German manufacturer Audi currently offers convertible versions of its A3 and A5 model lines, but before they arrived, we were treated to a convertible version of the Audi A4. The first generation was sold here from 2003 to 2006, while the second-gen car was offered from 2007 to 2009. We could equip them with a turbocharged, 2.0-litre four (211 hp in 2009) or a 3.2-litre V6 (265 hp in 2009). Harder to find, but more potent, is the S4 Cabriolet that boasts a 4.2-litre V8 (340 hp in 2009) and even an available manual transmission.
Price range on the used-car market (summer 2018): $5,000 to $20,000
