Author: In 1991 Volkswagen released the Cabriolet Base to the car-buying market. The Cabriolet came in three configurations: Base, Carat, and Etienne Aigner. The Base configuration is powered by the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 32 highway miles and 25 city. The Cabriolet competes in the Convertible market segment, in direct competition with Toyota.
Performance
The Cabriolet Base 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 fuel system for the 1991 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 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 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-low price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.
A powertrain warranty is provided (50,000* miles/36* months), and a 50,000* mile, 60* month guarantee also comes with the Volkswagen Cabriolet.
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 1990 model began the promise of the Volkswagen Cabriolet. The 1991 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Volkswagen hopes that the Cabriolet Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
