1998 Volkswagen Cabrio review from UK and Ireland
"Well manufactured and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After second service noticed that water temperature was running high. Returned to dealer and discovered that they had replaced coolant, but that there was an airlock in system and not enough coolant replaced. Topped up and no problem since.
No other fault since new.
General comments?
My wife loves this car. She feels safe driving it and loves it's handling and performance. I admit that I enjoy a spin in it too and take it through the lanes of Kent in England too fast sometimes enjoying the boy racer performance coupled with pretty good comfort. This car has been very reliable and is easy to maintain.
