Audi A3 2.0 TDI

Audi's A3 Cabriolet becam a much more desirable thing in its second generation guise and it's been usefully further improved in the facelifted form we look at here. All the Audi attributes you're used to - cool design, fantastic build quality, engine efficiency and strong residual values - are matched to sleek looks delivering that 'want one' factor. You can't really ask for much more from a compact convertible.

The only diesel option at launch is the latest incarnation of the otherwise well proven 2.0-litre TDI, producing 150bhp and 236lb ft while promising 67.3mpg combined and 110g/km of CO2. It delivers decent, flexible performance (the 0-62mph sprint is dealt with in 8.9sec).
