This afternoon I picked up a new Rabbit for one of my kids.
Black, 4 door hatchback, premium wheels, ESP, 6-speed auto-tranny, chromed exhaust tips and a bunch of other goodies. All for around 20 G notes.
The car is a surprise, she will be out of town until next week.
The car is really nicely put together, nice build quality, real solid ride, good acceleration.
We had looked at the Matrix, the Vibe, the Caliber, etc., and they all felt cheap and tinny. The Rabbit feels real nice.
An interesting note, the tranny is made in Japan. Go figure!
