Mk3 Golf convertibles, talk to me

[RiccardoG]

I'm considering one of these as a "summer fun" car. The appeal is, relatively inexpensive to buy, simple to maintain, solid roof down motoring, seats more than 2. I actually like the shape and have always been a mk3 fan (looks wise, never owned one). I understand they're a bit slow and not so "sporty" to drive.

I believe that with the Mk1 cabriolets, their inherent qualities actually made them a good ownership experience. Wondering whether the same applies to the mk3s?

There seems to be very little info about them out there.

Just watch out for rust now as most mk3s will suffer. decent enough car.

Try get one that's had a vr6 engine fitted for extra roof down amazing soundtrack.
