I bought a used 2002 VW Cabrio GLX and have had it for five years - this car is awesome. I have only had it serviced at the dealer and have had no major issues with the car. I even bought the extended VW warranty - kind of feel it was a waste of money since I still haven't used it. If you buy a used one just make sure you get the service records - some VW's have no issues and some have a lot - beware of someone who hides service records - they are hiding problems. If you take care of your VW It will love you for years to come!

I wanted a reasonably priced convertible that was relatively safe. The Cabrio rocks. No - its not a chick car. There is more room in the front seat than was in the Mustang Convertible, Mitsubishi Spyder, BMW Z3, and Audi TT. I didn't fit comfortably in any of those (I'm 6'3"). I have perfect leg room in my Cabrio. The body is rigid and the drive is peppy. OK the engine could be better, but its not bad for what you pay. Get the GLX, you will want all the features and the xtra cost isn't much.

The Cabrio is the most quiet convertible on the market. A six layer top!! It has a more upscale and more classy feeling than other convertibles that try to be classy and end up corny. The Cabrio is not a barnstormer when it comes to speed; but it is justified power. The car is heavy! Very nice to drive, even with the top up.

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, it's like you've 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 it's competitors can live up to it. No other convertiblecan match it's combination of safety (side airbags), practicality and fun. I love my car!

Taking My Time To Get Where I'm Going...

Sure the car has it's drawbacks when it comes to speed...but who needs speed when you take your time to get where you're going? You can't help but feel relaxed in this car. It's fun to drive and flashy. I have red! What more do you need? It's too bad it got bad ratings from people that couldn't spring for the GLX model...power top, leather seats, rims...all the good stuff. Men look funny driving this car too...I just don't understand it. It's definately a chick only car!
