vw stopped making the cabrio because the car was based on the older car platform that had not been used for any other car since 1999. they replaced the cabrio with the beetle convertible as a money saving idea so that all of the chassis for the small cars would be the same (golf,jetta,beetle). also the cabrio was not half as good as the beetle in the terms of safety.

with the honda/toyota/cabrio thing.. japanese cars are easier to maintain.. and cheaper. vw engineers are smart.. they wire stuff all together so you have to go to the garage to fix the lights that come on. i have a bug (turbo S mind you!!...anyway) when my husband changed the oil, the check engine light came on and after resetting it multiple times, it still was on. but we eventually fixed it. just a pain in the butt with VWs. great looking cars, but maintenance is expensive!! unless you dont care about money, i would get a honda!
