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! (read more)

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... (read more)

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...

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! (read more)

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. (read more)

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... (read more)

I have owned my Golf Cabriolet 2.0 Avantgard for over 2 years and I am the 6th owner, now the mileage is 96500 miles.. It has never ever let me down and has always started first time on calling. I love the fact it can seat 4 and has a big boot as well... when ever there is a trip out and it's sunny, my phone never stops ringing for lifts!!!Its never going to win any speed records, but it cruises on the motorway very happily at 80-90mph and on a good run you can get nearly 400 miles out of a...

I bought one of these Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet 2.0 Avantgarde Sports Cars because of how it looked. How dumb do I look now? It's a piece of rubbish. It spends almost as much time in the shop as it does parked behind my apartment! I've spent thousands on it. I wish I had bought a hardtop of something else instead. It leaks all winter - which is fine if you don't drive in the rain and have a garage to put it into. You cannot keep the water out. The dealer told me I would have to spend $4250... (read more)

The Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet 2.0 Avantgarde is probably the most unreliable car I have ever bought, although only 29,000 on the clock and top of the range when bought (Now 39,000). After replacing the clutch within a short time of purchase, I have had - and still have coolant problems and battery discharging problems (despite replacing with a new battery) The final straw was massive electrical failure with the wiring loom burning out.
