2009 Volkswagen Rabbit Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners really enjoy the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit for its spacious interior, fun driving experience, and solid performance. Many appreciate the car's power, especially when merging onto highways or driving up hills. However, some drivers noted that the fuel economy isn't the best and the back hatch can be tricky to close. The build quality and handling are often praised, making it a practical choice for city driving."
Ive had two with zero mechanical issues, would definitely recommend
July 20, 2025One test drive and you will see. great pick up, easy to merge onto highways, just enough cargo space and the back seat is comfortable. This car feels solid on the road even in the winter in upstate ny. I am thinking of getting one for myself.
May 20, 2013I like the way it handles, the way it looks,inside and out. I've always wanted a hatchback. It is fun to drive and 29.5 mpg is big improvement over my H-2 which now sits in my driveway. The 5-cylinder motor is very peppy.

November 29, 2009Really like this car, you never have to worry about having enough power going up hills or passing trucks because this little bunny has a lot of kick. The only annoying thing I've noticed is a bit of a delay from a full stop when you hit the pedal. Build quality is solid, independent suspension is great, you can really hug the corners. It's practical too with a lot of space in the rear hatch. As everyone says, fuel economy could be better but it's a trade-off between mileage and power.
February 22, 2009Does exactly what I need it to do. Its a great starter car, for those who are new to purchasing vehicles. It is a cheaper vehicle...and the interior is outstanding. Everything on the inside of the car fits, nothing seems out of place. Well designed, great materials all around.
September 9, 2009Its very roomy for a small car.. it has manual transmission & is very fun to drive.. smooth shifting & power when you need it.. its a cute car, have gotten many compliments.. good value for price..
October 1, 2022fun car faster then you think the inside has a lot of room and its very fun to drive and gets like 32mpg with a heavy foot and has a good sound to it when you floor it very fun
August 13, 2009Great little city car. Warms up really fast in the cold Canadian winter! Has enough get up and go for daily driving, but certainly isn't a performance car. Great on gas - it takes regular. The back hatch requires a lot of effort to close it properly - there's been several occasions I've had to get back out to close it properly.
January 20, 2009A good car for everyday driving and highway very comdfortable a little bit hard on gaz but Handling and power are more than enough !!!! and of course very pleasant to drive, a way more comfy than the MK2 AND MK3
