Toyota Prius vs Audi A3 Cabriolet

This is the new generation of the car that became famous by being the pet of Hollywood and the butt of most motoring jokes. And now, the Indian government has pulled a fast one on it too! This is the latest version of the Toyota Prius, a car that single-handedly put hybrids on the global map. Now hybrids are nicer to the environment compared to your regular petrol or diesel powered cars because these are more fuel-efficient. And therefore logic dictates that these should be made more accessible through tax rebates.

If the sight of a convertible ever tugged at your heart, then the Audi A3 Cabriolet is one that can easily lure you, especially in that lip-smacking shade Audi calls ‘Vegas Yellow’. And we can’t help but state that it was an attention grabber as long as it was in the hands of our testers. Regardless of age, everyone just dropped their jaws at the sight of this car, and it is this experience which makes up the A3 Cabriolet’s ultimate selling point.

It was roughly about seven years ago that I had a tryst with an Audi sports car which changed the course of my destiny. I had just completed my fifth semester of college and in that ‘make something out-of-myself- in- life’ mode I was interning with a publication. But it was not a newspaper or magazine and after two dull stints I had finally got the chance to train with an auto magazine (ironically called Automan) based out of Oman where my dad was working.
