2000 Volkswagen Cabrio review from North America
"Although cute, I would only want my enemies to purchase a Volkswagen Cabrio"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator has gone out twice. Once at 18,000 and then at 32,000.
A/C has been repaired 3 times.
Fuel system problems with many components.
Many, many electrical problems.
In the two and a half years, the car has been in for unscheduled service nearly 20 times.
General comments?
My wife wanted this car because it was cute. I have never personally encountered a new car with so many problems.
Volkswagen seems to have no concern for the problems encountered with this vehicle. They seem to have more loopholes in their pathetic excuse for a warranty than I can count.
In addition, this car seems to be designed so that repairs must be made by a mechanic. I have never in my life seen a front brake assembly so difficult to work with.
