* Weights are approximate and are based on
Cabriolets with manual transmissions and air conditioning.
Cabriolets with power steering, cruise control, power tops and/or
automatic transmissions will have higher weights, depending on which
of these options were installed; those without A/C will be slightly
lighter.
For comparison purposes: Original (European),
no frills GTI weighed 1850 lbs.; USA no frills GTI weighed 2011 lbs. |
