2001 Volkswagen Cabrio

Pros: Adorable. Stylish. Cute. This is a really fun car to drive.
Cons: Too many mechanical, electrical issues. Repairs are expensive.

I had wanted one of these cars for a long time. I bought mine a year ago and almost (just almost) wish I didn't. I love driving it but nearly every week something else goes wrong.

I've had to have the top replaced because the rear defrost broke.

My radio turned itself off one day and wouldn't come back on. I had to retrieve a special code apparently to deactivate a security system that is supposed to prevent thieves from using it but it prevented me from using it. I have a new warning light come on frequently, but then they go off. I'm not sure if it's just the faulty cluster (the electronics component that talks the car and eventually the mechanic, I'm told) or if there really is something wrong with my engine or my ABS system or whatever other light is on for the day.

But.....even with all of the problems I don't yet regret my purchase and I haven't even thought about getting a new car. I really do love it. Well we have a love hate relationship anyway.

Pros: perfect for any women 5'5" or shorter
Cons: not worth the money or hassle, unless you like to play Russian Roulette.

This car is the empitamy of problems. Do not buy one just cause its cute!

The day I drove it off lot I should have left it there. Already sputtering and engine failed.

They said it just need to be tuned up! Supposedly fixed the problem and I still took it home. Dumb move.

Problem after repeating problem.

Best part is VW wont help but take my money from my wallet.

Over 800 problems in the electrical system, your check engine light will come on for!

German car made in Mexico...says it all!!

Pros: Very safty oriented car, lots of options that are easy to use.
Cons: You can't lock the doors without setting the intergrated alarm system!

This is an awsome litte car. My wife wanted something with better gas mileage and found it in the Cabrio. It is 100% girly car!!! Everything is very easy to use from the top to the cd changer. Here in Ohio the winter options are quite welcome, the heated leather seats and the insulated top along with the heated side view mirrors. The traction in the snow is outstanding, with 4 wheel disc anti-lock breaks. She has been getting 26-30 MPG just running around and 35+ on the interstate. With the 115hp 4 banger its not the quickest thing on the road, but, it will get up and move out once you get to 50. I am 5'10" and 250lbs and have plenty of room in this litle girlie car!!!
