Taken the day I bought the car. The VW Cabrio made such an impression on me, I wanted a Volkswagen to pound around in for the winter. This one fit the bill. Cheap, inspected, new snow tires, and cheap! I really enjoyed driving the little Cabrio.
It felt so solid and firm on the road, it was a ball to drive. I started watching Kijiji for a cheap decent Volkswagen. With new snow tires and a valid MVI, it was worth a look. It drove well, and no major issues seemed to be apparent.
It was just what I was looking forβ¦a 2. It was owned by a year old girl who went away for college. Her parents had spent some money on it, including the tires, and some power steering lines. They had no need for the extra car. Just look at the rhinestones!!!
She had spent a pile of time decorating the inside of the car. I found it to be a really comfortable car to drive, but my wife hated it. She found the seats hard on her back. It was an absolute ball to drive. The door locks never worked right at all. They, as I recall, had a pile of switches in the latches to tell the door computers and the security system if they were open, closed, locked, or unlocked.
I have no idea what the red hash mark at 50 was for though. The backlighting was a deep purplish colour. There were lots of lights β many of them illuminated permanently. The temperature light would glow blue until the car warmed up. There was lots of heat once that light went out. The car served well for the winter. Lots of fun playing with it in the snow. It saved me from having to drive the truck too much in the salt.
