2009 Volkswagen Rabbit S Hatchback 4D Standard Features
2009 Volkswagen Rabbit
KBB.com Review
Tangible German lineage and an exceptionally high level of interior fit and finish for this price combine to make the Rabbit the most sophisticated sub-$17,000 vehicles on the road. Compact SUV-like versatility provides practical appeal.
While it’s very much a German car from behind the wheel, the Rabbit isn’t as much fun to drive as some of its competitors, particularly the Mazda MAZDA3. The MAZDA3 also offers features not available on the Rabbit, such as leather seats, on-board navigation and a Bose audio system.
