Volkswagen Rabbit 2008 - British Columbia
Power to the pavement
The Volkswgen Rabbit’s story begins where all VW stories do:
under the hood. Here’s where we’ve tucked 13% more horse
power than the previous model. That’s 170 hp versus last year’s150.
It’s a huge part of why the new VW Rabbit not only survives, but
also thrives on the toughest city streets.
The
Volkswagen Rabbit has either a 5-speed manual or an available
6-speed Tiptronic® automatic
transmission. In either case, the ability to choose gears yourself
gives you control over any situation. Downshift to change lanes
with authority and pass a wild- eyed bike messenger. Or upshift
to leave a bus in your dust. And with Tiptronic®, you can also opt
to let the car select gears for you in “regular” or sport
mode. The choice is always yours.
