Agree w/r/t the diesel Rabbit. I had one of these and mostly liked it.
Best features: Roomy and great mileage.
Worst features:
Not a good cold-weather car, unless you have a place to plug it in.
Vulnerable to leaking head gaskets. I personally had to replace two of these, which even then, was expensive (even to do it yourself) and a collossal pain-in-the-ass.

My first car was a 1980 four speed, two-door Rabbit (black with a red racing stripe and red vinyl interior - with hot pink/magenta plastic window turners from the sun). Not a diesel. Great car. My mom and I changed the distributor cap in the driveway (my only major car repair project EVER, well, maybe major overstates it a bit). This is why I like the cars that I like to this day. Heck, I might even consider a new Rabbit after they come out this fall. Loved it.
