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!

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
