The new Audi A3 cabriolet, playing the game a little differently.

- Raunak Ajinkya 

The Non Conformist

It seems to me that all drop-top stories have more or less the same theme. There’s the standard, clichéd ‘wind-in-the-hair’ comment that you’ll find in write-ups that’s as common to find as the word ‘soul’ in a write-up about a Ferrari. Then, you’ll invariably find some reference to ‘unlimited headroom’, and an inconclusive yet believable ending that goads you into considering the machine despite its heady price-tag, because of its ‘unrivalled sense of freedom’.

I get it. It’s hard to think along dissimilar lines, but the thing with the Audi A3 is that it helps you do just that, and it has this one particular aspect of it that, thankfully enough, Audi hasn’t omitted with the revised A3 Cabriolet. I’ll touch upon that later, but for now what you should know is that the new A3 Cabrio isn’t revolutionary in anyway. It’s simply an evolution of a game that Audi had already been playing really rather well.
