New A4 Convertible?
 

Who here has owned an A4 Convertible?
Any problems? Anything to watch out for?
How comfortable for 4 full sized adults?

Thanks

Well, it *is* a 4 series, after all. So define "comfortably"...

Apparently you mean in the US market? After all, S4 Convertible is
already available in the Europe (and has been for a while).

again, another car across the pond that will take years to get here or never
come. how does it compare to the M3 conv.??

THE CAR IS HERE (in the US)!!! it has been here for almost 2 months.
It runs around $58K and is awesome.
Haven't driven the M3 Cab so I can't compare.

Just read an article in a Brit mag saying that the S4 dives under breaking
because the weight balance of the car has been disturbed by the heavier V8
up front. They didn't like it.

Yup - I just looked at Audi USA web site, and they have the S4 Cab - It
says it starts at $54.5k. Interesting. I might be interested in an S4
Coupe... Wonder if THAT is going to be...

But I am sticking with my MY2000 S4 for at least a few more years
