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.

  Put it in Sport mode and fly! - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By SBC - April 24 - 10:06 am

  Initially, I was drawn to the Rabbit coupes styling, but its performance has been whats impressed me most since leasing it. In Drive mode, its gutsy, in a small car kind of way, but in Sport mode, its a different car! Ive had cars with Sport modes before and have noticed little difference. When I put the Rabbit in Sport mode, its performance is similar to the Honda S2000 I used to drive, with better low end torque than the S2000. I have kept up with Porsches off the line in Sport mode, granted they could roast the Rabbit over the long haul, but the point was to see if the Rabbit was a gamer. It is up for any challenge. Good, and powerful, things come in small packages!

  FunBunny2Love - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By BunnyLover - February 9 - 8:00 am

  I have owned a LOT of cars in my day and this is most definitely at the top of my list. Solid(a very comfortable tank), stable, superb handling with 16-inch tires, 6-speed auto shifts effortlessly and almost imperceptibly, great acceleration, and a genuinely fun driving experience. Fuel economy is in keeping with what the vehicle offers in the way of horsepower and performance. I drive mostly highway and get about 30 mpg with a spirited driving style. As to my ratings, I would be hesitant to give anything a 10, which would mean it was perfect.

  This VW is in a class of its own! - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By J. Hall - January 23 - 4:13 am

  First of all, let me start by saying how much I love this car! People have complained about fuel economy, but you have to realize it is a 5 cylinder engine! It is right in line with other 5s. Just look at the Volvo 5cyl and you find the same gas mpg rating! If youre coming from an SUV youre likely to love the mpg, but if not, youll be somewhat disappointed, but you get the extra cylinder and it makes a big difference! There is nothing really bad about this car other than you will want to drive it fast which may cause you grief! It does seem to get a lot of attention and impresses everyone who sits in it! Its a step up in class from Honda!

  Had to Have It - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By vagentlemanjon - December 9 - 3:26 pm

  I just bought my first new car at 45 years of age yesterday, a 4-door 07 Rabbit, fully loaded with new alloys to boot. It has 153 miles on it, so I am in the honeymoon phase for sure. After looking carefully around, I decided the Rabbit was the best value around for about $20,000. It is quiet, peppy, and tight as a drum, with a fab interior -- which is so much nicer than a Japanese interior it is a little hard to believe the price is comparable. My Dad had a 77 Champagne Edition Rabbit when I was in HS, and it was also tight and fast. He was horrible at maintenance, and got 220,000 out of it.

  Run Rabbit Run - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By red07vdub - November 25 - 11:50 am

  At first I didnt know if I liked the new Rabbit, then I went on a test drive in one. I never thought that the 5-cylinder engine would have that much pep to it. They also did the trick with having a lot of features in the standard base priced model. Not only is the car affordable, it gives you more than you moneys worth in fuel economy and the options. I love my new Rabbit.

  Fuel economy - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By 4dr Hatchback - September 5 - 4:33 pm

  The sticker fuel consumption states 22 city 30 highway. My average city has not been more than 20 and highway not more than 22. I am very disappointed in the fuel consumption of this vehicle. Is there anything I can do? The dealer has no suggestions.

  Why do rear brakes wear out so soon? - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Ricardo M. Huerta - August 24 - 6:30 pm

  Today I took my car to have a rear braking noise checked at the dealer where I bought it. I knew the problem was with the rear brakes but I didnt figure it to be worn out brake pads and worn metal to metal with less than 20k miles. The front brake pads hardly show any wear at all and now I must spent over $300.00 to fix the problem. Dealer service says that rear brakes wear out twice as fast as the front brakes on this model. Ive always known the front to rear wear ratio to be the opposite and more like 3 front repairs for every rear repair. Front brakes handle about 70% of the stopping for most vehicles and are therefore always thicker. Ive had other cars so why the quick wear out?

  Great Car to Drive - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By JpL322 - July 18 - 11:20 am

  This is the first VW I have owned and my previous car was a 91 Honda Accord. I love the preformance of the 2.5L engine paired with the manual transmission. The interior is deceptively roomy to me (62"). The quality of construction is the best that I have seen from all of the car companies I have shopped (Dodge, Chevy, Honda, Toyota). This car is by far exceptional in quality, options, and preformance for the price.

  got 2 bunnies - 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit
  By Dave A - July 11 - 9:40 am

  I am on my 3 VW, I now have 2 07 Rabbits , 6 speed autos with 16 inch alloys. Both cars have performed flawlessly and have served me well. Gas mileage between 25 and 30 if you keep it on the highway. Little cars will get you in trouble with ability to exceed 125 mph 32,000 on one 24,000 on the other. Very safe cars, Germans are the best at this, why I got one for my wife and daughters.
