Volkswagen Golf 6 Cabriolet (5K)

Product Overview
Volkswagen Golf Mk6 Cabriolet (Type 5K) is a compact convertible in production from 2011 to 2016. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.
Based on the Mk6 VW Golf, the Cabriolet, like all convertibles based on hatchbacks, is rather ugly. VW made some efforts to give it decent handling characteristics and performance, but this level of hideousness is not what buyers of this category looks for. This is also why VW only sells a Golf Cabriolet once every other generation and has to discontinue it more than once.
