Volkswagen Golf 1 Cabriolet (1991)

Louis Kalendruschat

Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

As the last true first-generation Golf with an open roof, the VW Golf 1 Cabriolet is a timeless favorite—and, in well-maintained original condition, is by no means a sure thing anymore. This 1991 model features a harmonious combination of green and beige leather upholstery, BBS rims, a wind deflector, and an appraisal value of €14,900. With TÜV valid through April 2028 and ready to drive immediately—a wonderful introduction to the world of German open-air classics!

    Im Gutachten steht eine Leistung von 116 PS, in der Fahrzeugbeschreibung von 98 PS, was stimmt? Ist das ein GLS ? Und: Ist das grün original oder andere Nachlackierung?

      Technik: Gegenüber dem normalen Golf I ist das Gewicht allein der Rohbaukarosserie des Cabriolets um 90 kg erhöht, gegenüber dem Golf I GTI ist das GLI-Cabriolet insgesamt 140 kg schwerer. Im GLI-Cabriolet findet sich neben dem GTI-Motor (81 kW/110 PS, K-Jetronic) auch das sportlichere Fahrwerk mit strafferen Stoßdämpfern, etwas verbreiterten Reifen und ebenfalls leicht verbreiterten Kotflügelausschnitten. Im Vergleich zum VW Käfer Cabriolet wurde die Karosserie-Durchbiegung um 10 % und die Verwindung um 40 % verringert. Das Dach besteht aus fünf Schichten: Unter dem äußeren Dachbezug gibt es eine Schicht Nesselmaterial, dann eine 20 mm dicke Polsterschicht aus Gummihaar, darunter nochmals Nesselmaterial und danach der Kunststoff-Dachhimmel. Der cW-Wert beträgt 0,48 mit geschlossenem Dach, 0,53 mit offenem Dach bei geschlossenen Fenstern und 0,55 bei offenem Dach und maximal geöffneten Fensterscheiben. LG Tom
