Model Information

Collector's Edition

Cabriolet was the base trim level.

Cabriolet Classic was the higher content trim level.

Both are Collector's Edition-badged models.

If you look closely, you'll notice that, appearance-wise, the Collector's Edition Cabriolets are just like the 1992 Wolfsburg Editions.

Reportedly, just 4,400 Cabriolets were imported to the USA for sale for the 1993 model year (this has not been confirmed).

*Not switch-activated; these power door locks are an "auto (un)lock" feature, as all door/trunk locks will auto (un)lock with turn of the key. NOTE: This option is included in the owner's manual with a "where applicable" footnote, but is not listed in any other official Volkswagen documentation for the 1993 Cabriolets. While I received an email from an owner with a Cabriolet having power door locks, this option has not been confirmed as being factory-installed equipment.
