  • I love this car - 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio

    This car is the best. When I test drove it, I knew it was going to be the one. Its a small compact car perfect for zooming in and out of traffic and getting where you need to go.

  • Dont do it - 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio
    By -

    Got this car because its what I had wanted for some time; what a joke. With my foot flooring the gas pedal, it took a few seconds to pick up speed. I was getting in the way of the other drivers. Granted I hadnt test driven the car before buying it, so I do blame myself for getting saddled with a cheaply built, sluggish, low performance vehicle. It freely swayed from side-to-side with the wind and rattled over every bump in its path. I hated it after 2 days, within two months it was history. Now Im riding in a Benz and have that "new car feeling." An important factor missing when driving the Cabrio.

    Not the car I wanted, but I was going to get a convertible or use a bicycle! Didnt even look at it until I realized I couldnt afford any of my first 10 choices and thought I might have to get a Miata! Then I found out they had a model with automatic top. Some small design annoyances and it isnt a sportscar, but I knew that when I bought it. It is inexpensive to own, has lots of safety features and the top comes down so I am not complaining.

    VW sells a vehicle equal in quality to much more expensive vehicles. I traded a 2001 Mercedes C240 for the Cabrio and like it much better. It doesnt have all the extra features but the acceleration is better and its alot more fun.

  • My Cabbie loves my mechanic! - 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio
    By -

    I love my Cabbie and she loves my private Mechanic. I will never trust a VW Dealer for the rest of my life and this will surely be the LAST VW I own. My Mechanic keeps her running. One door lock, two door handles, wheel bearings, vacuum pump, muffler, interior trunk release (VW permanently ruined this)and a dead radio. Did I mention she has 134,000 miles and keeps on running? She costs me quite a bit and I am thankful I have a good salary! Not looking forward to trading her in someday as she is a hoot to drive. "Baby Baby" hopefully will make it to 200,000 miles or by some miracle 250,000 miles. Caution: VW Cabrio....lovely to behold, lovely to drive but not lovely to maintain.

  • Shockingly Terrible - 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio
    By -

    Wow, where does one begin with a car as sub-par as this one? I have had this car for 4 1/2 years and only put 37,800 miles on it within that time AND STILL it is plagued with problems. From the electrical malfunctions, to the muffler falling off, to the interior coming apart, the transmission being completely worthless, the check engine light being perpetually on, serpentine belt being replaced, new tires, new battery, new air filters, CO2 something-or-other for my gas tank ... and on and on it goes. I am on a first name basis with my VW dealer (funny but also sad) because I am there literally, every month and I cant wait to dump this piece of junk that or drive it off a cliff.

    The cabrio is such a fun car and I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time while still being a little practical! Monsoon stereo sounds amazing. People are constantly asking me about my car and once your a cabrio owner, its like youve joined a family. When someone else in a cabrio passes you, they always smile. (only they know how much fun it is) The cabrio is definitely the best kept secret in the affordable convertible market, as none of its competitors can live up to it. No other convertiblecan match its combination of safety (side airbags), practicality and fun. I love my car!

    I have had my royal blue vw for a little over a year now and I love it! we like going to the fla keys, miami beach, everglades,etc: anywhere you can put the top down and have fun! i have only two complaints: theres no where really to put a beverage unless your drink is in a dixie cup. and the vinyl on the door handles always peels off (i have had them replaced twice in 14 months. other than that, i love my little vw! and when the lease is up, i plan to keep her!

    What an awesome little car! This baby is lots of fun, great to drive and eye- catching cute! If you want one, get it now, because this is your last chance (its being discontinued in favor of a beetle convertible)!

    This car is pure fun combined with VW reliability. The electric top allows me to put the top up or down at a stop light allowing incredible flexibility. Ive also driven it on slippery roads up to ski. It performed without any trouble with only ugraded radials on the front. The heated seats are also a welcome treat on cold mornings.
