    This is the ONLY thing I worry about in this entire thread. I've already test driven one and I LOVE HOW IT DRIVES.

    Never EVER buy a car the first year it comes out as a new model or redesigned model. The 04 Tourag s a perfect example of this. Those things are the biggests peices of shit VW ever churned out.....well that and anything with the first of the 1.8t. What surprised me at first is the new GTI with the DSG is bullitproof but then I found the DSG has been in cars over in Germany for a few years. Or you could just get a real sports car like.......a used 300zx twin turbo. Low miles you can pick one up for 15-20K and thats LOW miles.

    With different wheels and no roof rack that would be a good daily car.

    THANK YOU! First person who gets the idea. I don't care about driving fast! All I care about is that it is a VW, it handles well, looks good in my opinion, and it has a good stereo. I don't need nor want to drag race, drift, or race on a track. The most I will ever do is autocross, and I don't even do that much. My Jetta only has 95whp give or take a few, and I have absolutely no problem accelerating in traffic, so the Rabbit should be fine.
    The base wheels are on the one I want because I would get nice aftermarket wheels and save the stock ones for winter. I do need the rack because I carry my bike to school with me to ride around campus.

    if you're on a budget then i would no doubt get a honda, civics look way better then any rabbit and are easy on the gas
    They might be the best cars to buy, but when you need some shit done to your SC, which I have, you try to find a cheap price. It's not happening. Honda= really cheap to fix, probably the pretty much same for most Acuras. VW: still a horrible car to have, expensive to maintain, ugly, slow, gay, made for chicks. But whatever, atleast they probably get good gas milage?????????:idb:

    Whateve. I will take a VW over a honda any day. Take a look at my GTI's interior and you will see the difference between a Honda and a VW.

    Oh and VW's are horrible car's to have, high maintenance costs? Interesting, because I have had my GTI for 2 1/2 years and the only unscheduled maintenance I have done is clean the throttle body and replace a sensor. That's less than $200, wow that's expensive.

    def man, parts for my lex are a bitch.
    that was based on reliability though and i agree with your stance on VW

    if price is an issue i'd go with a honda/acura/toyota
    mazda is pretty good too

    I like the looks of the Rabbit and with 150HP on tap, seems like it has enough pep to keep itself going around town without getting someone into trouble. I gotta agree that I'm not a fan of the roofrack but if you're using it for your bike, then more power to you. Good luck getting your hands on one.

    VW Rabbit = 150HP = Not Entirely Slow
    Toyota Yaris = 108HP = OMFG MOVE!!!

    Chances are that I will never own a Honda... and after my 240sx, I don't think I'll ever own a Nissan again either.
