  Cruzin Cabrio - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By Kitty200 - February 25 - 10:00 am

  Good car that is fun to drive... so good features that are found in much more expensive convertables. VW service is very expensive.. get extended warranty just in case.

  Disappointed with overall quality - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By Eddie Serna - October 16 - 4:13 pm

  We purchased our VW Cabrio GLS new because of its styling and our impression that VW makes quality vehicles. I must admit that the car was involved in a rear-ender in which the front end of the VW took a good smack, but fortunately, it was all cosmetic. My wife is the main driver (and I play the mechanic) and loved her car for the first two years. Then glued on interior parts started coming off. At about 45,000 we lost the speedo and tach gauge ($900 to replace, cant be fixed). The convertible top no longer works ($810 for the motor), the power steering leaks badly, the engine sprays oil all over, and this car has been babied, TLCd, and garaged. $26,000 and you still get a stamped steel valve cover.

  Cutest Little Thing! - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By lovemycabrio8 - June 15 - 9:46 am

  Before I bought my 2000 Cabrio 4 years ago, I looked up consumer reviews and was horrified. Fortunately, I ignored the postings and went ahead and bought one. omg! The best thing I could have done! Not only do you get great gas mileage, it fits everywhere. The check engine light came on twice in 4 years and both times all I did was open the hood and take a look. The first time, a thick rubber tube got old and had a whole in it. Cost me $2.00 & 15 minutes to change. This last time, a small rubber tube disconnected. I put it in its place, and 15 miles later, check engine light turned off. Im a female musician, not a mechanic and I figured it out! Use common sense, and you will be just fine!

  best car ever - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By cabriogal71 - September 2 - 2:36 am

  I have had many cars, but my 2000 VW Cabrio is by far the best. I bought it new, in 2000, and it has over 120,000 miles on it. It still has a lot of get up and go. We have made sure it gets the suggested preventative maintenance when due. I hope to keep it forever.

  Not a bad car for the price - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By Angelina75 - June 24 - 2:00 am

  The Cabrio is one of the best deals you can get on a convertible. There are lots of things they could improve, but overall its a pretty good car. Its very solid; you dont feel like youre driving a tin can down the road. You get an okay amount of power in the manual transmission version, though this car could NEVER be classified as sporty. You can also fit in any parking space that exists.

  torn between love and hate - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By stace - June 12 - 2:00 am

  as soon as i got into my cabrio, i fell in love with it. unfortunately that quickly ended when my fuel pump relay system went two weeks after i bought the car (34000 mi on car). soon after i found out that my windows werent hitting the weather stripping, causing them to leak, which isnt covered under my 2yr factory warranty because it is an "adjustment." my front wheel tie rod went bad a few months ago, way before it should have. my window regulators are going bad as well. just yesterday my check engine light came on, so well see what kind of surprise i have in store next. its impractical for me to have my car in the shop 1-2 times/month.

  NHTSA investigation candidate - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By theaa - September 5 - 2:00 am

  Loved the car. Test drive was great. But out of the dealership problems started (the dealer being one of them) First, a bad rim. The same wheel goes flat 4 flat times.The dealer claims its not the rim - but the tier, the tier guys say exactly the opposite. Eventually, after 4 trips, the rim gets replaced, and didnt have a flat since. Then the seat warmer goes dead, buring the fuse. Dealer take 4 hours to figure that one out. Then, the last straw, the manual transmission gives while doing 65 on the highway - that was fun. if you had a similiar expirience feel free to report at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/

  Love it!!! - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By lilauggie4 - June 2 - 7:04 am

  I dont understand why people are writing such terrible reviews, you clearly didnt get the car checked before buying it. My 2000 Cabrio is a beautiful car. It runs well, looks nice, I havent had any problems yet. And ive had it for 5 months. It has a little over 109k miles. You guys just need to take better care of your car!! (Its not a manual though, im confused why I cant choose automatic.)

  Fun in the sun - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By Term - May 24 - 10:00 am

  Great little car, toss in a K&N air filter to give it back some of its missing power. Car handles like a dream. Im happy to own the GLS model instead of the lesser GL. The GL looks cheap IMO. Must be the rims. Power top on the GLS is nice also.

  Vanessa - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By sara - May 14 - 6:56 am

  My dad bought me this car off of ebay my senior year of high school! I love it its has broke down a few times. The only real problems ive had is the abkc seat is really small. and my distributor cap and rotor died. The mass airflow thing has been a problem too. My automatic top stopped working due to the hydraulic pistions brekaing down. But its at 104,000 and still running beautifully. I absolutely love my car. and its fast and samll so you can fit into any pakring spot
