A good friend of mine at work is wanting to get rid of her Mercedes SLK. She still wants a convertible (could be a soft top though), she wants a diesel this time around for better fuel economy, the car needs to be about the same size (an A5 would be too big), it needs to be automatic and finally (and this is where I'm stuck), it needs to be a quattro / 4 wheel drive.

One other thing...she doesn't want a classic 4X4 shape / style if possible.

There are various reasons for all her choices, some are style driven and some are a consequence of being stuck on her drive for a number of days last winter.

I have an A3 diesel quattro but you cannot get that in automatic guise unless you go for FWD only.

Interested to hear if anyone knows of such a car that ticks all these boxes.

Thanks
