Since noone else has answered this since Saturday, I'll give it a go. Am I the
only Cabrio-owner here?

I have never heard of any problems about this model. I did encounter a small
problem a couple weeks ago. The lid for the convertible top boot is
electronically operated. This lid willnot open when the trunk is not closed and
latched, they will interfere with eachother. Thsi is due to frost in the
microswitch in the trubnk latch. No biggie, just a bit of moisture.

Otherwise, this car is a plain Audi 80/90 on good and bad, it is a mix between
type 89 and B4. The drivetrain is the same as the 90 and 100, so you know what to
expect. The top is solid, tight and stiff, the car gains rigidity when the top is
up, and it is easy to operate. My car does not have the hydraulic top, but it
takes about 30 seconds to fold down and 15 seconds to close. The suspension is
the same as in the 2wd coupe.
