I have a feeling you guys would give the car more respect after driving it, the 2.5L I5 is a great engine. The car as a whole blows the doors off everything else in its class that I drove and I got a supplier discount through my work. I just wasn't willing to shell out the extra $10,000 for the GTI.
I'll be getting tint and a clear bra on it very soon and new wheels will come as soon as I find something. Any mods will probably be aesthetic only, maybe some audio. I just need something reliable that gets decent gas mileage during my 50 mile round trips to work and 30 mile trips to school.
Judge, I work with a guy named Bob Edgar that told me to say hi after I inquired as to why he was calling my old car the â??Wampler mobileâ?.

I hope you dont have any payments on it tho.... because a new built trans is only what? 2500 max?
no, he couldnt have upgraded to the GTI, thats a [censored] RABBIT!
Call me lame... but I want one... 2.5L I5 pushing 150 horses, 170 ft/lb of torque, gets 34 miles to the gallon, isnt really that heavy... I also like the fact that they are starting at $14K and probably will hold that value fairly well. the ONLY reason why im a little dissapointed in the rabbit is because they didnt offer the new one with a diesel... I mean thats what the rabbit was known for. Either way, im interested, although I would have gotten the 17 inch rims and the ground effects package... Ive always had a thing for hatches...
Diesel emissions have become more stringent, there will be a TDI next year with the new cleaner diesel.
