The Volkswagen Rabbit is essentially the hatchback version of the Jetta and is available with either two or four doors. Its unique shape not only gives the Rabbit a distinct look, but it also helps make the interior more spacious and accommodating. While the Rabbit is an economy car, the inline five-cylinder engine provides sufficient horsepower and torque. With a base price just over $19,000, the Rabbit sedan should be at the top of the list for anyone looking for a peppy, fun-to-drive compact hatchback. The VW Rabbit comes with a four-year/50,000-mile warranty and gets an estimated 29-30 mpg on the highway.
