It is pretty! I didn't choose it but I love it is look.
I like my car because it is attractive and comfortable, it is fast and quick to accelerate. It is reliable and I have not had any problems on the road with it. Inside and with the equipment the design is easy to use and the gas mileage is fair. I love it.

My Reliable Volkswagen Rabbit
It is very reliable with almost no problems. I love it. The handling is impeccable, the look is quite stylish. I wish all automobiles were made with the care that this one was. In my five years of owning this vehicle my only problems have been minor, easily fixed with minimum expense.

It is a very reliable car that has very few major mechanical problems.
My Volkswagen Rabbit is very reliable and has had no major problems in the three years I have had it. The only problem is that I don't really like the car. It just doesn't FEEL good to me as I drive it. I have no specific complaints -- it's just the feel that I don't like.
