How come in the commericals they show a multi colored car.. How gay is that?

 

They were trying to show rabbits breeding, but I'm sure you already picked up on that. As far as multi colored, they mad some really lame looking hatchbacks in the early 90's I think it was that were blue, red, and yellow painted squares all over them. Hideous paint jobs.

 

I actually think it looks pretty cool with all the different colors on it. I like that commercial, it's so many of the same car!

 

They're definitely neat little cars, friend and I went to the dealer see if we could drive one yesterday and they've already sold all the ones they had in. Friend wants to get rid of his '03 Blazer Extreme for the Rabbit to save on gas money. Hope they come out with a TDI version.

 

Read this for all your multi coloured VW questions....

Those are the ones I was referring to.

 

they look pretty good and starting at 14k, with 150hp and 170tq i think the bases will see some competition.

 

Yeah, unfortunately they're assembled in Mexico and have really bad reliability ratings.

 

5 year / 60,000 mile warranty however.

 

warranty!!!! greatest thing ever!!

 

When a daewoo has a 10 year 120K mile warrenty on it that really speaks chapters about how the car will most likely hold up to just being driven.

ANd the multi colored body panels were Calico rabbits. lol. I actually thought that was rather clever on VWs advertising dept.

 

And you'll need every bit of it. I figure at around the 30 day mark that your VW is in the shop, you'll be wishing you hadn't bought it.

 

the harlequin is an awsome Volkswagen. I'm not sure if volkswagen plans on putting out a gray scale harlequin look alike for the rabbit or not. it really doesn't look too bad iidont think. but it's not a performance car so i'm not really that interested in it.

 

Rabbits!!!!!!

 

I think that it was actually each bodypart was a different color... I only ever seen one of them...

 

I'd love a nice lil TDI Rabbit.

 

For all thsoe people that claim bad reliability, those figures refer to the older 1.8t motors with the MAF, coilpack and coolan temp sensor failures. The Rabbit has a somewhat new 2.5l I-5 that is actually half a Lambo motor. The I-5's are extremely reliable, same as the older 2.0 and 8v's.

I had a '01 GTI VR6 and that thing was extremely reliable, even when it operated on 4 cylinders (stupid coil packs).

 

If he wants to get a rabbit to save money on gas he should jus get the Cobalt SS/SC. They get the same mpg but the Cobalt is a lot faster. I think that the mpg is pretty pathetic.

 

It's true. I can't remember the exact numbers but the Rabbits fuel mileage is pretty disappointing from a little car like that.

 

29 hw 22 city. The Cobalt get one more mile on the highway. I was thinkin bout gettin one but thats sad from a light and weak 4 cylinder.

 

5 CYL

 

give it a minute.....youll think of it eventually....

 

these were released like 4 days after i got my balt, i was pissed, i would gave that a good look over
