We have several trunk mount bike carriers that are listed as a fit for your 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio. I have included a link to them for you. Out of all of the options my favorite is the Hollywood Racks Express 3, # HRE3, because it has a tall reach making it versatile and compatible with many bike styles.
The rack attaches to the vehicle with 4 straps, the legs are padded to protect the vehicle, and it includes sturdy cradles and soft rubber straps to secure your bikes. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
