I don't think you need to apologize at all! Even though this thread is technically about the '07 Rabbit, I think one's experience with a previous iteration has relevance. And this thread is not only open to people who have only good things to say about the Rabbit. Manufacturers change model names for marketing purposes; sometime I think to purposely confuse the average consumer! As far as I'm concern, Rabbit = Golf. Same difference. You just had an older version of the Rabbit.

Thanks bodble, you made me feel much better. I agree with you 100%. Anyway, what car do you have? You like it? I like my 3 very well. Knock on wood, no problems yet, besides trying to program the homelink system. That is challenging.

Got it!!
Yes rorr,
I enjoy the 3 very well. It sure is a zoom-zoom!! I went around a corner at 30MPH and handled very well. The car is still upright.
What car do you have? You enjoy yours?

We have an Acura TL and a Mini, but we may need to get a 3rd car for the kids. And models being considered include the Rabbit, Mazda3, Suzuki SX4, Honda Fit, the new Lancer.

Can I add my two cents? Zoom-Zoom sounds great, especially for the kids, but you knew that I was going to say that.
I am only speaking from experience. I had an Acura Legend, nice car, but with gas prices as high as they are, I had to dump it. Also trans was leaking, 203,000 miles on it, ABS pump was going out, $2,500 to repair. No thanks.

sorry guys! You all know i'm not here to fight, i just don't like the baseless comments thing. Would i mind if a host would step in when i get called a name instead of 10 posts later? Sure who wouldn't? Just a suggestion.
 
B, if you think that golf=rabbit, fine. I cant convince you otherwise, but just be careful if your around other vw buffs, they may not be as forgiving as i am...
sorry, theres a star wars quote for ya!

Since you are looking at cars for your kids, may I suggest you take a look at the IIHS crash test scores for the Mazda3, and compare them to those of the Rabbit and Fit. (I don't think they've been posted yet for the SX4 and Lancer.)
 
I love how the Mazda3 drives and looks, but not knowing how it fares on side crashes when equipped with SABs/SACs is steering me away from it for my next car, which will also be driven by and eventually be handed down to my daughter.

too true backy. I've heard both the hatch and sedan have not so good ratings if they don't have the side curtains equipped on them.
 
That and the fact that the 2.3 doesn't really get that much better mileage than my rabbit is what will make me just settle for a gti 5 door if i ever get another hatch instead of the 3. But we will see.
