It's quick and not too inefficient. Fun to drive, handles well, feels safe.
The oil lines have serious issues but a lot of that has been resolved. It has run beautifully for a couple years now with no serious maintenance

2007 VW Rabbit, 2 door hatchback
185000 miles and no issues except for the headliner. Regular oil changes, alternator replaced, water pump and belts/pulleys, suspension. Still original clutch on it. I will miss it once it's gone. Heavy but safe vehicle. 28 mpg highway with a range of about 400 miles per tank. Ability to use regular unleaded is a big plus compared to a BMW or Audi.

It's 12 years old and runs without any major issues associated with Volkswagens.
What I like about my car is the fact that it's almost 12 years old and hasn't needed any major repairs, besides the normal maintenance. Back when it was first purchased, I fit my needs very well, was at a great price, and is actually very fun to drive.

What I do love about my vehicle is that it has always been very comfortable and fun to drive
I've had my car for about 8 years now and most of those years I really enjoyed it. It has been always comfortable to drive but as it has gotten older in age the transmission slips more and more

The amazingly simple Volkswagen rabbit
Comfortable soft seats that are adjustable. Some problems are the air conditioning features, a lot of things break easily and are not easy to fix. Overall, the inline 5 cylinder has enough kick to get the car moving. The gear shifting is really smooth and the clutch is easy on the leg. It does not have a lot of body roll given it's a big hatchback, it is really stable and also comes with traction control that kicks in fast when needed.

Great vehicle it is small with plenty of room.
I do not have anything that I dislike about my car. Runs smoothly handles well, great radio. I would buy it again if I had the opportunity.

Great small car, good on gas.
I really like that my rabbit is good on gas. The size is perfect for me and the hatchback makes it convenient to get things in and out of the car.

The Volkswagen rabbit is an affordable nice car!
It doesn't run so smooth compared to a lot of cars. It is a two door car, the trunk has a lot of space surprisingly, and has six way adjustable seats, it is a small car but pretty roomy. It has mp3 capability for the stereo system. The adjustment for the driver's seat is pretty quick compared to battery powered adjustment, the sports mode is nice.

Fun to drive and plenty of space.
I enjoy my VW rabbit overall. It is fun to drive and very easy to maneuver. It is speedy and accelerates at a nice rate. Despite its small size, it can store a lot since the back seats fold down. Overall this is a very good car and I am happy wit it. There have been some maintenance issues, but that can probably be attributed to its age.
