  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.

  decent quality and great mileage - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By boatbum - March 2 - 12:23 pm

  Frankly I am a bit stumped by some of the other reviews. This little car is pretty sound and easy to maintain. Granted, if you try to take it to a shop that is now VW savvy, you might end up with a major headache. I recently replaced the waterpump - got quotes from $475 with timing belt replacement to $1400 for just the waterpump. Same with the brakes - Midas quoted $1200 but I got them done at a small local German imports shop for $250. Do your maintenance and the car is fine. It is fun to drive, fits me easily (I am 65) and it gets great gas mileage. I have owned alot of convertibles and this one is very practical and dependable if you maintain it.

  fun in the sun - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By Bob Patteet - February 5 - 10:00 am

  This car is fun - and - my wife loves to drive it because it is small and handy in tight spaces. The electric roof is a plus and everything is well designed and works perfect, we even like the German styling which is not too ascetic in the golf GLS. Mileage is good now that gas prices are climbing and since Volkswagen stopped the production of these cars we are going to drive with a collectible car soon...

  I dont reccommend - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By Barshney - August 18 - 2:00 am

  In less than 2 years both power windows have broken several times, and are very expensive to fix about 900 dollars per window. Warrantee is less than that of the other VWs. The airbag ingnitor broke right after 25000 miles and VW refused to fix it under the warrantee. That alone is nearly 800 dollars to fix. I dont suggest this car.

  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.

  AWESOME vehicle for price and safety. - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By darwinsti69 - September 3 - 9:31 pm

  The car is amazing, and as long as you keep all maintanance up, like all of us should, it will run forever!!! This was my dream car from 11th grade and I finally had a chance to get it and BAM!! Many hours of cruising at the beach, to Kentucy and on to Phillidelphia and back home to NC. Gas mileage was great! I would reccommend this vehicle over and over, just be aware, regular maintanence is important no matter what vehicle you own. You go to the Dr when you need a checkup, take your car regularly too:-)

  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/

  Awesome and Fun - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By Chaofee - April 17 - 10:00 am

  Great fun car to zip around town. Terrific VW stereo sounds with an easy to operate top! Car is solid for the price and drives like a German engineered car without the sticker shock!

  Loved this Car - 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio
  By clio30097 - August 9 - 3:20 am

  I loved this car until it hit 40,000 miles. Since then, its cost me around $200/month just to keep it on the road. No major mechanical problems, just things like air bags, lights, and now a problem with the window regulator -- the window wont go all the way down because, apparently, they dont make the regulators fit the window frame! Still, its a fun car to drive and Ill keep it as a second vehicle -- just have to buy one to drive while this ones in the shop.
