1999 Volkswagen Cabrio GLX review from North America

The two best days of a Cabrio's owners life our, the day they buy the car and the day they get ride of it!

This car has been an absolute nightmare!

The starter burned out 3 times! at 51,000 miles a week after I bought it, then a week after that and a week after that!

The ignition switch went shortly after that.

Power roof went out before I bought it.

Breaks were replaced, as well as tires.

ABS light comes on for no reason as does break light.

Door locks broke.

Who knows what else has been replaced on the car before I even bought it!

From what I understand these cars have lots of electrical problems.

I have wanted this car ever since I was 16 and now that I have it I just want to get rid of it! Now I understand why they do not make these cars anymore!

They are horribly made and not reliable at all! I recommend to anyone who is thinking of buying a Cabrio to seriously reconsider. I know the car is really "cute" and I admit it is fun to drive, but it is not worth all the headache and extra expenses. I have only had it a few months and I have put so much money into it!

While this car seems to be ever girls dream car it is a nightmare! This car has just stopped in the middle of rush hour traffic on me. I am so lucky I did not get hit by another car and die in that tin can! The car doesn't even start all the time!!! What is the point of having a car that doesn't work.

At first I just thought I bought a lemon, but the more I researched the more I learned that almost all Cabrio owners have experienced these problems if not worse problems. These cars seem to be finished only after a few years and a few miles even if regularly serviced. DON'T waste your money!!! I have a 91 Honda that can run circles around this piece of crap!
