Hello together I’ve been playing for some time with the idea that I would like to buy a cheap (calculated to the highest 5000 Euro) convertible as a second car, and in this price class the Audi Cabrio seems to me the best choice. In addition, it should also bring a bit of driving performance as a fun car, which is why I want the 2.8 E V6, although I am actually a 5-cylinder fan as a Volvo driver. I know the 2.8 E well; I once had a 92 Audi 100 Avant 2.8 E, which I bought with 100’000 km and with 185’000 km. I was very satisfied with the car, even if there were repairs (end cable, Lambda probe, servo and various little things) and some things have broken down a bit (lenkrad not adjustable, oil consumption, lottery gearbox, very soft suspension, too strong servo support, rather heavy light). Nevertheless, it was a good car and I can easily imagine driving an Audi again. Now to my questions: Are the negative points that I have to vo I thought the driver airbag was standard, and I have already seen used cars, where a driver airbag should be installed, but there was no indication on the steering wheel; in general, the chuck of the three-spoke steering wheel looks too small, as if there was an airbag space. Is the manual cover easy to operate? I would e drive the car only in summer; maybe 10’000 km per year. Can I just leave the car through the winter and assume that it will easily run again in spring (possibly after charging the battery)? Can you stretch the normal maintenance interval to save costs and allow the maintenance to be carried out less often? Apart from the oil change, I mean. The plastic strips at the bottom of the door often seem to be located at the end points, at least I have in a thread ( http://www.motor-talk.de/t1392665/f158/s/thread.html ) and even seen this on a used car. Is this a common problem or rather the exception? Can I expect significantly better driving performance from 2.8 E despite the much higher weight than from 2.3 E? Do the 2.3 E sound like 5 cylinders under load?
