The 1991 Volkswagen Cabriolet was powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that generated 94 hp. It was linked to a five-speed manual overdrive transmission, which was standard for all '91 Cabriolet trim packages. A three-speed automatic transmission was available as an option. The Cabriolet came with a cloth top and plastic rear window. Trim packages included the Base, Carat, and the Etienne Aigner package, which was new for 1991 and available only for the German market. Standard features for the Base model included a driver's-side airbag, power brakes, power windows, power heated mirrors, and a AM/FM/cassette stereo system. The Carat trim package added leather seats, among other options. Generally drivers considered the '91 Cabriolet a "fun" car to own and drive, probably largely because of that drop top, which was its big appeal. While the quality of the car was considered to be good by drivers, they did note that repairs can be expensive.

This is the most fun I have ever had in a car.
The little convertible is small but has
tremendous punch and power. Everything in the
car works as it was garaged and owned by only
one family. The performance in unbelievably, It
does need a new soft top and has a small dent on
left front fender. With the price of gas now -
are you kidding, this little beauty gets at
least 25 mpg in the city and 34 plus on the
highway. Apr 04, 2011

1991 VW Cabriolet automatic transmission
The car moves in reverse, but not drive ! It tries to move! Could it be possible it just needs the filter changed and new fluid? Fluid is full on dipstick ! Are the bands adjustable?

Automatic Transmission Shift Lever/Plunger Problem
The automatic transmission shift lever freezes in PARK.....you push in the plunger on the left of the knob/handle and it won't go in.....after some period of time it may release. Is this a common malady of the "91 Cabriolet? Any easy fix?
