What Owners are Saying About the 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet
"Best Vehicle Ever"
"I would recommend this car to anyone. I have owned several throughout the years and I would NEVER buy a different vehicle. It is sporty, fun, reliable, peppy, gets great gas mileage and will last forever. It is a pretty rare car in the midwest so if you find one buy it because the value is ony going to go up. I wuold also recommend getting a manual transmission if you can. They are much more fun and have a lot more get up and go. The only reason I have had more than one is because I bought one wrecked and didn't have the money to fix it and the other was involcved in a legal dispute and I lost it. AWESOME LITTLE CAR."
"This a great car"
"They are great daily drivers and great on gas............."
"Really fun, Great car"
"I bought one of these about a year ago at age 20. It was my first car that was MINE. I loved it. It had great gas mileage and only cost me about 2,300.00. It is a great car that combines style, comfort, coolness, and practicality. most convertibles aren't good for much else besides holding two people. The manual version is alot of fun. Unfortunately, someone ran a stop sign and hit me, totalling my car. They are hard to come by in Indiana, so I'm stuck driving a dodge caravan in the mean time, but I'll never stop looking until I find another one."
