1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet User Reviews

Great! — Parking in tight spots? You can park this car where no man has parked before! The handling is great. Appearance seems to hold up well after all these years (exterior/interior). Just a very enjoyable car to drive. First when purchased, notifed blind spot when top was up. But with any new car, got use to it.

Primary Use: Family transportation

My Car — my catylitic converter is rumbling and makes a rattling noise during acceleration, my clutch slips and it whines in reverse. i paid 1500 for the car( a jip i know) and 1700 in repairs. its a convertible that has a little torque to it, looks like a new car now that ive buffed it, going to run strong once i get the clutch in, all in all, i hate car repairs and costs in general, but on the distant bright side, they're alot of fun:)

Golf Clipper — All in all just a real head turner of a car, classic vw golf, lots of mk1 appreciation clubs out there. This has been an all time favourite vehicle of mine through my childhood years, and now i own one.

Good German Car. —

IF you know German engineering, then you know that Volkswagen is nothing but good old fashioned German fun. Yes it takes a little getting used to the way things work and feel but once you meld with this little convertible the miles are fast and fun. Professor Porsche had a hand in development at VW. and it shows. The car is quick for having only 94 hp. It will accelerate with easy anticipation and is nimble and maneuverable at all speeds. And at 25 to 30 miles per gallon, Fahrvergnügen is the best way to describe it, It's simple driving pleasure. It's not designed for big Americans though. The cabin width is a bit tiny and the leg room isn't really designed for more than two people over 6 feet. (the back seat tends to be a little crowded with the front seats all the way back. Foot peddles are close together like most small euro cars. But for the average sized family (Mom, Dad, two kids) it's a fun and hard working machine. Parts are a bit costly and knowing a competent mechanic is a must. Other than that, regular oil changes and maintenance will provide thousands of miles of carefree enthusiastic fun.
