One of the staples of the Convertible segment is the Volkswagen Cabriolet. In the previous model year debuted a brand new version of the Cabriolet with three versions: Base, Carat, and Etienne Aigner. Sales for the Cabriolet, especially the Cabriolet Base, were brisk during 1991 and 1992. The improved vehicle quality and the classic styling were responsible for the boost in sales.

Performance

Volkswagen Cabriolet Engine Specs: The Cabriolet Base comes outfitted with a 1.8 liter, 4-cylinder motor that uses 8 valves. The engine, manufactured by Volkswagen, is teamed up with a Volkswagen 3-speed transaxle. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Volkswagen.

The fuel system for the 1991 Cabriolet is a Bosch AFC-Digifant design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 13.80 gallons.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Cabriolet has power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Cabriolet Base Statistics

The Cabriolet is 153.10 inches long, 64.60 inches wide, and 55.60 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 94.50 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1991 (MSRP) was $16,540, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

Fuel Efficiency

The Cabriolet Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty five in-city driving and thirty two when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

Conclusion

The 1991 model year was unsuccessful for the Volkswagen Cabriolet. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
