2008 Volkswagen Rabbit consumer reviews

This car is quick and powerful, it truly is worth the 18,000 dollars i spent on it. All of the options that I would have wanted to get on a Toyota were standard on the Rabbit and the cost value is much better for Volkswagens so it was my clear choice and I will never buy anything other than a Volkswagen.

This is a GREAT car for the price! I had my choices narrowed down to the Rabbit and the Focus and there's absolutely no comparison. For $16,100 I can get a base model Focus with CD, Tilt, and Automatic (nothing else) or for $16, 300 I can get PW, PL, Tilt/Telescoping wheel, ABS, 4 wheel disc, traction control, 30 extra HP, power and heated mirrors, and lots more! Standard! The decision wasn't hard, and after I test drove each of them, I realized the Rabbit was for me. Rides better, drives better, more power, mre reliable. The exterior may look kinda ugly to some, but suprisingly the interior was VERY roomy, more than enough for 4 adult males to sit comfortably. The EPA ratings on here for gas mileage are definitely off, I've gotten 110 miles and my needle just now went below 3/4 of a tank, amazing! Highly recommended!

I needed a small hatchback and researched several models. I finally narrowed it down to the Rabbit and the Mazda3 5-door. Before the test drives, I suspected I would prefer the Mazda3, and while it was quite fun to drive, the Rabbit was just more solidly built, peppier, has better crash-test ratings, and had a better warranty to boot - 4 years bumper to bumper, and 5 years powertrain. The interior is much nicer, too - no shiny plastic - and to me, more comfortable. I am coming from a BMW 3 series so maybe I just prefer the feel of German cars, but to me, this car is a winner for the price. The included features such as stability control, ABS, heated front seats, etc., make it a great value.

Base model loaded with nice standard features. The Rabbit is very responsive and handles like a sport car. Very well designed inside-out. VW thought of a lot of details to make your life easier. After analyzing the competitors the Rabbit was the best choice!
