2001 Volkswagen Cabrio GLX review from North America
"Economical convertible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has gone wrong is the interior door handles have peeled and been replaced twice. Other than that the car has been flawless.
General comments?
The car has done we have expected it to do. Very reliable and really a fun car. We have taken it on several long trips (1000+ miles) and didn't have any of the problems the other reviews refer to. Leather is still in excellent shape, as is the top. We live in the Pacific NW, lots of rain, no leaks.
