Author: The Cabriolet Classic is equipped with a Volkswagen 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 8 valves. The engine is mated to a Volkswagen 3-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Volkswagen.
The Cabriolet uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Cabriolet Classic Statistics
The dimensions of the Cabriolet Classic are 64.60 inches wide by 153.10 inches long. It sits a comfortable 55.60 inches off the ground. It seats a standard four passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 94.50 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The standard warranty period for the Cabriolet is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the convertible market.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $17,320 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 1992 Cabriolet is a traditional Bosch AFC-Digifant, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 13.80 gallons.
The Cabriolet Classic received a miles-per-gallon rating of 23 - 25 in-city driving and 28 - 32 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.
In Summary
There are several reasons why the Volkswagen Cabriolet Classic sold well in 1992. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Volkswagen, specifically a Cabriolet.
