Beauty, Power, Stile, Reliability, all together. Having rear wheel drive makes a big difference compared to the Audy Cabrios, and with a standard shift transmission, you just have a more fulfilling experience......My car has just 34.000 miles on it !!Apr 02, 2014

The auto has the right size for around town and is a blast on road trips. East to park , great gas mileage and nothing like a convertible in the warm weather. The Color really stands out as sporty and elegant..Mar 01, 2014

Probably the best car I've ever had. Rear wheel drive, great handling, sporty styling, relatively simple mechanics. Power was not its best attribute with only 140hp and 127ft/lb of torque. But at speed on the highway, its passing speed is excellent. On the track with its tight handling can keep up with more powerful cars, especially during cornering and turns. Nov 23, 2011
