Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet (94-01) - Review Review by Parkers on 14 August 2006 The two-door, four-seat Golf Cabriolet is one of the best cabriolets of the 1990s. It's perfect for the summer months and few cabriolets of the same age can match its overall quality. Secondhand prices are a little dearer than a convertible Peugeot 306 or Vauxhall Astra, but it's so reliable, safe and pleasant to drive that few competitors can beat it. A facelift in '98 brought a newly styled grille and set of headlights, which were added to refresh the front-end and keep it in line with the appearance of the 1998-2004 Golf Hatchback. 4 out of 5 Other Volkswagen reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £14,880 - £21,620 Used price range: £298 - £1,323 View all used prices Get a Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet (94-01) information pack Next steps Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
