Younes Si

hey guys...would like your opinion

I'm looking for something around 20G's...and I've looked all over the place and the 2007 VW Rabbit is just 20G's

Engine: 2.5L 5 Cylinder In-Line DOHC
Transmission: 5-Speed Manual
Tires: P195/65R15 H AS
Wheels: 6J x 15" Steel w/Full Wheel Cover
Front Bucket Seats
Cloth Seat Fabric
Monotone Paint Application
Radio: 2 Din AM/FM w/In-Dash Single CD/10 Speakers

this is what you get..i've also looked at the civic, but I hate the new look of the civic unless it's the fully loaded Si and that's way too mcuh for me....

what do you guys think? good choice? bad choice? what else do you recommand me at looking at around that price range?

Thanks

rabbit ftw fully loaded they are at like 25,000bucks

I too am lookin at one for my new car when I come back...these new v-dubs are pretty nice inside and out, so many subtle things, fit and finish is fantastic...plus the OEM skirt package looks badass

Tego

who's the girl matt?

Younes Si

well, I dont' really need is fully loaded, the one I was looking at was basic, but what I like about it is the In line 5

it was 20685

Cynikal.Mindset

if ur gonna finance or lease it, u might aswell get it fully loaded...the extra 5-6grand ****** over the term wont be that much and you wont really wanna spend more on upgrades later...like c'mon, u know u want a sunroof and big wheels

Younes Si

LOL..ya, didn't really think of that and yes I want a sunroof, but not really big on big wheels..but I want to keep the payments low

bdotdan

you can get a Fit Sport for that price

the new rabbit is nice, somebody in the complex where i work has one

but a lot of people have bad things to say about VW's in general, i would personally wait and see what owners have to say about the car

Cynikal.Mindset

wheel package is only 565bucks
sunroof package is only 1400bucks
cold weather package is 205bucks

$22,855 nicely equipped

Younes Si

ya, I just checked it out, doesn't have anything about lip package..oh well,

man, i was looking at the GTi, but way way to much for me..anyways, i'm going to test drive it tomorrow (the rabbit)

LOL..Fast and furious 1 is on the new A channel LOL

Cynikal.Mindset

lip package I believe is a dealer optional offered item...but its sweet...just look at the 5dr white one on the webpage

bdotdan

can you buy a rabbit where all the body panels are different colours like in the commercial, that would be sweet

Younes Si

I was looking a the 3 door...it's cheaper LOL

Cynikal.Mindset

there was a golf 3 I belive called the "harlequin" and it was all multi coloulred

I was looking at them too. They are are very nice car for the price. Even the base 2 door is a very nice package. There are really only minor differences between it a fully loaded 4 door.

The only thing I'd be worried about is VW's poor past reliability issues. Then again, thats what warranties are for. I'm not a huge fan of the looks, but bigger wheels and a nice drop makes any car look great.

Power is decent and it looks like it is decent on gas. Lots of nice options and features too.

A Rabbit was on the top of my last before the Si came along. Go for it.

bdotdan

yeah theres one of those in Burlington
used to see it all the time last summer

Younes Si

ya...I still have to go check it out tomorrow and see how it looks in person and i'll go from there...

in line 5?
i dont know about vw but the last time honda had that the car sucked badly and was dubbed a failure car.

VAG has had I-5 engines for years with success, so the engine design isnt a problem...the nice thing about the old 5cyl was u could take the intake manifold and cut off a runner and weld up the open part of the plenum and booyah, slap that bad boy on your 4cyl rabbit/golf/jetta paired up with the 5cyl throttle body and you have a serious intake for dirt cheap
