1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet find it to be a fun and unique car, especially enjoyable when driving with the top down. They appreciate its reliable performance and easy maintenance, but some have noted that parts can be pricey and the ride can be noisy with the top up. Many like its classic appeal and the enjoyable driving experience it provides, though some desire a bit more power from the engine."
This car is like driving a go-kart. It turns instantly, handles like it is glued to the road, and has a really tight turning circle. Just about the perfect size for a car around the city. I especially like the tall top and glass which gives you a great view of the road except for the rear window which is small. Very dependable, no problems, always ready to go. Parts are still available and are still fairly cheap. Unlike cars of today, this Volkswagen is high quality and things to do not fall off and the engine has given me no trouble at all. The CIS fuel injection is bullet proof and will probably last for 100 years. A really good seating position when driving, and comfortable. Too bad VW's are now mostly junk and not built to last.
November 12, 2014Fun to drive on sunny days without a care for a schedule. Turning into an ol'school car, it has no GPS, power this or power that the only high tech you will find in this baby is a CD player, an amplifier and two 10" subwoofers in tha back. Engine would need a bit more power, but it's allright.
February 7, 2008I have owned my cabby for about 5 years now. I bought it from a friend who had to sell. It is by far the most fun car I have ever driven. With the top down, it is the most stress-relieving therapy there is. Because of it's age, it isn't commonly seen, so it is becoming a unique item on the road. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that, though it is a reliable car, when it does need parts, they are pricey. Also, with the top up (through the winter), the road noise is pretty high. However, mine does have a replacement top, so the original top might not let the noise through as much. However, I could not ask for a better car for me.
