Overview & Reviews

The new Volkswagen Rabbit, which is the next-generation VW Golf, but with the nostalgic, U.S.-only name last used in the early 1980s, was introduced late in the 2006 model year. For the 2007 Rabbit, VW adds an auxiliary audio input jack for MP3 players, an optional Apple iPod-specific adapter and an optional tire-pressure monitor. Cruise control actuation has also been simplified.

• Comfortable ride, rich interior materials, many safety features, roomy interior, solid build quality.

• Can get pricey with options, handling and styling might not be sporty enough for younger buyers.

  Awesome little car - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By ludwig930 - February 8 - 5:30 am

  Overall this car is awesome. Great car for the price. This is my 2nd VW (1998 Jetta TDI ) and I enjoy driving it. Not a long distance driver, but has all the essentials for city driving. Great tuner car for those small little quirks, i.e. braking, body roll. Basic model looks a little bland but add some sport springs, nice wheels and some window tint and it takes a little step closer to GTI appeal. Could save a little more money on gas with a 6th gear.

  Mein Hare!!! - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By berlin58 - January 29 - 5:40 am

  I searched a long time for a vehicle before I chose the Rabbit. I wanted something fun to drive, wasnt a gas guzzler, and foremost a car that I could be comfortable in. Being a rather large individual 65" tall and 245 lbs. basically eliminates me from about 90% of the cars in the market, and this includes a lot of trucks and suvs. However, the Rabbit has loads of room. I have more than enough leg room, headroom, and shoulder room. When are the Japanese and American car companies going to get it??? Kudos to VW for building a car that a variety of body types can fit in. I really love this car, its a blast to drive and I look forward to my daily commute where as before I did not.

  A dream machine for a student! - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Andrew - January 26 - 1:46 pm

  I had never driven a VW two weeks ago. After the test drive, I was sold. Build quality is amazing. Driving it is a joy. The 2.5 PZEV 5M is no slouch. Much more than "acceptable," well beyond "competent." Not a racecar, but great torque, and amazing responsiveness in all the conditions its been through so far. For the price, I would say that my Rabbit is an amazing blend of performance, comfort, and quality. I cant even describe the feeling one gets while driving it. During the test drive, I just wanted to laugh maniacally. On paper, it doesnt look like much of an edge over the Versa, Yaris, Fit, or tC, other than performance. In person, it feels like a whole new class of vehicle.

  Couldnt Find a Better Hatchback - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Matt - December 23 - 1:13 pm

  I tried to find a better deal on a hatchback used and domestic (even went to car auctions). This two door appears to have more room than the four door Focus. What sold me was the vast range of features and powertrain. It is a huge improvement from the Mark IV Golf with its four wheel independent, five cylinder, and a very smooth shifting six speed Tiptronic transmission for only $17,000! The plastics on the exterior protect exactly where the car would get bumped in parking lots. Plus it has traction control, heated mirrors, ABS, cruise control, six airbags, laser wielded frame, and daytime running lights...the list goes on. I would love to sell these for a living.

  Great for tons of driving - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By LongHairGuy240 - December 11 - 11:23 pm

  I deliver pizzas for a living. This car allows me to do that with ease. Its very fast. I can get from 0-90 in no time, on the freeway of course. It turns very easily, brakes just fine. I drive about 2500 miles a month, so the oil changes get expensive, but its more than worth it. I blew up two cars because of oil change issues, so Im being very careful with this one. Im sure Ill be keeping this car for a long, long time. Ill most likely buy another after this one is finally dead.

  Rascally Rabbit - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By brucemip - December 6 - 4:46 am

  Bought this car used with 52K miles on it and a extended warranty for 20K mile, which was a waste. This car has been perfect and reliable since I bought it. I now have 105K miles on it and still running strong and drive the same as the first day I bought it. Regular oil changes every 5K. Went through 2 sets of tires. Added GTI 17s mags. Color is white, black trim and Yakima bike rack with air spoiler, clean, looks real sporty, turns heads all the time. Extremely happy with this car performance, ride & comfort.

  Best bang for the buck - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Steve - October 23 - 10:53 pm

  Highs: torquey engine, great interior design, amazing spec list standard, cost of ownership is very low. Gas mileage is pretty poor, but if youre concerned about gas mileage youre probably not even going to be considering this car anyway. The 170 ft-lbs of torque is apparent from very low in the rev range, and worth the trade with gas mileage as far as Im concerned. When compared to everything else $20k or less, the Rabbit shines through.

  WoW - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By dave farviknugen - September 28 - 9:06 pm

  For sure will get speeding tickets cause its way fun, surprised havent been stopped. Yet. Should be the best selling car in America. Canoes and kayaks fit fine on roof rack. Lots of stuff in back. Back seat is better than previous years VWs. Did I say this is fun?

  Rabbit is a sure-footed ride - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Gregory - September 28 - 8:46 am

  A reassuring, solid ride with all the peppiness youd expect from a car that calls itself a Rabbit. Ive been a long-time Civic driver and the ride quality of the Rabbit really impresses me. The Rabbit is a very refined car and an excellent value for the money. On the downside, fuel economy is not super.

  Reliable but Raucous - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By neil - July 25 - 3:53 am

  I bought an 07 4-door right off the showroom floor, black with the 17" V-Vision wheels (I was hooked). This is my third VW, and the other two (78 Rabbit, 88 Fox) were bulletproof. I compared the Mazda3, and the Rabbit offers far more features, refinement, and power (the 2.5L has terrific torque) for the money. Since October 2006, Ive put 20,000 miles on it (18,000 miles in the first year). It feels like a budget Audi. What sinks it are the rattles (see Suggested Improvements). Ive had it to the dealer once; whatever they did only muted the rattles a little bit for a little while. No new car should rattle this much. Ive had numerous Fords (no paragons of quality) that were far quieter.
