When it comes to quality and practicality, Volkswagen cars are among the most preferred vehicles in this type of category. Just recently, the Volkswagen Rabbit became known as Consumer Reports’ top-rated inexpensive hatchback following tests of six models for their next issue. The VW Rabbit outplayed the Mazda3, which is the formerly top-rated hatchback of Consumer Reports’.
The Auto Spectator reported that the VW Rabbit was evaluated next to five other multipurpose small sedans; the Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, Toyota Matrix, Saturn Astra, Mini Cooper Clubman, and the Scion xD.
"With agile handling and a versatile, well-finished interior, the Rabbit feels solid and is a pleasant car to drive. The Rabbit has commendable fit and finish, a versatile interior, and agile handling," says David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports’ Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Connecticut.
Furthermore, the Rabbit earned an "Excellent" total score in CR’s tests. In fact, the Rabbit is the model in the range to notch this kind of rating. On the other hand, the Subaru Impreza and Matrix were graded "Very Good" overall, while the Astra and Mini Cooper achieved lower rankings, although they were included in the "Very Good" range. The xD was the lowest rated vehicle in the group, scored "Good" overall.
According to CR’s experts, the vehicles in this group performed double duty as people and cargo haulers with four doors, large tailgate openings, usable back seats and seating for up to five.
