The 2008 Rabbit looks like a nice car, but I practically injured myself getting out of the backseat of the two-door. (Maybe it's my age and not the car design.) No one over 50 should ever have to ride back there.l

Replying to: jaxs1 (Sep 15, 2007 10:12 am) I've had my 4-dr '07 Rabbit since July. I live and work around Southern California and a good number of days got above 100 degrees in the summer, and my Rabbit did just fine. With the seats originally adjusted to a pretty low height, the vents are awkwardly high, and it's kind of hard to get air going where you want it. If you're on your own in the car It's probably a good idea to close unused vents to get better air flow. Adjusting my seat height helped the slightly awkward placement of the vents a little bit, and overall I was never burning up when driving around in the heat.

So in a year or two, I would not be surprised if used Mk5 Rabbits are selling for close to what they cost when new. The demand for used Rabbits is likely to be greater than the supply. |

| I did not try any other 2-door. I tried the Rabbit 2-door because it was the only Rabbit on the floor. While I wouldn't ride in the back seat very often, I did want to experience what passengers would have to experience back there. You're right, Shirotoi, the 4-door would be much more appropriate for me. | |
is the current Rabbit built? How about the previous generation Golf?

Replying to: autoboy16 (Feb 01, 2008 8:20 am) "There", would be.....Mexico, or Germany? I would assume German-built models would have markedly better quality and reliability? |

Replying to: bodble2 (Feb 03, 2008 9:32 pm) My Golf TDI was built in Brazil, and I don't have a single complaint about the build quality. The engine was from Germany, the manual transmission from Argentina, the only problem in the first 100k miles was a part made in Europe. All VW factories, anywhere in the world, use the same robots. Furthermore, all Passats have been German-built, and I've spoken with some Passat owners whose cars are in the shop almost monthly. I don't really know what the problem is, I suspect it is inadequate training -- the dealer techs don't know how to troubleshoot problems so they get fixed on the first visit. |
