Toyota Camry vs Audi A3 Cabriolet

The Toyota Camry Hybrid is a premium executive sedan priced at Rs 41.7 lakh (ex-showroom). As a result, it goes up against the Skoda Superb, and even ventures into the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes A-Class territory. Yes, this Toyota doesn’t have the same snob value, but remains one of the unique long three-box sedans with its own USPs, like hybrid power, focus on rear-seat comfort, etc. — all of which we will get to in a bit. Camry is Toyota’s only sedan in India and now gets cosmetic updates and new features in its eighth-gen avatar.

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.
