2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by cg_meyer

Interior styling
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.
Ride smoothness
Smooth but not mushy ride. Many compacts feel harsh, the Rabbit does not.
Fuel economy
I only get about 23-26mpg, even on long highway trips. The EPA rating for highway is 29 and I struggle to even come close.
Rear seat room & comfort
It works fine for me, but if you have adults that use the rear seat often they may find it a little uncomfortable for long trips. The legroom is decent, but the seats are a bit hard and not all that ergonomic.
Audio & nav systems
The audio is kind of lackluster. The speakers crackle under bassy music, and the iPod connection picks up noise from the engine.
