risk because of their lack of knowledge and understanding about changing a wheel on their car. Only 8% of those surveyed felt com­ fortable with being able to change a wheel without assistance, while more than half of the women drivers said that they would feel vulnerable if stranded by a flat tyre on a deserted country road or motorway. More and more women are driving alone

these days, due to the fact that they are tend­ ing to stay single for longer and that the divorce rate continues to increase. This and a number of other factors has meant that the number of female drivers has continued to grow. Many women in breakdown situations, however, do the sensible thing and stay in their car, lock the doors and use their mobiles to call out one of the many roadside assis­ tance services.


spend behind the wheel of our cars. The sur­ vey showed that those aged between 25 and 54 spent 64 minutes of every day in their cars, whereas those aged between 16 and 19 only spent 25 minutes a day driving. As you would expect, once past 55 the amount of time spent driving begins to reduce significantly, although those over 65 still manage to find time for 40 minutes of motoring each day. •N A FIREMAN from Houston was called to assist at a road accident and help two

number of changes that make the car better to drive, spiking the guns of rivals who lined up to denigrate the old Audi’s rather stodgy road man­ ners.


The combination of great engines,


better driving characteristics and unfussy but sleek styling looks set to restore the Audi Cabriolet to its rightful position. At a glance, you can see why. In a


class full of particularly pretty cars, this one stands out, even against drop-top versions of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes CLK. And with competitive pricing counting in the Audi’s favour, the A4 looks set to continually reprise the sales success of its predecessor. The single-frame grille and sculpted headlamps will be the thing most will spot, but a subtle redesign of the rear lights and updated alloy wheel designs are also part of the latest soft-top A4’s arsenal. Yes, the Audi continues -with a soft

top, arguing that the engineering compromises required to fit a folding hard top force designers into all sorts of other knock-on issues regarding weight and packaging. This electro-hydraulically operat­


ed hood features a heated glass win­ dow and there is even an option of a special acoustic hood -with fabrics of greater density to further insulate the driver from wind noise. Audi insiders claim it makes the Cabriolet ■virtually as quiet as saloon versions. The I.8-litre turbo-charged four-


cylinder engine will be familiar to existing A4 Cabriolet buyers, its 163 b.h.p. output marking the entry-level point in this range. There is a big step up to the next


model in the line up, which uses the same 197 b.h.p. 2.0'T FSI engine as the Golf GTI. The other engines available are also new to the A4 Cabriolet, although Audi spotters will have seen them in other models. The 3.2-litre V6 FSi is good for 252

characteristics that make today’s premium diesels such an impressive package. The ability to hit 60 m.p.h. in 7.4 seconds, coupled with the abil­ ity to average over 36 m.p.g. is an impressive combination. This is a car that offers a refined


blend of qualities and fully justifies its position at the top of the convert­ ible tree.
