Model Highlights

2009 Volkswagen GTI 2dr HB DSG PZEV

For 2009, Volkswagen's value-priced Rabbit and the performance-oriented GTI are both available in 2- or 4-door hatchback body styles.

A 170-horsepower, 2.5L 5-cylinder engine powers the Rabbit; in 2-door models it is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, which has a Sport mode, while the 4-door Rabbit is available only with the automatic.

The GTI features a 200-horsepower, 2.0L turbocharged and direct-injected 4-cylinder engine that delivers both greater performance and better efficiency than the unit found in the Rabbit. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or Direct Shift 6-speed automated manual gearbox, and with the manual is rated at 32 mpg on the highway. Both the Rabbit and GTI are front-wheel drive.

The Rabbit comes with a wide range of standard equipment for a low-priced small car, including air conditioning, power heated mirrors, cruise control, power windows, locks, and mirrors, and an eight-speaker CD stereo system. An electric power steering system helps bring crisp handling and easy maneuverability in parking lots. Volkswagen's electronic stabilization program (ESP) is now standard on all Rabbits and GTIs.

The GTI comes with plenty of additional performance and convenience equipment, including 17-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust tips, vented front disc brakes, a sport suspension, special appearance cues, alloy pedals, and sport seats. Xenon headlamps, keyless entry, and a six-CD/ten-speaker stereo system are among the included extras.

Both the Rabbit and the GTI offer generous standard safety features. Front side and full-length curtain air bags and anti-lock brakes are standard on both, as well as Volkswagen's electronic stability program.
