My SO before we got married Cabrio had been an electrical nightmare which got worse as time went on. Truly a ghost in the machine type thing that she just got used to driving with the “check the engine” light on constantly. Never once did she get out of the shop without a $1200 bill and the engine light would be back on in a month or two.Absolutely true, but the need for reliability and quality never changes.
She decided she was thinking about the VW Eon. She loved the ragtop on the Cabrio which was simple and actually the nicest feature about the car. The one local VW dealer had lost their franchise so we had to go all the way down to Fresno to see one. The salesman couldn’t wait to impress me with its BMW designed folding hardtop which he gleefully called the Transformer. You have to see that believe it. All these like 16 parts in motion, just barely missing each other..........I was horrified. My SO was delighted until she looked at me. She said I looked like I was going to faint. I felt like it.
