1998 Volkswagen Cabrio review from North America
"It is fun to drive, but painful to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My power top failed to work at 46000 miles.
My power window on driver side failed at 44000 miles.
Speaker side and volume has to be programmed after each use.
Seat.
General comments?
It is a fun car to drive, but when it comes to repairing it, it is an absolute fortune.
I will never buy a Volkswagen Again!!!
