Used 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit S PZEV 4dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Love my new Bunny
I just got my new bunny a week ago, I love it. It got its baptism, not by fire, but 8 inches of snow. My previous vehicle was an '00 Tracker, 4WD, and I was concerned about not having the 4WD. I was pleased with the traction control, having not driven FWD for years. Very pleased with everything. I currently have 242 miles on a little less than 3/4 of a tank gas. I think the mileage will be fine. In summary, Farfegnugen!! I never thought I would own a VW.
The Hare Lost in Tortoise in the Hare never forget
So I can tell you right now after driving a Mercedes E Class... this car was a major upgrade. When I first got it I fell in love how zippy it is. It’s super easy to drive and I feel really in control. Even thought I’m only 5’8, I have long legs and arms so it took sometime to get used to because it’s small in there. The driver seat slides back and forth so it’s kinda hard to get the exact comfy spot. Seats are kinda awkwardly shaped so it can be annoying long distance. Mileage is pretty average but the freeway miles are really good. It doesn’t come with an aux cord which is pretty annoying but the CD player is amazing. Just saying this car is low to the ground, I didn’t notice after a while but like it felt like big cars and trucks couldn’t see me sometimes. Breaks are amazing. Overall I had an amazing time driving this car. But to be honest it’s so damn expensive to fix every little thing. I spent much more trying to fix this car then what I paid for it. I’ve had it in my owner ship for 2 years and it’s at about 147000 miles. The problems and repairs don’t stop coming and they are very expensive because they usually have to take out the whole engine to get work done on it . Just after my two year anniversary I can’t get this thing to pass smog because the “secondary air meter” cannot be reset. So the car can’t even be smog tested. Such a disappointment and a heartbreak after investing. This car is great for sharp turns and slick u turns but it’s not affordable to maintain compared to the value of it. Not even the dealership could help me reset the meter and said this an issue with my car (not sure for other people) but I’m [non-permissible content removed] outta luck and I have to scramble to get this off my hands and get very little for it. I will miss this car but it’s time to move on
