For 2002, its final model year, the Volkswagen Cabrio received only a few minor upgrades, such as the addition of the Reflex Silver exterior color scheme, which was combined with a gray top and a matching gray interior. Other than that, the only other news was an improved four-year, 50,000-mile warranty (up from two years/24,000 miles) and a five-year, 60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
Other than that, the Cabrio was still available in three trim packages --- the entry-level GL, the mid-level GLS and the high-end GLX --- all powered by a 2.0-liter, 115-hp engine linked to a five-speed manual overdrive transmission. A four-speed automatic transmission was available as an option for all three packages.
Standard features for the GL package included air conditioning, power door locks, anti-lock brakes, a manually operated drop top, an AM/FM/cassette stereo system, daytime running lights, and front and side airbags. The GLS added power windows, cruise control, and heated seats, while the top-of-the-line GLX added a power convertible top, leather seats, foglights, and new 14-inch wheels.
For the most part, drivers were pleased with their Cabrios, which they thought were fun, sporty, economical, and easy to handle in all kinds of situations. But lingering quality issues plagued the car, according to some drivers, who also complained about high maintenance costs.

(16 reviews)I love my Cabrio! It gets great gas mileage and it's adorable - what more could you want?
Old reliable 2.0 lts engine . Great styling , good quality assemble, average handling , average cost of ownership , expensive labor, hard to find spares, fun car to drive in summer, leaks between roof and windows, easy to use top configuration , manually take 3 min to open top
This car has great acceleration, very quick and handles well. Only reason for selling was it was difficult to put my grand children in and out of car seats. Parking couldn't have been easier, it was a dream to park. Brakes and handling were very good. It is a fun car to drive.
Only problem I've ever had with my car was the roof splitting in the back. My acceleration is great when im shifting sloothly, its sound free...nothing clangs or rattles. the milage is fantastic! I had to replace spark plugs as well. other than that, i love my baby. Its a blast to drive!
Fun and inexpensive runabout. Classic styling that never gets old.
