Had a great experience with this Audi A3 Convertible. The car was clean, well taken care of, and drove really well. The best part was definitely being able to put the top down and enjoy the nice weather, but then easily close it back up when it got too hot or windy. It was nice having that flexibility depending on the day. The car was comfortable, fun to drive, and had plenty of power while still being good on gas.

Would definitely rent it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun convertible to cruise around in.
