Does anyone have a new VW Rabbit?

Can you comment on the quality of the build?
How about the engine, brakes, and suspension?

Thanks for the info.

I cannot comment on the '07 Rabbits, my my dad's first new car was a '79 Rabbit. It had a 3-speed tranny and a diesel engine. That thing ran forever and never required any maintenance. We gave it away (literally) after 12 years of ownership and daily driving.

I am still mad at him over it.

I do know that the new 07' GTI was Automobile magazine automobile of the year You might be able to get info on the mags web site.

I had a early 80's Rabbit. Good memories...

I need to buy a cheapie to leave a the house for our house keeper. Not a Japanese car guy.
I dont want a used car, I need that warranty.

I had many Rabbits, GTI 16v, Scirocco 16v, Corrado, and Jettas, loved them all.

If they're anything like the 2000-2003 Jettas, I would stay far, far away.

I've got an 06 jetta. the rabbit has the same driveline as this one...I like em. I like how they look, how they handle. They're quite peppy for only 150hp. Very good lookin' car IMO. Probably would have bought one, but they weren't available when we bought the jetta.
