Overview

Picture of 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit The Volkswagen Rabbit lineup was expanded again in 1983 with the addition of the sporty Rabbit GTI, which already had been on sale in Europe for several years. The soul of the GTI was its 1.8-liter, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine, which was rated at 90 horsepower. It came with a more aggressive five-speed transmission, a more tightly tuned suspension, Recaro sports seats, 14-inch wheels, and a revamped instrument panel. Reviewers and drivers alike praised the car for its power and handling, and it even landed on a 10 Best list. The standard powerplant for the Rabbit was a four-cylinder, 1.7-liter single-overhead-cam gas engine that generated 74 horsepower. A 52-horsepower, 1.6-liter diesel engine was also available as an option. The Rabbit came in both two-door and four-door hatchback versions. A Rabbit pickup and a Rabbit convertible were also available. MacPherson struts, large disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and energy-absorbing bumpers were all standard equipment. Other standard features and options included an AM/FM radio, color-coordinated interiors, reclining front seats, a rear window defogger, a wood-grained dash, and air conditioning. The Rabbit, and particularly the GTI, received praise from drivers and reviwers alike for its handling, agility, and quickness. Drivers also noted the vehicle's comfort, fuel efficiency, and reliability.

Performance- Awesome acceleration and good breaking ability,zippy and fun to drive. Also, very fuel effecient. Build-For it's age this car has a great build, only needing a few minor repairs and some tune ups this car is reliable and sturdy. Appearance- Depends on personal taste, in my opinion, with the square angles and straight lines it looks sharp. But add to that the size of my car and its just so darn cute. Cost- This car is affordable! Its great on gas and repairs are cheap. Parts can be hard to find at times but when you find them they aren't expensive. Fun- Is it ever! This car is zippy and responsive, with a tight turning radius and wonderful handling, it is a delight to drive. It even makes parallel parking enjoying! I would most definately recommend this car to any friend of mine, and i do.

Well all in all my 1984 VW Rabbit is a reliable small car. It accelerates very well, good braking and handling. We get snow where I live and with the car being so light 2240lbs winter driving must be cautious, however never been stuck. Really the downfall for me with this car is that there isn't a shop close enough for me to just drive and get parts in the same day, because most of what goes in it has to be ordered and that means waiting at least 3-5 days. But this car is a BLAST to drive!

I actually own a Rabbit Pickup, more like two. It only makes 74 horsepower at the crank but it has a little get up. Even when it runs terrible I got 35 miles per gallon. Parts are fairly cheap but kinda hard to find.

A timeless classic that is equally at home on the commute to work and a good thrashing on a twisty country road. It has typical "Volkswegian" levels of brilliant engineering and quality. Getting nearly 40 mpg doesn't hurt either. Simple, fun and cheap.
