The new Rabbit with a diesel pulling 40 mpg and a price (4-door) staying under $20K base would be unbeatable.
 
Having said that, the configuration of this car to buy right now is the base 2-door model with no options but the alloy upgrade. For about $16K you get a car with all the bells and whistles and the nicest interior at the price. You just have to be aware you are trading mpg for pound-feet, which in the Rabbit are brimming over the top!
 
I still would probably be planning to sell at the expiration of the B2B warranty though - VW will need five years of solid reliability before I will trust them beyond the warranty.

Well, you get enough warranty to cover that study period...4 year bumper to bumper and 5 year power train and its mechanical twin (Jetta) has been out for over a year.

How long has the 2.5 5cyl been around in the VW lineup?

I think it is a US only engine so it first came out in the 2005.5 Jetta last spring...like March, so a little over 1 year.

VW had to do something since the 115hp 2-liter caused oil to "disappear"! VW's official word was that "it was normal".....we'll see how the 5cyl treats oil!
