2009 Volkswagen Rabbit review from North America
"A good little car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems yet.
General comments?
Gas mileage clocks in around 32-34mpg if I keep my foot out of it.
Great highway commuter car. I've put almost 10k miles on it in six months.
Small on the outside, but roomy on the inside. Four average sized adults can fit without too much discomfort. I fit an entire apartment (minus bed and couch) in the back without too much force.
Windshield wipers rest below the surface of the windshield, so if ice builds up on them while you're driving, you're sunk until you can get out and pull it off.
