Fasters, here is article from Parents Magazine thats gives a plug to the Rabbit. The link is also below. P.S. They like the Mazda three too.
Volkswagen Rabbit
Price: $15,565 to $17,565
Mileage: 22 mpg city/30 mpg highway
Family frills: The lovable little runabout from the 1970s is back. But this model has thoroughly modern features: Advanced frontal, side-impact, and side-curtain air bags are standard, along with antilock brakes and stability control. The rear A/C and heat vents in the four-door version will keep your kids comfy, the audio system has a jack for MP3 players, and the handy hatchback makes for simpler gear-loading.
Real-life road test: "This car is zippy. There's lots of room up front, but it's pretty tight in back, so I'd limit it to local trips." -- Mary Hickey, articles editor, Parents
Safety ratings: NHTSA: 8 out of 10 frontal, 10 out of 10 side, not tested for rollover. IIHS: Good frontal, good side.
