#52 of 55 Long-distance commuter by jimbob1975 Sep 20, 2008 (9:24 pm)
Any opinions on how good the Rabbit is for long-distance commuting (55-60 miles round-trip) and for extended road trips?
#53 of 55 2008 RABBIT HESITATION ON TAKE OFF by donww Nov 03, 2008 (1:08 pm)
I purchased my Rabbit in April 08. Since that time, every once in a while on accelerating from a stop the revs will drop to idle even while the accelerator is depressed. After 2 to 5 seconds the car accelerates normally. This has caused some anxious moments as I enter traffic. My dealer does not find this happening when test driving because it only happens once in a while. Does anyone know anything of this problem or have any suggestions? The problem occured during the summer so is not related to a very cold engine however it only seems to happen on first starting out.   DONWW Replies to this message: driveinalong (Nov 06, 2008 1:03 pm)

Replying to: donww (Nov 03, 2008 1:08 pm) Have not experienced the drop-to-idle issue - 5M Rabbit June 08, now with 4,500 miles.   Manual or auto transmission?

hiya. would love to know what other drivers of the 2 door rabbit (2007) feel re; steering. when on a freeway do you continually have to correct steering i.e tweak it slightly when going in a straight line. not used to this as felt it was easier when i had my golf in the u.k. are the rabbits slightly different for u.s driving to those in europe?
