The Audi 80-based Cabriolet is a solid, luxury sport convertible. Slightly under-powered for the weight with a sluggish transmission. However, it shines in comfort and still turns heads at 24-years old. As a retirement second car, it's just fine. Mine has the winter package, and it's needed when driving year-round in Iowa. With purchase price and maintenance included, it has cost less than $2,000 per year over my 10 years of ownership. And, that includes a recent purchase of a parts car plus a trip to the body shop for some cosmetic work. Market valuation has stayed in the basement for years, making it easy to send damaged cars to the crusher. As the car becomes rarer, the valuation is slowly increasing. I sold my Audi with 124,400 miles on it. The frequency and cost of repairs became more than my budget would allow. My advice to anyone looking to buy an early cabriolet is to find the cleanest, best maintained car possible. Repairs will be inevitable, so minimize your risk and enjoy the car for what it is.

This Audi Cabriolet is the most solid convertible at ten years old. We fell in love with the new Audi Cabriolet, but as a third car it was not affordable for us. The first generation of the Cab is an excellent alternative. We also own a 2004 Audi A4 Avant, and people think we have two new Audis.

As third owner with 108k this vehicle has really impressed me. Vvery soild and responsive handling. Had it up to 150 kilometers an hour. No vibrations and quiet with top down. Vehicle was painted last year and every nec part was taken off, no rust anywhere. Replaced back window, would be great if it were glass. Original top is excellent. Will park this baby for the winter.

I've had a green one since 1996, bought it new. In 108,000 miles it's had every maintenance. Replaced the worn top cloth twice now just for appearance, it has never, ever leaked. No really big repairs under the hood, though. Fan motor resistor recently replaced as well as other small items, switch. I think the elegant, block of steel design inside and out will age well. I have thoroughly enjoyed it in the South. I'd heartily recommend such a classi look and smooth performer. The reason it feels underpowered is that it weighs nearly 4,000 pounds. It's not gotten a good reputation and sales were never brisk. It's really a super, solid car.
4 seater way ahead of its time!

This vehicle's only drawback is its limited leg room for me. Other than that, try cruising over the pass in winter with the heated seats, heater blasting and top down while the windscreen diverts that annoying covertible back breeze that would otherwise chll you to the bone. It is quiet enough to carry on a normal conversation too. All you need is a jacket, gloves and a ballcap. Pretty good mileage, 27mpg avg at 75mph to the Bay Area with the top down the whole way. Even in a light rain, it was OK just blowing over the top. A blast! It responds like a dream and has more than enough power, roadhandling and braking to satisfy the most discriminating.
