It&#8217;s obvious that 2 cars are totally different, in both sizes and build. We both like to drive the cabriolet, it&#8217;s nimble, quiet, solid, comfortable and very easy to drive because of its size. The car feels heavy and stable for a small car. Wind noise is practically none when the top is up. The car is quick, responsive and smooth with the Multitronic CVT transmission. The 3.0 litter is so powerful, it pulls the car easily and effortlessly through all ranges. We try to avoid turbos and supercharged engines, simplicity always is more reliable and easy to maintain. We drove for 334 miles city and freeway and fill up again is 13.77 gallons (24Mpg). The gas mileage is great on this car especially with 221hp 3.0L V6. The power top is nice and easy to operate, the wind deflector is a must to have while driving any convertible if you don&#8217;t want the wind to blow through the car so much. It is a joy to drive the Audi A4 Cabriolet. We love the car.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QB4OSJycvg0?rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"04 Cabriolet\" alt=\"04 cabriolet\" src=\"\/media\/audi_tn\/04cab_1.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dAoFJVvS8BI?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>All cars have their own problems, I read a lot of problems on the forum about the CVT transmission failures, but until it happens, we will enjoy our car. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Cheers,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>idog<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/audi-a8l-d5-reliability-report.html\">Audi A8L D5 Reliability Report<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/audi-a8l-d5-park-assist-plus-retrofit.html\">Audi A8L D5 &#8211; Park Assist Plus Retrofit<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/how-to-stop-lidar-radar-washer-nozzles-from-leaking.html\">How To Stop Lidar Radar Washer Nozzles From Leaking<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/audi-a8l-d5-60k-miles-service.html\">Audi A8L D5 60k Miles Service<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/oil-change-on-a8l-d5-55-3-0l-at-50k-miles.html\">Oil Change On A8L D5 55 3.0L At 50k Miles<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/maneuver-assist-on-a8l.html\">Maneuver Assist On A8L<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/replace-spark-plugs-on-q7-3-6l.html\">Replace Spark Plugs On Q7 3.6L<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/audi-a8l-55.html\">Audi A8L 55<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/what-you-should-must-know-about-audi-air-adaptive-suspension.html\">What You Should\/Must Know About Audi Air Adaptive Suspension<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/left-air-suspension-failed-at-131k-miles.html\">Left Air Suspension Failed At 131k Miles<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/apple-carplay-for-audi-mmi-2g.html\">Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Audi MMI 2G<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/what-you-mustshould-know-about-audi-mmi.html\">What You Must\/Should Know About Audi MMI<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/what-you-should-know-about-ami-cables.html\">What You Should Know About AMI Cables<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/2006-a8l-d3-front-air-suspension-failed-119k-miles.html\">2006 A8L D3 Front Air Suspension Failed @ 119k Miles<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/105k-miles-service-on-my-2006-a8l.html\">105K Miles Service On My 2006 A8L<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/looking-for-the-best-used-a8-d3.html\">Looking For The Best Used A8 D3<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/things-we-shouldmust-know-about-our-audis-in-case-of-emergency.html\">Things We Should\/Must Know About Our Audis In Case Of Emergency<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/how-to-replace-bulbs-on-q7-rear-bumper.html\">How To Replace Bulbs on Q7 Rear Bumper<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/audi\/enable-carplay-android-auto-on-ntg5s1-b250e.html\">Enable CarPlay Android Auto On NTG5S1 B250e<\/a><\/li><\/ul><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a week since we got our 04 Audi Cabriolet, my wife misses the comfort and stability of the A8 while driving the cabriolet.
