It's a nice looking hairdressers motor.... :kiss:

Looks like it will flex round the bends, sure it won't but im not that keen.

I'll bet that red still won't be an option! Unless it's one of the super expensive euro options. :angry:

I've, personally, never thought highly of or understood any of the Golf cabrio range, all except the mk1 :sad:
Don't mean to offend anyone, this is my personal opinion

Nice car if your name is Vidal Sassoon or Toni & Guy......

I have Cabrio history, A3 cab - nice car, but seriously flawed hood, and this is the same design. My advice don't touch it there will be lots of long term issues......
Also when you go topless you compromise on stiffness (fnar fnar), weight and hence handling. Thus a GTI cabriolet just isn't right.
When buying the A3 I went 1.8t (sweet motor) instead of 2.0t as the later just exposed the A3 chassis (wooden and flex on cab).

Saw one the first day of the new plate in red, it looked nice until the guy who was driving parked up and then got out; he was about 65 with dyed black hair and a pony tail!! WTF. Looked a total minger.

oh look an eos with different panels stuck on it... :lipsrsealed:

Please pity me then who's married to a woman who insists on buying a convertible. She had an Astra convertible which was a perfectly decent car (albeit with a pretty grim interior) then a Saab 93 which, to be fair is a beautiful looking thing, cruises brilliantly and I don't look too much of a c**k in it. Obviously handles like a pudding but I can accept that since I have the GTis for proper driving in.
However, the time is approaching to change the 93 and she has clocked onto this Golf convertible, ignoring my horror by saying it's her car and I got what I want (can't really argue with that). We have a double problem in that I do a 60 mile commute so I need to buy something economical which means (if we bought one of these) (a) the 1.6 diesel and (b) I'l look a c**k every day going to work. I really don't like the Golf convertible as I still think it looks like a pram on wheels but I' struggling to convince her of anything else at the moment.
The new Astra convertible looks quite nice in the spy shots I've seen so far or my only other hope as to persuade her into a diesel Scirrocco. However, I'll hate that too cos a coupe shouldn't have a diseasel in it. Nor should a convertible to be honest but needs/costs must.
Think I might just divorce her and marry a woman who's happy to trundle round in any old piece of s*** - it'd be much easier.

:grin:
Andy try get her to look at the pug coupe thingy... doesnt look too bad and would save your driving a golf cab around
-
You mean the RCZ thing or a 308 convertible?

RCZ.. they usually get a few looks, which mean no one will be looking at you :grin:
-
It's not a convertible though is it? And that's the problem - she has to be able to put the roof down.
The shame of being seen in a hairdresser's car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
They tested this on gear against another hard top convertable (can't remember what is was) and found it was stiffer and had better handling despite the tag top. They rated it pretty high overall. I reckon it'll be good (if you're in to drop tops).
P.S Mk1 Golf convertable the most iconic drop top ever?
-
I see your dilema andy... could you not get away with a sunroof and some nitrogen plugged into the a/c to provide that extra little chill factor :grin:
... im at a loss then pal, not many drop tops that can be driven by guys tbh :undecided:
-
Agreed. The bottom line is she's a pain in the arse!!!!
I'm going to tell her if she buys one of them we'll never be able to afford another GTi (or similar) so should therefore downsize her car to something economical and concentrate on putting money into the main car. But trying to be logical with a woman is always a thankless task as you will all (the blokes amongst you anyway) already know.

My wife had an Eos 2.0 TFSI sport for a couple of years and this is a great 2nd car. Tin top made it a good coupe and not like a pram. Didnt handle particularly well but it was good enough for a roof less wonder and was quick too having the GTI engine. A cheaper alternative would be diesel or 1.4 TSI version. A 3 year old one with an extended warranty (a must with that complex roof) wouldnt be too expensive. Never had any problems with it and was water tight.
-
I actually quite like the Eos and could probably cope with that but must admit to have been put off by the many stories of roof leaks.

I think I could live with the stories of leaking when you can make it look like this;

Like the front end not sure about the back but looks pretty mean !

There could be a few blushes as the ladies sink into that thing. Not to mention the fact that our lass would never get out again!!!

Saw a new Golf cabrio, in Black, on the M1 today, had LED rear lights, hood was up and.....wait for it...........was driven by a bloke :laugh:
Didn't suit him, hope he was driving his missus' car for the day !!
