Replying to: stallionre (Apr 05, 2007 4:40 pm) And its your opinion. Rabbits can compete especially with the price of the Mazda's you are right...they SURE can! If you don't want to upset anyone, don't post comments like '_____ sucks.' or, 'i HATE _____'. I like my bunny better than the 3, but i still like the 3 and realize what both cars stregnths and weaknesses are. You post has a very heavy air of someone who didn't REALLY own one, and is just saying that to hate on the car. For example, why not elaborate to why it sucked? And why you traded it in so early? was it a 2 door? Four door? Did you make a profit off of it or do you know have negative equity since the earliest you could have had one was back in 2006, and that means you would have had to have been waiting in line for one...

Let's not turn this into a personal thing please. It's OK to disagree about the cars. That's the purpose of a comparison discussion like this. But we're not here to talk about the motivations of each other. Let's stick to the cars please.

Replying to: eldaino (Apr 06, 2007 4:56 am) Example of a Mazda built in Japan would start "JM***" Example of a Honda built in Japan would start "JH***" Really getting into depth, the 10th digit is the year of the vehicle "JM1BK****7*******" That is how the all Mazda3's start. |

Replying to: stallionre (Apr 09, 2007 7:28 am) Just like the jetta, the rabbit was introduced as a brand new model in the middle of 2006. You can find a 2006 'golf', but its a completely different engine, chassis, suspension and interior than the rabbit. So my orginal assumption was right; you never had a rabbit, you had a 4th generation golf. The names are not interchangable, since the rabbit is only the rabbit in the american market; its still the golf in europe. But again you had the 4th generation and they are two completley different cars. Even if you knew nothing about the trim levels or eninges available, your eyes would tell you that they are totally different. because they are 2 different generations, the problems don't neccesarily come hand in hand; your gen 4 golf (mkIV) was known to be problematic. My generation Rabbit, while not totally trouble free as some people have found, is much less so. SO...what i orignally told you about hating on cars without getting the facts straight is true...its kinda like me saying i hate the mazda 3, when i owned a protege, the car that was available right before it. 2 completely different cars; one un-educated comment.
