I don't know why two posters above claimed that the Rabbit is turbocharged (it isn't) and a sports car (it isn't). The Rabbit/Golf is an economy car with a comparatively thirsty economy engine. The 2.5L is unusual sounding, although relatively maintenance free in relation to the Mark IV generation Golf/Jetta that preceded it. I had a Mark III Jetta and it was a TERRIBLE car. Always had cooling system problems. Always had a lousy shifting/feeling transmission. Always had a check engine light on. Always sucked too much gas for the performance it put out.
If we're talking Mark VI GTI, that might be a different matter. But I got into the Yaris immediately after my Volkswagen and unless somebody else is paying parts and maintenance, I won't go back to VW. -SAV
