1995 Audi Cabriolet 2.6 review from UK and Ireland
"Beautiful tourer, more individual than a BMW 3 series"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag light kept staying on for longer than it should. Dealer reset the system, it's been fine since then.
Drivers door difficult to close. Dealer identified a hood alignment problem and made adjustments.
Top of rear window has started to frost a little, can't be helped, it's the way the roof sits when folded down. I can live with it as replacement is £230 plus fitting.
General comments?
The 2.6 V6 engine is super smooth and the automatic 4 speed gear box suits it well.
There is no sports mode, but I accidentally did 100 MPH in third gear before the rev limiter came in.
Performance is good for a car of this weight. Floor the accelerator and 60 mph seems comes up a lot quicker than the 9.5 seconds official figure and it's so effortless with the auto box.
The hood is very good for it's age. No leaks at all. There is some road noise from the rear around the hood base, but not too bad even at motorway speeds.
The build of the car is excellent throughout.
The car is beautiful to look at, hood up or down.
