Audi A3 cabriolet vs BMW 1-series cabriolet
UK motoring magazine Autocar has released a video of a short comparison test between two of the newest entrants in the world of premium compact convertibles - the Audi A3 cabriolet and BMW 1-series convertible.
The all-new Audi A3 cabriolet went on sale in Europe earlier this year and is based on the A3 hatchback and features a lightweight fabric roof that can be opened hydraulically in just nine seconds. The design and shape of the car is very 'coupe-like' as opposed to the hatch which it is based on. (see more here).
The BMW 1-series has been on the market for a few years now and it was only late last year that the German car maker released a cabriolet version of the car after a hard-top coupe version was unveiled. (See more here).
In this video, the A3 cabriolet fitted with a 147 kW (200 hp) 2.0-litre TFSI unit goes up against the BMW 125i, which packs a 160 kW (218 hp) 3.0-litre straight six. Watch the video to see who comes out on top!
