I personally prefer the traditional canvas tops but with a significant caveat. The charm (hearing rain drops on a well insulated canvas top as an example), inherent savings in weight, and appearance tip the favour towards canvas - only if it is a second car here in the snowy east coast. Maintaining a canvas top with salt thrown into the equation is only something a detailing nut would enjoy. The security factor of a hardtop is something I have not encountered thus far either with my vehicle, but I believe is the strongest argument for a hardtop.

I prefer the rag top anytime. I love the traditional look of a rag top. It looks twice as nice with the top up than the weird looking long trunk hard top convertibles. In fact it looks more beautiful with the rag top up than when it is down.

I have always considered this car to be a German take on the American muscle cars. It even looks like a muscle car, seriously. Look at it from the side, and then look at the new Camaro and the Mustang from the side. All three have very similar lines and characteristics. I just wish it had horsepower like the $55,000 Camaro Zl1, or even the $60,000 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, while the RS5 has less than the Americans with a price tag of $80,000. Still love the Audi RS5, wonderful, beautiful car.

Yep, Cloth Tops are the way to go in 4-Door convertibles ... As long as there's a compartment it folds on to ... The exposed ones look cheap... Nice color & that exhaust !!! Oh my ... Btw, love the editing M

I feel Folding canvas convertible are lighter also if you buy a convertible its for the top down and the sun in our face.but the hard top convertible look good on some cars.this Audi looks good the way is. In my opinion.

Can I get it in Plum Crazy Purple? Actually I saw one of these cars on my way to work today, a coupe in the same Nardo Grey. And there is something clearly unicorn-like about these cars. You can't help but wonder if the guy driving it is a genius or he bought an 89' Indy 500 Firebird. The sight of this car did make me ask a question that might interest you. Is it our fault, as Americans, that the Germans make cars like this? I live in Atlanta, and our streets are full of A5's, 991's, and 6 Series. You can't help but notice the increased size, weight, and power output of cars from the German big four (BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, & Audi) is almost perfectly proportional to the success of those makes in America over the last 30 years. For crying out loud, the A4, 3 Series, and 911 aren't really even in the same car segments they were in 30 years ago! So what do you say MotoMan? Did we make the Kraut Rockers fat?

that sound though... worth it.same reason i will never give up my M3 coupe 4.0 for a new I6 M4 coupe. V8 all the way

@shugthehornyhaggis 9 жыл бұрын

its sad there is not as many in the range now but id need to disagree with the V8 and say the inline strate 6 of later days of bmw sound far better smooth and precise tight sounding rather than the sound of an american v8 that sounds like the pistons are trying to fight with each other

@coureurdebois 9 жыл бұрын

Gavin Irvine no way the 4.0 sounds nothing like an american V8. its high strung, a symphony when you change gears, and it winds out so high and revs freely i love it. i just cant see the turbo I6 being "funner" the large push of torque will get old... the fun nature of a naturally aspirated high revving german v8 never gets old :D

@shugthehornyhaggis 9 жыл бұрын

justin bouche dude i never said it does hence why i said american V8's i should have clarified european v8's to me sound much better tighter cleaner more precise sounding and considerably higher revving but i still prefer the sound of the bmw straight 6..... if i you want to know my favorite of all cars sounds and you will detest it im sure is the 4 cylinder air cooled boxxer of the type one strangly that sounds as lose as a bag of farts

@shugthehornyhaggis 9 жыл бұрын

ha im an idiot ok yeah i should look the video rather than just replying to your comment yo already meant a euro V8 still i prefer the sound of a strate 6 though

@coureurdebois 9 жыл бұрын

Gavin Irvine :) those boxxet 4 cyl are not bad sounding at all. compared to most 4 CYL's its got a unique sound very deep / masculine sound. just for me nothing beats a high revving V8 458's V8 is sexy the 4.0 in my BMW, and the audi V8 in the audi R8 is so understated! love them all though.

I quit watching at 5:35. The background sounds (the engine in this very case) is too loud with respect to the volume of the narrator's voice. Irritating. Sorry guys. Also, the volume of the voice itself fluctuates too much. In every video. MotoManTV has a challenge with sounds, that has become clear to me.
