1996 Volkswagen Cabrio 2 Dr STD Convertible
Review
I got this car for my daughter. It drives great, is very safe, and is easy to work on. The top goes up and down easy (manual). Its auto transmission is OK, but not very fast off the line. It is comfy to drive and not too noisy around town.
Favorite Features
I like this car's good handling and good fuel economy when driven at the speed limit.
Suggested Improvements
The cup holders are a joke. Why doesn't it have a glove compartment?

I love my Volkswagen Cabrio! It is so fun to drive! I get 32 miles per gallon with my 5 speed transmission. It is an awesome beach car!
Favorite Features
I love the huge trunk, great gas mileage, and how this car is wicked fun to drive! I also love the fact that all the windows can go up or down with the turn of a key in the door lock!
Suggested Improvements
The cup holders are only big enough for soda cans and there is a right rear blind spot when the top is up.

Review
I can not believe that VW stopped building these cars. One can only hope that they are simply indulging in a marketing ploy and we will see these cars rolling off the line soon.
Favorite Features
Zippy feel on the road. Ease of lowering top. Comfort is vastly improved over the older models.
Suggested Improvements
More console space. It needs cup holders that can actually hold coffie cups.

Review
I bought my VW 2 years ago, in perfect condition. No major problems so far, I just had to replace the coolant system ($500). The main problem is the leather interior which starts to be really old. The leather is really scratched and doesn't stick anymore to the seats/doors. So it looks really bad, I've tried to use glue but it doesn't seem to work. Anyway, it's a really fun car to drive, with good driving sensations and fair amount of power, even with just a 2.0L engine.
Favorite Features
Really fun to drive on a sunny day Good handling, power.
Suggested Improvements
Noise, especially on the Fwy
