Audi A3 Cabrio

    Audi A3 Cabrio is a four-seater cabriolet with canvas canopy. It's convenient to use as a convertible, and-at least under the hood.

    Audi A3 Cabrio
    Audi A3 Cabrio

    The roof of canvas Audi A3 Cabrio may be of two kinds. The core requires the intervention of the driver to engage or disengage the windshield and has two layers. The second has an additional insulation (between the inner and outer layer, there is a third of 6 mm in thickness, which improves sound insulation and thermal) and its operation is fully automatic. This ceiling is € 915 and is optional for all versions.

    We tested the fully automatic version with hood. The feeling that gave us the Audi A3 Cabrio with this is that it provides a roof insulation similar to that which gives a convertible with folding hard roof, for example, a Volkswagen Eos.

    The hood may be advisable to opt for more expensive especially if they are going to use your car all year and will make many kilometres.

    One advantage is that the Audi A3 Cabrio cabriolets with respect to the folding metal roof, you need less time to save or deploy the roof. The Audi A3 Cabrio needs only to save the 9 s in the trunk, to place on the body takes about 13 s. It any event, there is very little time and the operation can be done up to 30 km / h.

    The soft top folds in the form of Z, is housed between the rear seats and luggage compartment. There is a rigid piece that covers the hood when it is folded, so that is not from outside.

    An interesting feature of Audi A3 Cabrio is that the volume of the trunk is the same roof is folded or on the body. The trunk has 260 l, which is not much, but the driver does not have to worry about changing the distribution of luggage when the low ceiling: an important part of cabriolets, the volume of its trunk and proportions change much when it hosts the ceiling within it. This is in a special way in which they have a retractable roof, because it usually occupies more than one site canvas.

    The endorsement of the rear seats of Audi A3 Cabrio is divided into two portions and can reduce any of the halves, although for reasons of rigidity, when Abate seats leaving the gap is not as large as usual in a car with bodywork closed.

    With the Audi A3 Cabrio can go up cabriolet just over 120 mph allowing a conversation without raising much voice among the occupants of the front seats. Nor are felt especially troublesome air currents in the head or body (always in the front seats), although people may need a very high cap to limit the scourge of wind on the forehead.

    As in all cabriolets seems to us essential to use the aerodynamic deflector (at least for road travel): there is much difference between carry and no. This item comes in versions' Ambition 'and the rest is optional. It can be folded into four parts and keep in the trunk when not in use.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    From the standpoint of the windbreak, Audi A3 Cabrio is much more effective than, for example, a Mazda MX5. But it does not seem a reason to elect him in front of cars as the Volkswagen Eos.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    The range of engines available is interesting. It is composed of two petrol engines turbo (T FSI) of 160 and 200 hp, and two Diesel (1.9 l TDI of 105 hp and 140 hp, 2.0 TDI). The diesel version has a 140 hp engine which has recently released the A4 (and also bears the Tiguan), with direct injection through common.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    The Audi A3 Cabrio 105 hp diesel has a manual gearbox five speeds, while the petrol version has a 160 hp six. The 200-hp convertible is linked to an automatic change of double clutch (Stronic ") which gives an excellent result.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    The Audi A3 Cabrio with petrol engines of 1.8 T FSI (160) and 2.0 T FSI (200 hp), gives a very good result, especially for benefits. The difference in benefits for the 2.0 l is greater than the advantage of that consumption is 1.8 l. However, given the price difference that exists between the two is so great as to rule out the more powerful.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    One point in favour of 2.0 litre of 200 hp is bound to the automatic shifter 'Stronic' six marches ( "DSG" in Volkswagen), which we like very much.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    They also tested the 2.0 l TDI 140 hp. An interesting aspect of Audi A3 Cabrio with this engine is that it has a smooth functioning of a higher than A3 2.0 TDI with bodywork closed (the latter still does not have the new diesel engine that Audi Audi A3 Cabrio has premiered in the new A4; The Cabrio yes).

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    Taking into account that the price of Audi A3 Cabrio 2.0 TDI is similar to the 1.8 T FSI, the reason for choosing the Diesel is having a lower cost per kilometer. The gasoline is more powerful and pleasant.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    On the road the Audi A3 Cabrio is not equivalent to an A3 three or five doors. The differences between them, beyond those which are given by the roof, which is in convertible, feel more vibrations in the structure, especially when the firm is not in perfect condition.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    This lack of strength can be seen in the movements of the windscreen regarding the safety of arches rear seats (in the mirror is an element that vibrates with respect to the other, this does not happen in a closed car). In a similar measure, this occurs in almost all cabriolets, especially those stemming from a car with a body of tourism (an Audi TT roadster, which derives from a coupe, apparently has a more solid structure that the Audi A3 Cabrio).

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    The Audi A3 Cabrio measuring 4,283 mm in length, 1,765 mm wide and 1,424 mm in height. It is virtually the same width and height of an Audi A3 Cabrio Sportback and 69 mm longer. The headlights of the convertible, when they are xenon, have a daylight consisting of seven diodes on each.

    Audi A3 Cabrio

    Mechanically have many elements in common with the Audi A3 Cabrio, although the structure is different for the most part. A convertible needs more strength in all parts surrounding what is left open when folding canopy, as well as other reinforcements (the example of the shoebox: it is much easier without cap twisted that it). Many of those who need reinforcements are made of steel with very high tensile strength; altogether 54% of the structure of Audi A3 Cabrio is made with high strength steel.

Audi S3

    Audi S3 is very appropriate for those who appreciate a sport that-as far as possible in a car of this kind-is practical, comfortable and functional.

    2008 Audi S3

    2008 Audi S3
    Audi S3

    Dynamically gives everything you would expect from a sport of this size with 265 hp, and it's easy to drive fast, is not uncomfortable suspension, has an engine smooth and elastic, is not excessively noisy and it is discreet exterior (except for the color of bodywork, whichever is chosen).

    2008 Audi S3
    Audi S3

    According to our measurements, the Audi S3 we have had has been extraordinarily fast for the power that advertises the brand. Passes, and by far a BMW 130I or a Porsche Cayman (245 hp) and is almost as fast as a Cayman S (295 hp). Consumption is not content but lower than the BMW. These are the benefits and consumption announcing the mark, compared with those of other sports such power.

    2008 Audi S3
    Audi S3

    The engine is a variant of more than four cylinders 2.0 litre engine capacity and turbocharged direct injection gasoline.

    2008 Audi S3
    Audi S3

    This engine has had several versions car series: 170 hp in the Audi A6, 185 hp in the SEAT Leon, 200 hp in the Volkswagen Golf GTI (among other models), 220 hp in the Audi A4 or 240 hp in the Seat Leon Cupra. It feels very similar to all of them, but with a greater sense of momentum.

    2008 Audi S3
    Audi S3

    The gearbox is standard six-speed manual; can not be automatic. It has a total switch able traction system automatically, through a clutch of multi-type Haldex.

    2008 Audi S3
    Audi S3

    The Audi S3 has a suspension lowered 25 mm compared with a normal A3 and 10 mm in relation to one who has the sport suspension option. Despite this, do not feel like a disk drive suspension, is softer than-for example-a Seat Leon Cupra.

    2008 Audi S3
    Audi S3

    This does not mean that the suspension is soft: the Audi S3 is not balanced and does not have much touch awkward at the entrance to the slow curves characteristic of some cars suspension soft. What we have achieved is an Audi car firm suspension that is not dry when it passes over small potholes that quickly shake the wheel.

    2008 Audi S3

    The major design changes are inlets in front of different shape and size, and in one piece in the rear bumper that resembles an extractor aerodynamic. There are other decorative details such as different door handles or a deck of aluminum in the rearview mirrors.

    There are eleven colors for the exterior body, one of them ("Solar Orange") for the exclusive Audi S3. It is an orange similar to the Focus ST, although less lively.

    2008 Audi S3 Engine

    The interior is distinguished by elements such as sports seats cloth and leather or aluminum pedals, there are also differences decorative. Interior, almost everything that seems aluminum is aluminum.

    Audi S3

    As there are six standard equipment airbags, stability control, climate control, xenon headlights, anti-theft alarm, tires, 18 "or a stopwatch with a lap time function (already available in the RS4). Optionally can have a Bose sound equipment , Auxiliary connection to the home stereo, DVD browser with MMI, reinstallation mobile phone, sports seats and alloy wheels of 20 ", among other things.

    Audi S3

    The seat is optional subject more than the number in the hip and lower back, but virtually the same in the dorsal area. The habitability is similar to the rest of the range.

    Audi S3

    In Audi S3, Audi has achieved a car that lets go slow road very quickly without being very demanding with whom it leads: responds quickly to the indications which give the steering wheel or pedals, falls well in curves and not Reactions have to make it an unsafe car. What we have is not touch them there in general there are some sports, but are less powerful as the Mazda MX-5, or more powerful than him, like a Porsche Cayman S.

    Audi S3

    It is a comfortable car for this is a sport version. The suspension has a very good absorption capacity but nor should we expect it to filter all kinds of irregularities without forwarding them to the occupants.

    Audi S3

    Comparatively, is softer than other similar cars, a BMW 130I or SEAT Leon Cupra, making it more suitable for use on a daily basis for all sorts of ways. A Ford Focus ST is slightly more comfortable.

    Audi S3

    In addition, Audi has managed to effectively contain the movements of the body, so that a car is not more awkward than the previous ones. The Audi S3 keeps the movement of the body to switch from supporting or when the strong braking is not completely straight; this effect also occurs in version 3.2 Quattro 250-hp, albeit more evident.

    Audi S3

    However, a BMW 130I and, above all, Leon Cupra can be more agile in a firm with smooth roads, at the expense of being more uncomfortable suspension. If the road is very Bach the Audi S3 goes better than the BMW (which has more difficulty in absorbing the irregularities).

    Audi S3

    Regardless of the state of asphalt, the Audi S3 is better than an Audi TT 2.0 TFSI with the standard suspension and exactly the same brand and extent of tyres (225/40 R18 Continental SportContact2).

    Audi S3

    The towing capacity falls short of the strength of the engine. The systems gives total traction advantage over a car front and rear traction when exiting a curve slow as quickly as possible. As in other cars with clutch Haldex, when cornering speeds beyond a certain limit reacts almost like car rear traction if the firm is very slippery. This is more palpable if the car is already unbalanced, for example, in the second around curves linked.

    Audi S3

    The brakes are notable for the limited distance to stop the car but, before demanding a deal, they lose effectiveness appreciably. As has happened when we've tested other TFSI engine variants of 2.0 litre engine capacity, we have measured the performance of Audi S3 are superior to what to expect of power approved by Audi.

    Audi S3

    We tried another car of similar power that has been faster. The BMW 130I and Z4 3.0si (both 265 hp) have been considerably slower, which also happens to the Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 (272 hp), or the Porsche Cayman (245 hp). A BMW 335i coupe (306 hp) or a Porsche Cayman S (295 hp) are slightly faster.

    Audi S3

    Recovering in fourth, fifth or sixth speed, the differences are even more increased volume, either by the advantage that gives the supercharged (for example, in the case of the Cayman S) or developments shorter. Of the sports that we have recently measured, only the BMW M6 is recovering better. The new Audi S3 also is faster and consumes less than the previous Audi S3, which had a 224 hp engine.

    Audi S3

    In highway, to an average of 133 kph spent 10.4 litres/100 km. There is a low value but for its power, can be considered good. In two-way road, circulating at a rapid pace, with plenty of traffic and using the maximum acceleration in overtaking, spent 12.1 litres/100 km.

    Audi S3

    The engine has a feel very similar to other variants of this engine. The worst thing is the lack of strength at very low system that makes it more uncomfortable than others when it comes to boot on a ramp.
