dude you are absolutely correct… My little brother had an 07 rabbit with an exhaust and i believe the ecu was tuned already when it was bought, and holy cow that little thing was QUICK. It wasn’t a manual, however the tiptronic 6 speed felt like a manual and the throttle response in every single gear was just absolutely amazing. This mini v10 sounds so good and despite him not taking care of it and eventually destroying the transmission, it was replaced and drove like brand new with a new one in there. 8.9 out of 10, one of the best cars to ever exist. Nice video btw

yep!

2013 Golf owner myself. I love that in general VW's are very elegant in their simplicity. No crazy weird body lines, just refinment.

Got one as my first car in 2019. 6k with 28,000 miles on it!

I've had my 06 Rabbit since 2014, got it at 88,000 miles. It's sitting pretty at 218,000 right now. I've beaten it to hell, it's taken on a 300lbs buck deer and I've got the skull and photos to prove it lol rebuilt it myself. It's my first VW and I'm riding it til the wheels fall off, or this 2.5 finally quits.

Great vid man, this type of good content i was surprised to see you have only 500 subscribers.

had my rabbit since 2020 and I love it so much

Got my ‘07 Rabbit in 2019 for $3000, 170k km (just over 100k mi). Only real problems I’ve had are rust on the fenders and the exhaust and that good ol floppy headliner. I think the engine sounds great, feels great, 5 speed shifts nice (could be a little shorter). I’ve got an RCD330 in mine to get Android Auto/CarPlay/Bluetooth while keeping it looking stock VW. Picked up some cheap used Audi rims for it since the ones it came with were super curbed. New tires and new brakes a little while ago, and a new battery and spark plugs last year, and it runs smoother than ever. Love this thing.

I agree mk5 Rabbits are fucking great. Have you considered getting a tune? I have a 93 octane tune from United Motorsport and it's awesome. The experience of steadiliy pulling all the way to redline with the sound of the 5 banger is quite an experience, never gets old.

I watched this video over a year ago when I bought my rabbit. Granted I ended up with a pivot arm issue in the clutch and that was expensive. Besides that and normal maintenance (coolant flush, spark plugs, oil changes) I’ve spent about 10 dollars on it to replace the pcv valve. Planning on replacing the shocks next year. Maybe stage 1 tune and exhaust for some snap crackle pop.

I've got a MK5 Rabbit - 4dr, 5spd, bought from the dealer (it was trade in) in 2018 for $5.7k @ 68k miles..... it now has 115k and has been literally the most reliable car I've ever owned. It has never broke down/left me stranded etc. The only issue now is it has a little rust but I'm going to fix it. Mine is just grey and 100% stock so it is very boring. Might lower it a little bit and have find some improved wheels (have 16" 2011 Jetta wheels now). Thanks for the video and also helps me see what little mods you have and how you enjoy it too.

I want one of these as a 2nd car a black, yellow or maybe white one haha nice car

Thoughts on the replacement of timing chain, gear, etc? I have an 09 with 110k on it. Has the 5 cyl. Synthetic all its life and no long oil change intervals.

Got my 08 rabbit with 62k miles and now sitting with 200k. Did preventative maintenance on it, only got towed once because of the ignition/steering wheel lock broke at around 170k but other than that very reliable!! I even kept it around along with my 16 vw cc 2.0t

im about to buy one of these

Was the Mk6 radio plug and play?

what intake are you running

Bought mine for 8k. 09 4 door rabbit with 111k

I have a 07 rabbit 2.5 5 speed , I honestly bought it because I was a winter beater but that was 2 years ago . After driving it for 1 winter I’m totally hooked , I have a newer 1500 that sits , every one lol when they see me get out of it but who cares I just like the dumb pos drives . The 5 cylinder is mint paired with a stick it’s so fun. I will buy a nicer cleaner one next

I have an 09 rabbit 2dr, what tire and wheel specs do you have in this video?

Bro why do yall get non airbag steering wheels. I get mod the car, personalize it and make it your own but damn you can’t always predict other drivers. You probably wanna keep your facial structure

What do you think of the automatic version? Are there Any problems with the transmission?

Jetta< 178,000 miles , runs the same, as when i got it at 92,000 had only 3 probs the whole time, rear hub, 1 coil, 1 plug, thats it. Average 30 mpg in manual. Oh ya and the stupid key is still fuggerd, but still worksish.

just bought mine and i live in ohio

5-10k! Wow 😳 in Europe they're pretty much the cheapest a car can get
