1998 Volkswagen Cabrio GLS review from North America
"Serious quality concerns. Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken passenger window button.
Would not idle smoothly. car was in shop 11 times for this problem. Dealer stated that this was a VW trait. Eventually bought back by VW under lemon law as it was never fixed.
General comments?
Nice looking car and fun to drive when it wasn't in the shop.
