For 1992, the Volkswagen Cabriolet was powered by a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine that generated 94 hp. It was linked to a five-speed manual overdrive transmission, which was standard; a three-speed automatic was available as an option.
New for 1992 were three-point seat belts added to the back seat, and full wheel covers for the Base (Standard) model. Other standard features included a driver's-side front airbag, power steering, power brakes, power windows, and an AM/FM/cassette player. Air conditioning was available as an option for the Base model as well as for the other trim packages, the Carat and the new Wolfsburg Classic Convertible.
Drivers note that the Cabriolet handles the road well, and that with routine maintenance the car can have a long life. One driver was enamored with the car's styling, particularly with the top down. The collectible aspect of the car has also been noted by a number of drivers.
What owners say
"Owners of the 1992 Volkswagen Cabriolet generally love the driving experience, especially its sporty feel and great gas mileage. Many appreciate its performance on the road, particularly in the mountains, and the enjoyment of driving a convertible. However, some have experienced issues with the car bogging down despite recent maintenance, which has been a downside for a few drivers."
I loved my VW because it got great gas mileage, it was sporty and small so it hugged the curves in Colorado well and it had great get up and go for a four cylinder. I love German engineering and you can't get much better performance or horse power from and eight valve engine. Plus the added enjoyment of a convertible top on the highway or around town never hurts. I would recommend this car to anyone who enjoys driving on mountain passes for the best gas mileage possible in a gasoline powered engine and a little touch of unique styling for a relatively affordable price.
