2009 Volkswagen Rabbit -

I LOVE my Rabbit. I got this car as an early graduation present in high school. It's now a little over 6 years old and I've had no major problems with it. It's compact but doesn't feel tiny when inside. We can fit 5 college-aged adults easily.

Story

Freshman year, we used to all dog-pile in my car and go get Chinese buffet for breakfast on Sundays.

Pros

This car has the tightest turning radius I have ever seen. There is practically no spot too small to park in, even if you didn't see it till you were too close. Also gets really good mileage.

Cons

My biggest pet peeve is that the AUX input is inside the center console so you have to bend the cords sharply and they end up not lasting long.

2008 Volkswagen Rabbit - My Pocket Rocket

The engine in the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit is responsive and powerful for its size. Gearing of the five-speed manual and the electronic throttle's aggressive programming help the Rabbit jump off the line like a scared, well, rabbit, and the 150-horsepower 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine delivers 170 pound-feet of torque. Yet, the Rabbit's fuel economy—often what counts for small-car buyers—is near the back of the pack, with automatic cars rated at 20 mpg city, 29 highway and the manual gearbox adding just 1 mpg. Unlike so many budget-minded cars using numbing electric power-assisted steering, the Rabbit's steering is actually communicative and downright lively. The ride from the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit is taut, but never jarring. The front struts and independent rear suspension abso... (more)

Story

Nice and enjoyable ride along the gentle twists and turns as you drive along the spine of this mountain ranges. It was great seeing amazing views around me and stopping for picnics along the many scenic viewpoints. We took it slow and kept stopping to view the scenery and take pictures. We drove right along the ocean with the most amazing views such as the ocean, the cliffs, crashing waves, fl... (more)

Pros

Peppy and nice. Ability to pick a nice speed Can fold down back seat to transport large items such as TVs and boxes Nice interior Radio quality is good. Speakers sound great Can plug in a mp3 player Great mileage

Cons

Small, electrical problems, A/C does not work often, temperature rises when A/C is on, burns gas when A/C or heat comes on, and rusts easily.

1980 Volkswagen Rabbit - This car is awesome

I really loved that this car was very strong and reliable. I got great gas mileage, and it really didn't burn oil. The car had a very basic AM/FM cassette radio, and the heater and A/C unit really didn't work well. It was a small car, which was good since I could park in small spaces. The transmission is very strong and takes a lot of abuse. The frame is strong. I've bounced off a tree, and it just continued to drive like nothing happened. The space in the back of the car is very big and can store practically a whole house in it. The brakes are pretty scary. When it rains, they tend to lock up and with rack and pinion steering its hard to control. Take off from a stand still was very poor. It took a long time to get up to speed, but once there, the car seemed very happy to keep going.

Story

I used to go driving in the sands behind my old house, and the car would hardly get stuck and took all sand like it was pavement. I hit a tree with it and bounced off, and she kept driving like nothing happened.

Pros

The car is very strong, both mechanically and body wise. I feel safe and comfortable driving this car. The engine and transmission are very reliable. The car has plenty of room, both in the rear of the car as well as seating. Gas mileage is great, especially for a 20-gallon gas tank.

Cons

The radio was very basic and not loud at all. The heater was not worth turning on, and there was simply no A/C whatsoever. Acceleration was very poor and took too long to get to speed. The brakes are very touchy, and if they get wet, they tend to lock up and not release when you take the foot off the brakes. The steering is hard to control at low speeds as it is hard to take a turn at highway or city speeds steering is much better
