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.

  love my Rabbit - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Becki - March 9 - 9:56 pm

  This is my 2nd VW. We drove one in Europe and loved it. The Rabbit has a huge fun factor; only thing I really miss is a sunroof. The gas mileage is good but could be better Im sure.

  Feels exspensive - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By shawn - March 5 - 5:26 pm

  I am completely satisfied with my choice of the VW auto. This car feels and rides just as awesome as it looks. Great passing power, even at 70 mph. Handles the local twisties with pleasant agility. I bought mine with the ground effects and it is worth the money, looks really cool and sporty. I also upgraded to 16" wheels for better ride. Just remember this changes the speedometer accuracy. I cant figure out how to sit inside with the interior dash lights on, without the driving lights blinding away at the same time (kind of irritating). Also it seems there is no glovebox light. Cruise control on the blinkers is less than desirable. The seat adjustments are poorly designed. I recommend this car.

  Great Car - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By jdilly - February 24 - 8:00 pm

  This is my 7th VW since I started driving. My Rabbit is fun to drive and so far has been very reliable.Gas mileage isnt as good as my 96 but the power is much better. Handles very well and is powerful enough to get me out of the way of large trucks and SUVs. Would highly recommend this car.

  Robust economical car - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By well - February 19 - 4:50 am

  This car has proved to be a sound reliable car with good quality amenities such as CD player, power windows, mirriors, doors, etc. Additionally, this car has good low end torque and it cruises and handles very well at high speeds. The car could use a little more horsepower to compliment the torque, but all in all, the car is really good.

  A Blast to Drive - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Chicago VW Fan - January 3 - 2:20 am

  I just purchased a 2007 Rabbit 2.5 5-door on 8-5-06. I went to a great dealer with great salespeople. This is our fifth VW. This cars fit and finish are superior. I am impressed with its numerous safety features - see IIHS for crash test results. Its 5-speed manual transmission is smooth and slick. Its handling is awesome - it really hugs the roads. Its accelleration very pleasing as well - especially with the 5-speed. The interior materials are first class. The rear seat leg room comfy for a 6-footer. Its cargo area spacious. I use this vehicle to drive to work - 40 miles round-trip. So far it is averaging about 28/29 mpg mix city/hwy. This is one well-built-fun to drive-good looking automobile. Hats off to VW.

  The Best Car Ever! - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By alf - December 28 - 7:40 am

  Buying this car was the best decision I ever made! Ive had it almost a year now, and I anticipate driving it at least 20,000 miles. Every time I get in my Rabbit, I feel good. I love everything about the car. The design, the power it gives me behind the wheel.

  V-Dubbin in my Rabbit - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Atomicbri - October 4 - 10:50 am

  Ok I love this car! There is no doubt about it! It drives and handles excellently. I have the auto box and it is excellent. All around this is a great car for the money. I see a lot of owners here saying they are not as happy w/ the mpg and while it is a bit lower, I will take the fun to drive factor any day! I get about 30 on hwy and overall I have averaged about 27 total w/ mixed driving. Overall have never been to the dealership except for maintenance. My dealership is pretty friendly I live in Chattanooga where the new VW plant is being built and so the dealership there just got rebuilt and is top notch!

  The Rabbit is back - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Ben - September 24 - 5:43 pm

  My experience so far has been great. The Rabbit is fun to drive in all settings I have encountered. The gas mileage is less than stated but comes in at estimates at about 60 mph. Oh and the 10 speaker stereo is great! Just be ready for high service costs. Even an oil change is about $50.00.

  Disappointed - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Jen - July 27 - 6:50 am

  I thought I was buying a better quality car. I was wrong. The paint is chipping in a few spots and there are lines throughout the paint that wont come out even after washing, waxing and buffing. Also there are three rattles inside that the dealership cant seem to fix. When accelerating you pick up speed until it hits 4000 rpms then it just stops accelerating. My friends say the back seat is very roomy.

  Love It! - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By VW - June 26 - 10:03 am

  I have over 3000 kms. on it and love it more every day. This is my 6th car (4th VW) and is my favorite by far. I love the handling, acceleration, looks, interior, and especially how quiet it is. It has tons of room inside and I really like how everything is laid out inside. I actually like the cruise on the stick and it is very easy to use (unlike previous Jetta models). It makes for a cleaner looking steering wheel. I have had absolutely no problems so far. It is built like a tank.
