| RUNNING COSTS RATING: |
 |
The highest cost of running a new car is depreciation and there should be no worries here: values for this cabrio should remain rock-solid, with very strong demand on the second-hand market for years to come.
The diesels will be the most effective company car options, with low carbon dioxide emissions and thus low tax bandings, though fuel consumption is not particularly impressive for any version, given the car's size and weight. The S4 promises just 20.3mpg (manual) or 22.4mpg (tiptronic) and we suspect that it's thirstier than that under real-life conditions.
Audi servicing is not cheap, either, although it compares well to other "premium" manufacturers; with variable service intervals for some engines, you could get away with infrequent visits to a dealer if you drive sympathetically.
