2007 Volkswagen Rabbit 2.5 Road Test

Now that the Golf is gone, the Rabbit is free to roam. And roam it does, my base model Rabbit's 2.5L I-5 is rip-roaring fun in the lightweight 3-door hatchback. Its 170 lb/ft of torque provide impressive acceleration, enough to push your head right up against the headrest. The slick 5-speed manual shift lever effortlessly moves from one cog to another and from the moment the driver figures out the clutch's friction point, he or she will want to shift all day.
