Overview
Reviews
Picture of 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet In 1998, the Volkswagen Cabriolet came in three trims -- Base, Bestseller, and Boutique. Though each was powered by the same 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder, 90-hp engine and 5-speed manual transmission, they differed in standard features offered. The two-door convertible Base featured cloth seats and a radio and not much else. Add-ons in the higher trims included cruise control, leather seats, and air conditioning, but the 1988 Cabriolet's trademark was not necessarily luxury as much as it was pure fun. 1988 Cabriolets seem to last forever, part of that durable German engineering, and most owners agree that they're fun to drive, not only because of the open top, but because of precise, spritely handling. They're great on the highway or just for making the scene around town, and the front-wheel drive is amazingly good on snow, owners say. The Cabriolet is easy to modify as well, so people today will often buy used ones to fix up. Parts can be scarce, say some owners, and repairs costly. A big problem with the convertible is leakage where the top meets the windows.

I enjoy my Cabriolet, I have had an 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V and now my Cabrio and despite the fact that I can pretty much any car I would want, I will never get rid of my volkswagen. Everyone should have the chance to drive one.

I love my Cabriolet! Great MPG, dependable, fun to drive and absolutely adorable! A real head turner that consistantly gets remarked, on. Parts are cheap if you put some time into the search for them. With routine maintenance, these cars seem to last forever!

This car will work as long as you need it to. It may be a little out of date but it will never quit on you.

bought one for my wife and this is probably the best purchase we have made. She drives this car rain or shine. Few minor problems but nothing major. Has rust and I am finding it hard to find a trunk lid to replace the rusty one on the car. also slight leak at doors when raining hard. Other than that it is a real head turner, people are always commenting on the cute car

I bought this car junior year of highschool and three years later I still love her. She's reliable but with that said there are some minor problems (what can you expect with a 24 year old car.) all my repairs could have been completely avoided if I would simply check the belts and hoses to make sure they look good. This car has been a perfect car for me especially considering my 300 mile a week commute with gas at $3.50. Its compact but im 6'2" and i am comfortable, back seat not so much. With the top down i can fit me, my girlfriend, and our surf boards so its a perfect ride for the beach. Would I buy another? In a heart beat. It's fun to work on and it's given me a chance to learn more about how autos operate.
