2009 Audi A4 2-door 2.0T Cabriolet Convertible

The interior of the A4 Cabriolet looks upscale and cleverly incorporates design cues from the exterior, like the shape of the trapezoidal grille duplicated in the airbag cover on the steering wheel. Aluminum vent surrounds have become a hallmark of Audi interiors and they are indeed present on the A4 Cabriolet. A standard aluminum accent extends across the dash and back along the door panels, giving the interior a contemporary look. The interior trim is also available in upscale birch, walnut or brushed aluminum. New for 2009 is an available Wine Red leather interior. Seating for four is comfortable both front and back, with reasonable legroom; however, shoulder room in the rear seats can be a little snug.

There's no mistaking the 2009 A4 Cabriolet for anything other than an Audi. The super-sized grille that's become a fixture throughout the rest of the Audi family is present on the convertible A4. The headlamps and taillights look modern and elegant while bold fender flares add a sporty feel, especially when filled with the V6 model's 18-inch wheel and tire package. With the convertible top down and tucked underneath the integrated tonneau cover, the Cabriolet looks sleek and clean. Contributing to the uncluttered exterior is the use of a plastic trunk lid that allows the GPS, satellite and AM/FM antenna system to be completely hidden from view. An especially nice detail is the use of real aluminum for the windshield surround and body trim.

Notable Optional Equipment

The A4 Cabriolet comes with an extensive list of standard equipment. All Cabriolets include a power retractable top, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-speaker audio system with in-dash six-disc MP3 compatibility, Bluetooth cell phone connectivity, power one-touch windows, speed control, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, an integrated ski sack and headlamp washer system. Standard safety equipment includes anti-lock brakes (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), driver and passenger front- and seat-mounted airbags and active rollover protection system.

Audi offers an array of optional upgrades for the A4 Cabriolet. The Premium package adds the highly effective wind deflector, leather seating surfaces, 17-inch wheels and 12-way power front seats. Other options include a DVD navigation, bi-xenon headlamps, adaptive front lighting system, Homelink universal garage door opener, light and rain sensor for headlamps and wipers, Bose premium sound, auto-dimming exterior and interior mirrors and heated front and rear seats.

Audi's FSI direct-injection gasoline engines have been well received. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder offers good power and fuel economy while the V6 bumps up the power without a huge reduction in miles per gallon. Opting for quattro all-wheel drive helps transform the Cabriolet into a car for all seasons.
