Questions & Answers
What people are asking about this car
Q
Do the new VW's (2008-up) have automatic volume limiters on the stock radios?
I have a 2006 rabbit with the premium 7 radio that has an annoying volume limiter. Dealer says this wasn't one that could be flashed to stop the problem. I want to swap the radio with one from a newer VW (maybe a 2008 or 2009 Passat, etc.) its the same fitment. Only want answers from people who know the new VW's, or have one.

A
Check your manual, i'm sure you can change settings for the radio using nothing but radio controls. Why would you need to flash anything that had to do with a radio. I have a 09 Jetta and i changed a bunch of settings for the radio, one of them was the limiter.

In terms of real competition, the 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit faces off against the Saturn Astra, another German import.
With 140 horsepower, the Astra isn't as powerful as the VW Rabbit, but the Saturn comes closest, as far as standard horsepower goes.
Plus, it has that Germanic thing going for it.
The Honda Civic offers more engine choices than the Rabbit, especially if you're leaning toward the green hybrid or natural gas powertrains.
The 2009 Toyota Corolla is especially attractive in its top trim level, but the new Corolla looks less nice in the base trim.
Domestically, the all-new 2008 Ford Focus matches the Rabbit with coupe and sedan body styles, but buyers tend to be attracted to its powerful SYNC entertainment system rather than its homely new look.
The 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit also has to compete against the Mazda3, a perennial enthusiast favorite for its handling, but the Mazda can't match the VW's solid feel.
