Performance - the car has a few years and a good number of miles on it. Performance is not stellar so a tune up would be good to restore some of the lost oomph. Build Quality - it iss a VW. Solid to the bone. Despite the years the chassis feels strong and rigid. Although much of the interior is covered in plastic, it does not look cheap. After a good clean up the interior has the potential to look almost new. Appearance: it is not a bad looking car. Obviously the convertible factor adds to the appeal. Straight, streaming lines from front to back give it a nice "on-the-move" look. Cost of ownership: gas mileage is not bad. An average of 21-24 is common. Add a little coasting and you may be able to get more. The one painful issue, as with most German cars, is the cost of repairs. They can be quite hefty so good preventive maintenance is key. Fun factor: small car with a firm chassis, responsive steering and a drop top. If it's not too cold or not too hot outside, few things can be better than winding your way along your local back roads with the wind in your face.
