2001 Volkswagen Cabrio GLX review from North America
"I am in love with this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left hand window motor went out, fixed in my backyard for about 150 bucks.
The seat adjuster knob broke off on the drivers seat, but I glued it back on and it works fine :).
Had to have the radio reprogrammed at the dealer a few times due to a faulty relay that was frying the alternator. NO issues after it was fixed.
General comments?
No major issues with this car. Only regular maintenance and a few electrical quirks.
