Went and second looked a rabbit today.

I had to get a dealer part today. So I took a look at a Rabbit again.
Available was a 2008 Rabbit S 4 door hatch. Stick, red , standard
equipment, Same as a Golf S would of been. It is $18,150. The dealer had
to trade the one I looked at to get it . Because VW wont send enough cars.
( normal business practice) The one I looked at. Had sunroof, bigger
wheels, an all weather package, alarm, $21, 300. I previously drove one .
So I didn't drive it but ripped it apart good. The sales rep kept saying I
didn't know that did that. Everytime I opened up something. He didn't know
anything. Its a damn nice car. With the wrong engine. The nicest thing was
telescoping steering wheel. And the hatch between the rear seat. It put my
left hand on the wheel and my right comfortably on the handbrake. I have
long legs and sit way back in my Golf. I didn't have to sit up and forward
like an old man. Also the rear seat folds down but sticks up because the
bottom doesn't tip forward against the front seats. But otherwise a very
nice car. I almost thought about trading my Toyota. But it has changed my
life. VW does have some goodies planed for around 2010-2013. A new little
car for instance . And they should be back in the diesel business.
