The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 2DR CABRIOLET 1.8 TFSI 160 EU5 S LINE STRON AUTO7 is a compact convertible: a two-door Audi A3 with a folding roof rather than a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it offers open-air motoring with a more upmarket feel than many mainstream small cabriolets. mycarcheck.com has recorded 51 look-ups across 22 VINs, giving a snapshot rather than a huge sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £4,400 and recorded mileage of 74,000 miles; typical annual use is 6,000 miles, with around 2.6 previous keepers. Use these only as a starting point. With S line styling, a 1.8-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission, it suits couples or commuters wanting a stylish weekend car, rather than buyers needing rear-seat space or practicality. It brings Audi’s cabin and polished feel to open-top driving, competing for buyers with convertibles such as the BMW 1 Series Convertible.
