2007 Volkswagen Rabbit FWD Automatic

Model Highlights

Volkswagen's all-new 2007 Rabbit, which replaces the long-lived Golf nameplate, is available as either two- or four-door hatchback, and can be ordered with a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed Tiptronic automatic. Regardless or the number of doors or the type of transmission, the front-wheel-drive Golf uses a 2.5L inline five-cylinder engine to produce 150 horsepower. The suspension has been tuned for both a reasonable ride and a relatively sharp response from the 195/65x15-inch all-season radials. While these may sound contradictory, VW has always excelled at this compromise. Sixteen-inch alloy wheels and 205/55 tires are an optional upgrade for those looking for even crisper handling. Considering the Rabbit is VW's entry-level car, it is Rabbit is full of desirable equipment, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, dual exhaust, power heated mirrors, power locks and windows, air conditioning, a CD player, cruise control, and front, side, and side curtain air bags. The two body styles are nearly identical in terms of equipment, though the four-door has heated seats standard and a better audio system. Options include an electronic stability program, a tire pressure monitor, and an iPod adapter. If your Rabbit has four-doors, you can choose to equip it with a power sunroof, satellite radio, and rear side air bags.
