seat convertible. Filling out the A4 lineup, the Cabriolet offers usable size, luxury appointments and a clever front wheel drive configuration. It's handsome cloth top features a well insulated inner liner that soaks up road noise as few soft top cars can. This car is as quiet on the highway as some luxury sedans.
Further that top folds down into a "box" in the trunk which protects the contents of the trunk from the top. The clever idea Audi added is that the "box" folds up (through use of a lever) that allows that extra bit of luggage space when top-up cruising is called for. If the "box" is in the up position the top cannot be lowered.
The gorgeous top is highlighted by a band of satin finished metal around the doors and front glass. The body itself is classic Audi. The lovely styling hints at what the Cabriolet's purpose is through graceful, clean unadorned curves and edges. There is nothing 'busy' or 'fussy' on the exterior of this car.
As is befitting a car of this class, the interior fit and finish are first rate. All A4 models' interiors ooze quality from their design, materials and fit and finish. Again, the styling is clean - great gauges, easy to use climate controls and audio system.
Audi interiors are carefully crafted. The attention paid to how individual pieces fit together, which provides a harmonious whole, is the envy of the industry. Few other manufacturers build interiors as good as Audi's.
Open the door and you're treated to one of the best vehicle interiors available on the market. All A4 models' interiors ooze quality from their design, materials and fit and finish. Again, the styling is clean - great gauges, easy to use climate controls and audio system.
The seats follow the German school of thought that they must offer firm support; you sit on them not in them. They are exceptionally comfortable over long distances. The seats are upholstered in leather or an optional premium leather (as part of a Premium Leather Package).
