The Mk. V GTI is a fun car, but not worth owning. 2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Anonymous The Mk. V GTI is a very fun car to drive. It strike an excellent balance of speed, handling, and practicality. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member4796 4-wheel drive gives absolute confidence under all non-winter conditions. Drive stupid fast (100+) on long sweeps in lousy wet weather with complete composure. Never white knuckles at my skill level. Car has higher limits. Even OK (with care) on ice. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in California, United States Classic mature styling. Most cars in this price range either look cheap inside, or like something designed to appeal to 16 year olds. The Rabbit just has a nice simple elegant dash with brushed aluminum accents, ergonomic controls, and good placement. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member4246 Easy access to spark plugs for replacement, cast iron engine for longevity, timing chains are a tossup - they should last a long time, but when they go, they will be too expensive to replace. Doors are over-engineered and strong - you can swing from them. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member4234 Sporty without being too boy-racer. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member3328 Great 2.0l turbo engine, very torquey, no turbo lag at all, nice engine sound. |
|
2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Rhode Island, United States The engine performance is very exploitable but not overwhelming. The DSG transmission exploits all of the engine’s strengths of a wide torque band and quick response. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member2709 This is one of the main things that turned us off from the Fit. The interior on the Rabbit just seems more solid, of a higher quality, and a lot quieter ride. The front seats are incredibly comfortable and adjustable. |

|
2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Washington, United States Dealership wanted many thousand above the invoice for the vehicle. Treated me poorly based off of how young I look (just graduated college). Pushy tactics. |

|
2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States The narrow angle VR6 is a spectacularly smooth engine once warmed up. Paired with the tuned exhaust system it makes Porsche-esque noises and has strong, turbine like response in the midrange revs. Just enough power to keep you from getting into trouble. |
