What is this discussion about? Volkswagen Rabbit, Hatchback

Article comments for First Drive-2006 VW Rabbit - Although the Rabbit's profile remains reminiscent of the original, unlike in the days of roller disco and Different Strokes the word "rabbit" does not appear anywhere on the car. Instead, a small chrome bunny cast midhop decorates the hatch beside a chrome 2.5, which denotes the Rabbit's engine size in liters. (more)

Replying to: tdennen (Sep 15, 2006 1:52 pm) I hear you, tdennen. . .which is precisely why I'm leery about purchasing a new Rabbit. . .It seems that when you purchase a VW nowadays it's all in the roll of the dice, so to speak. . .more often than not, know what I mean? Buying any vehicle from any manufacturer can be a risk. A lemon is always possible, even from Toyota, Honda. . .blahblahblah- but from VW the potential risk for a clunker is higher than average. . . It IS sad! Peace!

I drove it from 1991 until 1999 when the clutch finally went. I then got a 1995 Golf and experienced few major problems. I think the fuel pump was the biggest thing I had to replace. When the clutch started to get iffy this past spring, I got nervous. It was soon after that I saw for the first time the TV commercial for the Rabbit. I went to the dealer and traded in my Golf. I have been driving the Rabbit since July and I love it. It handles very well and is very peppy. I have found the gas mileage to be acceptable and I have experienced no problems yet. Perhaps I am just impressed with the power windows and CD player, firsts for me. Replies to this message: eldaino (Nov 09, 2006 7:13 pm)
