I am thinking of buying a 1999 cabrio, I haven't drove it but my boyfriend took it for a test drive and says the clutch feels different. Are the clutches know for being high he said thats how it felt???

 

high as in you have to let the pedal out really far before it engages??

 

I have one of them since new and unless the price is really right it is not that special of a car. Clutch is going to depend on how the person drive it before you, I personally have 111k on mine original clutch and if the car lasted I would bet I will get at least 150k out of it but I don't ride the clutch at all. The tranny blew up at 51k though...I down shifted to 1st from a very slow roll and when I let out the clutch the tranny was making a racket badly and the warranty replaced the tranny brand new.
