Replying to: bunnylover06 (Aug 25, 2006 4:06 am) Hey bunnylover06 a hearty congratulations to you on your purchase, I got my 06 bunny (in black uni) a couple of weeks ago as well. I would also like to welcome you to the manual tranny family - we are definitely a special breed.

Replying to: bunnylover06 (Aug 25, 2006 4:06 am) I'm running into the same problem as you. I have little exprience driving a manual tranny. Part of me tells me to get the manual, but the other part tells me to stick to what I know. Gotta make the decision fast too b/c these cars are flying off the lot in my area.

Replying to: chatnoir80 (Aug 27, 2006 9:50 am) once you get used to the manual tranny, you wont get an auto next time... it's way more fun than the auto, playing with the clutch and changing when YOU want, plus with the manual the Rabbit feels more "alive!"

Replying to: sheridan1 (Aug 26, 2006 8:59 am) I brought it back. The first time, they didn;t remove the noise at; so i doubt whether they worked on it at all. The second time, they did remove the noise, well, for the most part. However, there are other noise coming from the dash board and from the very corner from the passenger's right side. These latter noises are only 30% of the time and not loud. I wonder if I should bring it back? I doesn't sound like a brand new car, but I also hesitate that they may compromise my airbag and other stuff when they open it up....
#45 of 208 THIRD TANK 18.7 mpg by takapuna Aug 30, 2006 (3:49 pm)
After the rather disappointing 19.1 mpg for my second tank, I made sure I took driving easy for the third. Got 18.7 mpg. I did drive fairly fast one evening for about 10 miles but don't expect that splurge had much of an impact. This car (3dr auto) drinks gas and I would not recommend it as a commuter car.   Also, although the dash rattle is not so bad after the second repair attempt (original rattle has gone), today the CD player started making a loud popping noises through the speakers. It's worse with MP3's (really bad) than CD's, and doesn't happen on the radio. So it’s back to the service department I go (for the third time.)

Replying to: takapuna (Aug 30, 2006 3:49 pm) Sounds like you never go on the freeway. I had mileage worse than that on an '97 Golf automatic, but I was only driving it (almost only) within the city limits of San Francisco. If you look at Consumer Reports, city mileage on almost all vehicles is terrible.

Replying to: v_d (Aug 27, 2006 5:12 pm) Slowly but shirley I am getting better. I must say that even though I am not proficient yet I love it WAY more than an AUTO. So to all of you out there considering this save the $1000 and get a stick it is way more fun. Thanks to everyone's feedback & support! Replies to this message: v_d (Sep 07, 2006 3:08 pm)
#48 of 208 I'm confused... by orbit9090 Sep 07, 2006 (6:35 am)
Is this Rabbit picture wrong?   This article is supposed to be about the new Rabbit but it looks like they show a picture of the old GTI. Am I right?   The Bunny Returns http://www.dallasvoice.com/artman/publish/article_2847.php

Replying to: bunnylover06 (Sep 06, 2006 10:34 am) I'm so glad you like the manual more than the auto, especially because you've never driven a car with a manual before. It's something this days (when everybody says AUTOMATIC and never tried a MANUAL).   btw... the guy with the picture: yes it is wrong... you can get a look at the rabbit at your left (ads) and feel free to navigate www.vw.ca www.vw.com   Cheers!
#50 of 208 Rabbit Insignia Stolen by fast505 Sep 07, 2006 (1:04 pm)
Walked behind my new Rabbit today and noticed the little rabbit insignia on the back was stolen, as evidenced by the gouge marks from some punk prying it off with a key. While the loss of the insignia is not terribly significant, I would like to have caught the guy that thought this was a good idea. Anyway, be warned. These little rabbits will likely become hot items for idiots with little respect for property. Maybe I can buy mine back on ebay. Replies to this message: gasman1 (Sep 08, 2006 1:37 pm)
