1977 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel Test – Review – Car and Driver
My consideration for the diesel Rabbits is two-fold: 35+ mpg and burning waste motor oil means driving for CHEAP |
In the last few months I owned a Diesel Rabbit I used to kill the engine and let it glide to whatever parking spot was easily accessible near the destination, or just parked it one street short.
With almost 250,000 miles on the tach it revealed those vices with a vengeance.
It had a black tail, I had a red head  .
