1992 Volkswagen Cabriolet Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
For 1992, the Volkswagen Cabriolet was powered by a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine that generated 94 hp. It was linked to a five-speed manual overdrive transmission, which was standard; a three-speed automatic was available as an option.
New for 1992 were three-point seat belts added to the back seat, and full wheel covers for the Base (Standard) model. Other standard features included a driver's-side front airbag, power steering, power brakes, power windows, and an AM/FM/cassette player. Air conditioning was available as an option for the Base model as well as for the other trim packages, the Carat and the new Wolfsburg Classic Convertible.
Drivers note that the Cabriolet handles the road well, and that with routine maintenance the car can have a long life. One driver was enamored with the car's styling, particularly with the top down. The collectible aspect of the car has also been noted by a number of drivers.

I loved my VW because it got great gas mileage, it was sporty and small so it hugged the curves in Colorado well and it had great get up and go for a four cylinder. I love German engineering and you can't get much better performance or horse power from and eight valve engine. Plus the added enjoyment of a convertible top on the highway or around town never hurts. I would recommend this car to anyone who enjoys driving on mountain passes for the best gas mileage possible in a gasoline powered engine and a little touch of unique styling for a relatively affordable price.Jun 26, 2008

How do I get my seat to fold down
Back seat was folded down and now the rear seat belts are stuck around the peg for the seat. I can't fold the seat down because the seat belt is stuck around the post.

i cannot get my power windows to go down,
I cannot get both the driver side and passenger side power windows to work. the motors work and the switches work but there must be a relay somewhere that is broken but i cannot find it anywhere and the dealer does not even know.
