What features are available on the VW Rabbit? I’m just curious about it. I might, just might, go inside one of the VW dealers here in Texas tomorrow.

Hi there, Brenda. The VW is primarily designed as Volkswagen’s entry-level compact. Performance-wise you can expect, or should expect, a decent fuel economy rating. As far ride and zippiness is concerned, we’ll pile up the facts for you to read below. Looking from afar, I think this compact needs a wee bit more pushing for you just before you drive it in Texas.

You have a choice for the Rabbit: go 2-door and just ride all by yourself and a friend, or get a 4-door. In any case, you’d still get a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder engine. I originally thought the fuel economy on this will be similar to the New Beetle’s 28 miles to a gallon on the highway and 20 miles per gallon in the city. But checking on the ratings, the economy was a whopping 30 miles to a gallon on the highway. In terms of space, it is a compact, so don’t expect a lot from it. But even with the two-door model, the VW engineers had enough foresight to put in a 60/40 split and a flat folding passenger seat for the driver to accommodate more gear inside the car. Standard safety features are also available to ensure your drive will always be a safe one.
