1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Reviews
| “The Rabbit's Still Hopping” This is a great car. Its 74 hp engine feels as if it's got much more power. The German build quality is solid; after all these years, there are only minor squeaks. It's very fun to drive, especially with the radio on and top down. The Giugiaro styling catches your eye again and again. I recommend this car to anyone!
Pros —
Fun! Great gas mileage (35 mpg), beautiful, stylish body.
Cons —
no hatch accessibility, no cup holders

| “Fahrvergnugen....” Just like the German word says "driving pleasure". This VW Rabbit diesel was an awesome car, even though I didn't own it for long, it was very exciting driving it, may be because it wasn't allowed on the road for the time I owned it :-)... It was in the first few months I immigrated to Canada, when I purchased this car. It needed a new fuse panel and wiring harness. After estimating the cost for this repair I quickly decided to sell the car. So I went down to the harbor, found some Russian fishing boat and not long after we were loading the car aboard the ship, the main engineer bought it. For me it was quick $200 made and getting rid of some headache. We'' it was fun while it lasted...
Pros —
Great ride, a true VW. Many of the electrical components didn't work, but who cares, engine performed excellent. I'm sure some Russian VW gurus fixed it and sold it for profit.
Cons —
Dunno, owned it very short time...
