Volkswagen Golf III Cabriolet

I recently spent all of my student loan and years of savings on a flashy Golf Convertible 1.6. The car has "wowed" my friends and collegues and has made me a very proud owner. I bought my car second hand about 3 months ago at £8,800, and it was a steal at that price. But what is is about the Golf Cabriolet that makes it so desirable? ~:Body:~ This particular model of Golf comes in a variety of colours, mine is black, but it also comes in silver, green and royal blue. Although black is a neutral colour, and has never really become unfashionable, it does tend to show the dirt very quickly which ... more

I purchased my VW mk3 Cabriolet in January 2003. Coming a very rare metallic purple, I was astounded to find out that VW consider the car to of sufficient status to wear a colour that was reserved for the Corrado and the Golf Highline.. After owning a plethora of VWs, the build quality was to be expected, solid and giving the feel of quality. You will pay up to 5 times as much for a Golf Cabriolet as you would for a Rover 200 or Escort of the same age (1996 Rovers go for about £1200 nowadays), but you are buying a lifestyle choice. People expect Golfs to be expensive, but reliable. Do not ... more

This model of car is a head turning well worth the money purchase. The model of car doesnt seem cheap when originally purchasing the car ( i paid 10,000 for a 1999 silver model just under a year ago) but these cars hold the money and i will hardly depreciate over the years. This model of car is rare!! i have hardly ever seen one around where i live especially not a silver one. When i was looking to buy mine i searched high and low for he silver model and it was difficult to get hold of. The drive and handling of the car is superb and is a big improvement on the ford convertible i had ... more

the lady with the golf who says it gets a knocking sound when she has full lock on , i had the same problem it is the inner c,v boot which has probably got a small tear on it ,not that expensive to fix , i think about £50 ,makes your road handling a lot better also another prob which u may or may not know about, does your car drop its revs when u get to a junction? if so it needs one of the large fuse blocks changing on it . they are grey in colour and can be bought from vw for about £10 pounds although you need to have the cars fault codes done by diangostics which as u know can cost at least ... more
