2007 Volkswagen Rabbit review from North America
"I am really enjoying it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with this vehicle. I have had it less than a month.
The gas mileage is okay, but not great. I average 25 mph mixed city/highway
General comments?
The car handles nicely. This engine is certainly no dog.
So far in snowy conditions the ASR (anti slip reduction) braking element have been helpful in slush and ice.
I am enjoying the heated seats at minus 32 degree F weather conditions, as well as the heated window wash nozzles.
I love having a sunroof. The sunroof has many settings. It opens to several degrees. You can just crack it to having it completely wide open, and any combination of tilt up and open. The sun screen below the window also has a vent opening if you want the window open, but wish to have the light blocked or more privacy.
I love the lighting in the instrument panel.
The stereo is decent (6 CD in dash), it doesn't sound too tin can like or muffled.
I feel that it has a good safety record and plenty of airbag support for a smaller car.
