My friend just bought a rabbit, though I think he got an '08. The thing is definitely quick. Not much room in the back of it though, and he and his wife have a baby on the way.

i think that's a good looking car.
did you drive the gti?
this thing looks awesome:

and as much as i like the design direction of the rabbits, i LOVE the lower, more elongated looking a3.

agreed.

did you ever take out a R32?

250hp, & AWD. It's a speeding ticket waiting to happen....


BDx13 - 10-31-2008 at 03:14 PM

a friend has, but i have not.
apparently, they don't sell very well.

interesting comparison between the gti, r32 & a3:

Handsome rabbit Dave.
I love the R32...
wish I had loot.

Dave - 10-31-2008 at 09:22 PM

yeah really, i wish i could have afforded a GTI, but they cost too much here.

for example, what i paid for my rabbit, in the US, i could have gotten a GTI..... Really sad the price difference between our two countries....

check it out, you guys are lucky
