Women's car website chooses Audi A3 as Car of the Year

23/08/2008 02:30. A women's car website has voted the Audi A3 Cabriolet as its Car of the Year, topping the shortlist of 27 cars across eight categories.

Alex Jenner-Fust, the editor of evecars.com, commented: "The Audi A3 won over all the judges with its impressive combination of talents. It looks great: it's neither too feminine nor flashy, but classy and well styled.

Jenner-Fust was present on a six-strong panel of judges, including Eve magazine deputy editor Rachael Ashley, Vicky Parrott from Autocar magazine, Eve publisher Jessica Gibson, Eve reader... // totallymotor.co.uk
