1997 Volkswagen Cabrio Highline review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have the top replaced because it was so worn and discolored.
The distributor cap had to be replaced 2 times. Blew out all wires and a spark plug.
A gasket blew in my engine and oil was sprayed all over my cars engine.
My transmission had problems where I could not go over 45mph on the highway.
Had to go back 3 times before they could fix that.
I would never own another Cabrio.
General comments?
I like VW and would purchase a new car from them in the future only if it was covered by a good mfg warranty.
