Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet (94-01) - Review

Review by Parkers on
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.

Buying used

There are plenty of Golf Cabriolets around but you’re unlikely to find an example in the Volkswagen Approved Used network. Most are only available through private sales or independent dealerships. Private sellers are often more willing to haggle than dealers, so you can save yourself some money if you’re a tough negotiator. When buying privately, a car data check is a vital way of independently examining the car’s history and ensuring that there are no hidden or nasty surprises.

Selling

There's still steady demand for it, so there shouldn't be too many problems selling. A sensibly priced and well looked-after Golf Cabriolet will be snapped up relatively quickly - especially in the warmer months - while a full service history should seal the deal.
