2007 Volkswagen Rabbit Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit are really happy with their cars. They love the smooth handling, fun driving experience, and great build quality. Many reviewers appreciate its customization potential and reliability, with some mentioning a good balance of performance and efficiency. However, some drivers noted concerns about power and fuel economy, wishing for a bit more performance or better mileage."
This car is a very all-rounder, good ride, it handles well, build quality is great, and theres tons of space even for a 2 door hatch. enough room to carry a dresser in the back. For a car this small you would expect it to feel light and nimble, and it is. The steering is weighted perfectly for a car this size, and you feel very confident when you fancy driving as if your pants are on fire. Reaching into the back from the front seat is a little tight, but theres miles of room in front of you, so it makes up for it. The seats hold you in on tight turns, and it never gives you any sense that it is anything less that great to drive in any weather conditions.
August 30, 2008After almost 100,000 miles I still don't have almost any complaints regarding this car. Engine, brakes and steering are great. I have done all the regular maintenance schedules and repairs at VW dealerships and they were very resonably priced, honest and never tried to upsell anything or charge for unecesarry repairs. Unbelievably, the only things I've had to change during the past 100,000 miles were tires, a couple of light bulbs and the battery. Everything still feels as tight as when I bought it. I suspect I will never have a better and more reliable car after this one.
February 12, 2011This car is pretty solidly built. It has the 2.5L inline five, also used by the Jetta. The engine produces 150hp and 170 ft.-lbs. of torque. It is decently quick with a 0-60 time of 7.9. With the help of a Cold Air Intake the power can be bumped up to around 160hp. The CAI also inproves the fuel efficiency and engine noise. Handles great.

October 9, 2007This car has been fantastic since we purchased it in 2012. We are the second owners and have never needed any maintenance on the car in this time. The car has more get-up than most people think, and is the smoothest clutch i've ever driven. All around a great car and has held its value incredibly well.
November 6, 2014G reat for all ages. Built strong and looks clean. Performance wise, this car handles great and it pretty quick. The cost of this car is around 18,000 out the door. this car is very fun to drive. i recommend it to anyone.
March 10, 2009The Rabbit is a great car. While not as powerful nor performance driven as the GTI or the R32, it definitely gets the job done and is a fun car to tool around in. The cornering is really impressive, even stock. Second gear is where the power kicks in. I've found that you get slightly better MPG performance with the ASR off - which is their anti-skid protection. I will say that bringing it into the dealership for it's check-ups can be pricey, but, I haven't had any mechanical issues with it at all for the past 2 years.
October 17, 2008Great car, very customizable never had any problems beside regular work.
January 28, 2021I bought this car thinking I would tolerate a small car to save on gas compared to driving my 3/4 ton truck. Well, I certainly save on gas (although not as good as promised) but I actually love the car. You feel like you are driving a sports car. You can haul a few hockey players and their equipment. The german engineering is precise and responsive. I really think this is the best small car you could own.
January 30, 2013Performance - Outstanding low end and mid range torque. Plenty of power. Build Quality - It's German. Nuff said Appearance - Stays looking fresh years and years down the road. Nice and classy and conservative. Cost of Ownership - Very affordable and worth every single penny. Fun Factor- :-D
January 3, 2010Very fun. Way better handlling and suspension than my old Corolla (I don't avoid bumps anymore). Good cargo room. The back seat is not what it could be, but that's not exactly the point of this car, now is it?.
