The 2007 Rabbit is really a 5th generation Golf rebranded as the legacy "Rabbit" in 2006. And you have to love a 2007 car with a chrome image of a running rabbit on its back end. It's accurate, too, because the tested four-door car -- also sold in two-door trim -- was one rapid Rabbit. Indeed, for my money, the new Rabbit's performance is the vehicle's signature trait.

A glance at the Rabbit's specifications doesn't get the blood racing: a 2.5-liter in-line 5 with 150 horsepower and a maximum torque rating of 170 foot-pounds coming in a few ticks below 4,000 revolutions per minute. But running the Rabbit on the highway it's hard to keep it under 120 kmph.

Kudos to VW engineers for putting some hopped-up Volkswagen GTI DNA into this 3,100-pound Rabbit, which also features exceptional responsiveness and a fair amount of firmness in hard corners. And kudos for including four-wheel discs (vented on the front), electronic brake force distribution and hydraulic brake-assist. They all combine to make this hare nearly stand on end when you hit the brakes.

Cars.com consumers give the VW Rabbit a 4.9 out of 5

Testimonials:

"For anybody that is looking for a small vehicle to get better gas mileage without sacrificing the space of an SUV, this is the car for you. I have the two door version of the rabbit and I can fit 4 golf bags filled with clubs easily in the back. Even though you sacrifice the back seats, it would be good as a second car to carry groceries in etc Performance wise, the car handles very well, as most VW's do.., very smooth ride yet just enough road feel and superb cornering. It is a little lacking on the hp side but not any where near underpowered. It can easily accelerate into traffic while maintaining decent gas mileage. Has nice low end torque and a pretty nice power band beginning about 2800 rpm's. A very nice commuting car, for those that like to have a little fun as well. It's no GTI or Scirocco , but the 2.5 gives just enough. I test drove a mazda 3, honda civic, hyundai tiburon and a chevy cobalt and by far this was the most complete car. Definitely a must see!"
