1997 Volkswagen Cabrio review from North America
"Treat yourself to a fun lovable car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just after warranty expired, I had to change a brake disk because the car was shaking when braking at higher speed. I was told it was due to braking after hitting a puddle of water! After complaining to Volkswagen (the car barely has 15,000 KMs), they paid for the parts. I was satisfied with this service.
Recently, door's chime seems to begin playing its little music while I am driving. Garage has not been able to find the problem! Mystery!
General comments?
The cabrio has always been my dream car and still is! After driving it for 4 years, I still enjoy it just as much as when I first got it.
Handles the road very well because of its weight.
Surprisingly excellent winter car even in Canadian weather!!!
Very stable even when the roof is off. Relatively no wind in the front. In the back, bring a hat or cap if you have longer hair!!!
Roomy seats, trunk a little small but still practical. Larger items can be put in the car with the rooftop off.
