Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet 2.0 Avantgarde

Pretty car with lots of fun. You can even have the roof down in the rain as long as you dont drop below 60mph. Wealso take my 10ft longboard surfing. Dosnt strap to the roof but does look very pretty in the leather back seats also good as no room left for noisey small children. Longest we have ever owned the same car, normally change them with the seasons. Would love to upgrade to a more practcal van but just cant part with her.COOL!

I love my 2L VW Golf Cabriolet Avantgarde. My parents have owned it since it came off the production line and have passed it onto me as I have just started driving. It is a truly great little car, looks great... Admitedly it looks much nicer with a new pair of alloys on it... but it is one of few very good looking cars out there these days. As for miles to the gallon, mine does around 33 on straight journeys and around 26 on stop start journeys, so I wouldnt call that really bad, but it isnt the best. Plus its one of a few cars that age that show you the miles per gallon it is doing!! I love this car it is the best first car I could have dreamed of. New sound system and alloys and off you go!

Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet 2.0 Avantgarde fuel consumption not great.It takes a bit of time to build up speed for a 2L.power hood button a bit fiddly.good appearance when hoods down.inside is nice.

I have owned my 2 litre VW Golf avantgarde for just under a year now, and despite the bad weather I really dont care the roofs up, I think despite the bad points mentioned about trhe fuel economy and gearbox, vw have done an overall good job, sadly mine has to go as my partner is pregnant so need a family car, selling her will be the hardest thing ive ever done.

VW Golf cabriolet karmann, I recently purchased the car despite my pregnant partners dispair, but after one drive she loved it! One of the best cars i have driven (out of 27) well recommend.

1994 silver Avantgarde, standard except it's lowered and has Oz racing alloys, A very pretty car, great fun, electric hood down/up in a few seconds. An easily looked after simple, basic piece of machinery.

My first venture into a convertable for many years. I'm 55 (male) I think my last convertable was a red K reg. (1972?) 2.0L TC Alfa spider in the early 80s, which used to fill up with rain in the footwells..hood great though, manual, down/up in seconds from the driver seat; also very fast and pretty. A few MGB's and Midgets and like before that. Just as well have a car that's fun!

Might get a newer VW cab; don't want to go back to a hard top for a while.

I have had my Golf Cabriolet for 18 months now, it's 10 years old and still looks better than some newer cars. I spent more than I wanted to when I bought the car but I don't regret it for 1 minute. It is my pride and joy. It still has only 68000 on the clock so there's stacks of life left in her yet. I would recommend these to anyone, in fact if I won the lottery I would upgrade to a brand new one - no fancy Porsche for me!

Bought for my wife a Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet as a runabout for shopping and dropping kids to school etc. Only has 60,000 km so far but seems to be a reliable, economical and practical little cabrio. Just returned from a 2500 km holiday over some average roads with no problems and 40 mpg average. Boot was just big enough for luggage for the 4 of us. I think I've been converted.

I've had my VW Golf Cabriolet Avantgarde from new and picked out a non standard mixture, silver, blue hood and grey interior. Very nice combination. Looked at changing to a new hardtop convertible when they came out buy they all feel like toys, plastic and cheap! Could not even bring myself to test drive they just did not feel safe!! Went away travelling for 6 months decided to sell my car but upon return fell in love with it all over again : ) Mine is not garaged and has never leaked and looked after me on some very long journeys including a few near misses with idiots on the motorway, very good brakes and road handling. Sits very comforatbly at 70 with loads of room left to quickly accelerate.

This is the longest I have ever kept a car, just can't find anything else that comes close to my requirements, something fun, safe, nice looking and relatively practical, it has got a big boot considering it has an electric roof.

If your considering it, go for it, have some fun, believe me you will be smiling lots - Enjoy

My Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet 2.0 Avantgarde is unique. It has full leather interior and came with multispoke BBS alloys, twin ainbags, electric mirrors, heated seats and all the rest.
