The 2007 Civic sedan with AT weighs anywhere 2690 to 2904 pounds, depending on the trim level.

Agreed.
 
Still about 400 less than a Rabbit.

The Rabbit weighs 2911 pounds, so weight difference is about 200 pounds at most (2911 - 2690 = 221). I would guess that the Civic that weighs 200 pounds less is probably not equipped as well as the base Rabbit.
 
The sort of middle of the road civic LX weighs 2751 pounds. This is only 160 pounds less than the Rabbit.

According to yahoo autos the weight is 3041. That would be 300 more than the Civic you mention.

which is the proper figure, given that its the same number vw gives.
 
you can't even compare the lightest civic to a rabbit; yeah it weighs more, but its such a horrible value. it comes with absolutely NOTHING. now lx and ex are a different story, and seeing as how the heaviest civic is the ex auto (with the exception of the hybrid and si, both which are heavier), its safe to say that the difference is not extreme, and STILL translates to better high speed handling and overall solidity on the road regardless of speed.
 
the civic i used to have was an 06 ex auto.

yeah, for the dx, which is the most pointless model in all the civic line.

The highest weight that I had listed was for GX, not realizing (until now) that this a natural gas powered version. So the heaviest normal Civic is EX at only 100 pounds less than the Rabbit, per edmunds data.

Hey,
'08 Rabbit owners: can someone please post the on-the-sticker fuel economy of the '08 Rabbit? I checked Fueleconomy.gov and it's actually marginally better than the '07!!! (New EPA=20-29 but I don't know if it's accurrate) I just want to confirm, since it also has 20 more HP than our '07s. Or maybe the '08 stickers are more accurrate since it's the year they are officially switching to the new estimates. I have a feeling if a car with 170HP and the same price as the 07' along with slightly better fuel economy would be a deadly combination for the '08 Rabbit in America.
