Vehicle advice for parents and their teenage drivers
2009 Volkswagen Rabbit 4-Door
Depending on what year you’re referring to, our final back-to-school car is named either the Rabbit or the Golf. The model we’re including here is the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit, a vehicle that will be replaced by the redesigned 2010 Volkswagen Golf. A new TDI turbocharged diesel variant arrives for ’10, as well. The less expensive Rabbit 2-Door did not meet all of our required criteria. Like its Jetta sibling, the Volkswagen Rabbit 4-Door delivers an upscale feel at an affordable price, not to mention the Carefree Maintenance program and a surprising amount of interior space.
