The 2019 Rabbit Edition is what I want. Not sure its got LSD, but unlike psychotropics, this car transports you to your inner road. Your way of gripping a turn, or changing lanes with only teo looks on your mirror. The wheels give you a strong sense of security which pulls with you with your hands squeezing the steering wheel just right, a posture eager for a driver who likes to lean as they go. I tried out the civics, including a coup. I tried the corollas with their swinging grip. But neither of them have the history of cars which move as you do, holding tight and ready to roam . Neither is in tune, right out of the gates with enough power and tactile agility, the way the GTI Rabbit Edition drives. And the 19 has the improvements that felt like an achievement, lasting for a couple of years before the MK8 arrived on the scene. Ive driven the 23 Rabbit Edition wirh all the latest Golf technology, particularly in the way power is sent to the suspension. I dug it much. However, after driving a standard GTI, which happened to be that gray color you have on the face of this announcement, I am intrigued and excited to test drive a 19 Rabbit Edition. One of its perks is the wheel spoke design and color, a glossy black giving the look of a car that has good power and belies what you might believe how a car conceived on an Autobahn can feel in your hands and under your feet. The automatic is my preferred stick, because of the need to pay more attention to the many objects in the roads tgese days, but I would take a manuel any day of the week, if it was out there encouraging me to try it on. Thank you allowing this chunck of prose to give a little bump in the road of attention. I would really love this car. I would be an ambasador for the GTI , proud to serve as its driver.Oct 29, 2023

This is my favorite car. If you handed me the keys to any other, say, a Honda Civic Sport, I would respectfully decline. This car has everything I need. Its nimble, responsive, and fun. Gas mileage is respectable. Its reliable in traffic both city streets and the highway. I feel assured by the horsepower and the handling. Its an excellent value. If you take care of this car, it will offer you an elite driving experience every time you press the ignition button.Oct 23, 2023
