Hello together, I’m just about to decide for one of the models mentioned. I know it’s 3 different concepts, compact fabric roof, mid-range roof, roadster. I like the three of them all very well and in price they play in more or less the same league. Incl. special equipment they are all with a BLP of 60-65K. Since the S3 convertible is not yet bookable for a test drive I have tested the 1.8 TFSI. Boxster and 435i as well. what would you decide? Here are my pros and cons: S3 convertible: + everyday use + price/conditions + interior design and processing + powerful engine – the fact that it is actually “only” an A3 – emotionless exterior design, reminds me very much of the sterile VW design language… Eos, Golf Cabrio 435i convertible: + interior size – also suitable for 4 + exterior design + row-six o price/conditions – interior does not quite meet the premium requirement – too much resembles the 1er, 2er, 3er Porsche Boxster: + fantastic design inside as well as outside + driving characteristics, handling + exclusivity – does not stand at every corner + relatively small loss of value o everyday suitability quite available, however no comparison to the S3 and 435i – conditions/price – running costs
