"Standard on all Rabbits is VW's familiar 150hp, 2.5-liter in-line five cylinder engine, mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed Aisin automatic with Tiptronic controls. The clever DSG dual-clutch gearbox is not available on Rabbit."

"nearly 3,000-pound Rabbit "
Damn, I just read the specs again. It's actually over 3,000 lbs. 3,071 for a manual and 3,137 for an automatic to be exact. That's fucking ridiculous.
