Pros

GREAT INTERIOR, GOOD STEREO, GOOD ACCELERATION, LOVE IT

Cons

FUEL ECONOMY, A LITTLE STEREO HISS

this is my fifth car in my driving career-all my previous vehicles have had 8 cylinders and so, jumping to a 4 cylinder was a big change but I am not disappointed. handles well on the interstate-though can feel a little 'swimmy'.

Pros

Build quality, thoughtful details, sweet sounding and torquey engine, fun

Cons

Small trunk, small side mirrors

This car is an excellent value: 2.5 liter, 170 hp, and enough torque to go zip in traffic. Exterior and interior quality and materials belie the price and suggest a much more upmarket vehicle. Structure is solid and the car has all the safety equipment one could wish for. Seats are very comfortable and supportive, instruments and dash are classy, conservative looking and very easy to read and operate. There are many thoughtful details such as bag hooks, tie down hooks, movable center arm rest, illuminated vanity mirrors, etc, that bring a smile to owning this car. Engine sounds "hot" so that I find myself rolling down the window just to listen to it. Handling is on the firm side (with 16 inch wheels) but very compliant and comfortable. I love this car and every day I get to drive it I love it a bit more....read morehide

Pros

Waiting to go on a trip and then I will know exactly what mileage Iam getting.

Cons

The ride is very confortable, rides smooth and handles quickly.

Very satisfied wiith my new 4 door VW Rabbit. I had a Mercedez prior to this car and I think this car response is great and the ride just as confortable as my Mercedez. It has quick response and the ride is very smooth.

Pros

Sporty performance, good legroom for a compact, lots of features standard

Cons

Gas mileage a bit low for size, clutch is vague

After learning to drive in a 1967 VW Beetle, and driving a 1988 VW Jetta as my first car, you could say that the "people's car" manufacturer has grown on me. When I picked up my '09 Rabbit about 3 weeks ago, I was not disappointed! It's quick off the line, handles like it's glued to the road, and makes sure you control it all in comfort and style. The list of standard features is a bit jaw-dropping, and the ride is simply a pleasure to experience. My only gripes are slightly sub-standard gas mileage for a car of its size, and that the clutch point (for you purists out there) is VERY vague. You need to learn where it is, as it's very hard to simply feel it engage. Otherwise, fantastic car!...read morehide

Pros

MILAGE, COMFORT, HANDLING, DECENT SPEED...

Cons

STEREO-A BIT MORE BASS WLD BE FINE. AFTER THAT NOTHING ELSE...

BEFORE GOING W/ THE RABBIT, I WAS LOOKING @ A FEW OTHERS IN IT'S CLASS MAZDA 5, CIVIC, COROLLA. BUT AFTER SITTING IN IT @ THE DEALERSHIP THEN A TEST DRIVE I WAS HOOKED!!! HOW MANY CARS OUT THERE R THIS LOADED AS A STANDARD I.E 10 SPEAKER W/6 CD CHANGER & SIRIUS, HEATED SEATS, MIRRORS & WASHER NOZZLES, COOL SAFETY FEATURES, THROW IN A SUNROOF & UPGRADED THE RIMS. I WAS GOOD TO GO...ALL FOR UNDER 20K. NO CAR CAN TOUCH THIS. PLUS WHEN PROPERLY PIMPED OUT LOOKS MIGHTY FINE...LOL...read morehide
