Quality interior, fast-acting roof, stylish-looking, practical.
Slightly uninvolving drive, not cheap, diesel still lacks refinement.
An ideal open-top cruiser for the style-conscious metropolitan car buyer.
Service intervals are pretty good, with oil changes at 9,000-19,000 miles and 19,000-mile service increments. However, we predict that many owners will be urbanites, so the wear and tear of stop-start traffic might bring these figures down. And servicing won't be cheap, as Audi dealers tend to charge a premium.
The two petrol engines are fairly efficient, with the 1.8 TFSI returning a combined cycle fuel consumption of 38.6mpg (37.1 for the S-Tronic) and the 2.0 TFSI giving 37.1mpg, irrespective of the transmission type. CO2 emissions for the petrol models are 174g/km (180) and 182g/km (181), putting them both in Band E.
The diesels are considerably more frugal, with the 1.9 TDI running at 55.4mpg and the 2.0 TDI at 53.3mpg (50.4mpg S-Tronic). CO2 figures of 134g/km for the 1.9 and 139g/km (148) put both in Band C.
