Purchased As New

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.......read morehide

Noisy motor (I like that though)

Purchased As New

This is my second rabbit. I had an 07 and traded for an 08... I drive alot of miles in my business and absolutely love this car. 40k spark plugs were a surprise and 50k rear brakes too, but no other maintanance costs. I will trade for another when 2010 decides a golf or rabbit. Nice 5 cylinder and nice six speed tiptronic for the money....read morehide

Cons

I Can't Think Of Any

Purchased As New

Have This 2009 Rabbit Two Weeks,And I Enjoy The Car Very Much.
I Looked At Many Cars On Several Sites,Drove A Few,But This Is
The Car That Scoots Around Nicely In City Driving,Or On The Open
Road.

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

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.
