Damn. The sucker's just under 3000 pounds for the manual 2 door, just over for the automatic, and I assume way more for the 4 door. Heavy mofo. I guess it needs the torque from that 5 cylinder engine!

asmallsol said:Is this smaller then the Golf? I do like the design but BOOO for the 2900lbs. The old rabbit weighed in far less then 2000lbs.
Celerity said:2000 pounds is a pretty magical number. CRXs are slightly shy of that. Rabbits were more around the 2800 mark at their lightest factory trims.
And oh, those 60 hp motors ... And dog pissing . Man, what is it about those cars that people loved ?
rumor has it it's coming back in a year or twoCelerity said:They should have come up with a new Scirocco.

jimboburgess said:that's the beauty in an older civic hatch. that's the only thing hondas got going for it as far as performance.

and a 2.5 liter that produces only 150hp and gets a HIGH side of 22/30? wow... I am glad we are moving backwards
Terrible motor, shit box design, shitty electronics, 1/2 assed interiors, and the only thing it has going for it is the Trans...... Give up now.
In that price range you can buy a yaris that looks just as terrible but gets much better mileage, hauls more stuff, and is so light that you can actually have fun with it.
3k lbs on 195/65- 15s.....
seriously.... no.
The interiors on VW are seriously some of the worst on the market. Cup holder design in a Jetta...... nuff said. I say what I said about the electronics because I have had to work on 4 BRAND new VW that had shorts that the dealer refused to work on. 150hp and 3klbs well lets be honest here.... itll probably make about 130 MAYBE on the ground and with you in it be about 3200lbs. So itll probably run a high 16second 1/4........ yup BLISTERINGLY fast.Lmao.
That golf looks good, the design is anything but terrible, the Interior is nicer than anything Honda or Acura or Nissan could come up with at almost any price range. Pulling information about 'electronics' out of your ass, and with 150hp probaly like 170 pounds of torque, this is going to be not only a lot faster than a base model civic, but it'll be a lot more fun than any car in it's price range.
You're such B/S it's not even funny. Um, yeah the interiors sucked on VWs pre-98... because they didn't have cup holders! DAMN!The interiors on VW are seriously some of the worst on the market.
