Does anyone know where to find a pic of a red A3 cab with S Line spec and the RS4 wheels? The Audi site doesn't work properly, suprise suprise!

With the RS4 wheels on, and the S Line trim, its meant to look the dogs danglies!

I can't see how the chassis "is the same" as the GTI when surely it will have extra stengthening to cope with choping the roof off.
Sure that must introduce a few changes to combat the chassis twist without the roof reinforcing it.

I'd agree with the strenghtening part, but from the salesman and from the brochures I have of the GTI and the A3, it has 2578mm wheelbase, which is exactly the same as the GTI.

....Who knows? (certainly not any VW salesman!). Perhaps the GTI chassis is so strong it didn't need changing. Or perhaps VAG wanted to save money (less likely). The GTI is known to have an excellent chassis.

Personally, I just don't like any Cabs and I don't much like the look of the A3's anyway. I like hardtop Coupes though :cool:.

Women love convertables regardless of what make it is or whos driving it. Its just something thats imbedded in their DNA. Personally, my driving comfort and taste comes before a womens idea of a nice car  :wink:
