The 2012 Golf Cabriolet is the sixth
iteration of Volkswagen’s Golf line of vehicles. Although the first models were
impressive in their own right, the latest iteration comes with something
impressive and unique at the same time. It comes with the expected power and
maneuverability from Volkswagen but it comes with something else that makes it
a head turner – a feature not common in many of the Volkswagen vehicles.
Convertible Cloth Top
The unique feature of the 2012 Golf
Cabriolet is its cloth top. Other convertibles use metal roofs for durability
but this doesn’t mean that the cloth top of Golf Cabriolet is unreliable. In
fact, the cloth top on the Golf Cabriolet looks secure when installed. Removing
the roof is very easy and no additional adjustments are required.
One of the reasons why cloth top are used
in this iteration of Golf Cabriolet is due to size. The roof is relatively
smaller than a metal counterpart and would take less room in the boot. But even
though it’s not metal because of necessity, Volkswagen created an impressive
top down.
Impressive Engine
Although the vehicle is a relatively small
motor vehicle, it still comes with an impressive engine that can deal with
basic road conditions. The most powerful version of 2012 Golf Cabriolet is the
210-hp with 2.0 liter engine. The engine with the least power is still very
impressive as it comes with 105-hp, 1.2-liter engine.

The golf convertible has been a classic since the mark 1 was released in the 80's. We haven't seen a golf convertible for the mark 5 and I imagined, with the release of the EOS, the same would be true for mark 6 but I'm plesantly surprised.
The car is styled in a similar way to the Audi A3 convertible, which makes sense as it's built on the same floor pan. I haven't had a chance to check it out in the flesh yet but I'm sure its a great car to drive.
