2007 Volkswagen Rabbit review from North America
"A well-built German car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bass response (of the sound system) would cut out randomly. Dealer "reflashed" the sound system software.
Several creaks and rattles in the car; dealer fixed them.
Oil filter cannister came loose and leaked some oil (my fault for not securing it properly).
Chrome trim on one of the air duct faces came off; dealer replaced it.
General comments?
Car is assembled with high quality materials and switch gear.
Auto transmission shifts very smoothly with its dual clutch system.
Car is very quiet at freeway speeds, and is very solid feeling at 70 plus MPH.
A lot of equipment for a car of this class and price range.
