Volkswagen has been blessed with many award-winning designs, including the Volkswagen Cabriolet of 1993. There are two trim levels to the Cabriolet, including Base and Classic. The Base version is one of the more popular options. Like in 1992 the popular 1.8 liter has made this a popular choice for convertible buyers around the world.

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 1993 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 13.70 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 1993 (MSRP) was $20,230, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is slightly higher than 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 1993 Cabriolet gets 26 - 30 miles/gallon on the highway and only 23 - 24 in the city. This is average for a convertible car.

In Summary

There are several reasons why the Volkswagen Cabriolet Base sold well in 1993. 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.
