My last 3 cars were all Toyota's and my friends thought I was crazy trading in my 04 corolla for this WONDERFUL LITTLE RABBIT. I laugh at them now. This car is perfect! If you haven't driven one yet, DO IT! Or wait for the new 2010 golf to come out. It's supposed to be even better, but I would find it hard to beat. From the inside out, the car is just better! From the fit and feel of the inside, to the roar of the engine. This car is number 1!
When comparing to lesser brands Honda and Toyota, this will prove that this car is just made better. Open the doors. Feel the weatherstrips around the doors. The VW won't come off as the other do. Shut the doors. Listen how there are no rattles in the door as oppossed to the others. Now, take the hood and open it. Grap the ends in the front and shake/twist it. The hood is solid in the Rabbit and I won't even talk about the "others". Finally, do the same with the trunk. When shaking the Honda during first walkaround, it make a cracking noise that the sales man was embarrassed from. The rabbit is SOLID!
I've heard that 00-05 VW's were not reliable and that they are really stepping it up. Well, VW, keep it up! I'm one more person that has left Toyota for the far better VW.
Now, if they would just bring back the microbus....
