FAQs

The Volkswagen Cabriolet is a fun, cheap, but not particularly quick, convertible with a ton of potential.

The Volkswagen Cabriolet is often maligned as a “cheerleader’s car.” Cheerleaders must know a lot more about cars than the general public because these lightweight little convertibles are about the most fun you can have in the moderately-priced subcompact-car segment. VW had a reputation for building solid cabriolets from the time of the Beetle, and this car was a good extension of that history. Nimble, well-built, open-air cruising isn’t something 1987 was known for until this car came along.

I have had the car for three years now and it has been the best investment I've made in a long time. Very dependable and fun to drive, great gas mileage and a real head turner! This auto is a keeper.

Very durable car that i would like to keep forever. With 300K miles on it still runs strong, solid body and suspension, 25-30 mpg. A true classic car in the making just like the iconic VW Beetle. An outstanding testament to German engineering.

31 mpg overall, quick and nimble, cruises at 75 - 80 on the freeway. Fun for weekend road trips.

good acceleration, not so good brakes, handling could be better, roof rattles in bad quality roads... does not need too much money to maintenance because its an old car and it parts is very cheap! I run it on TNG so I get great mileage, dont known how many exactly. great fun on summer.

So solid. Everything on this car was mint and tight. Good on gas. Handled amazingly. Nothing beats leaving work, popping the top down and hitting the highway for some all natural air conditioning :D I bought this car off a dealer my Dad knows and it was a one owner! The roof was 'triple layer' and was just as warm inside as a regular car. If you ever get a Cabriolet, look for this type of top!
