Nimble in city and country driving, it handles busy street corners and curvy rural lanes easily, thanks in part to the car's european-tuned suspension system and the responsive steering. Increased specifically for the u. Market are ride height and tire sizes. The automatic version is a better choice and shares nearly the same city/highway mileage as the manual. Shared with the jetta and developed specifically for american driving styles, the 2. 5-liter five-cylinder engine delivers the quick response worthy of the rabbit name. The spacious interior is the surprise here. With far more room than is apparent from the outside, the rabbit can seat five as well as provide plenty of cargo space.
