Roll windows down and up and close the moonroof with the key in the drivers side outside lock. Just turn as if opening the car and hold to roll windows down.
Haha I love that one...its my favorite...I do it on purpose all the time...especially around my friends....they hate that trick now cuz i will tell them to not roll up their windows on purpose so that i can get the chance to roll them up from the outside...
when you push the right lever forward to wash the read windshield, the wiper wipes, then stops, then about 10 or 15 seconds later will wipe again to get any "dribbles" from the window. that's smart. it's something i ALWAYS do in other cars, but i went to do it in my rabbit, and was too late, it already did it.
Heated seats warm more than your bum, they also warm your back. If you have heated seats, you also get heated windshield washer nozzels. Takes off snow, ice and bird crap easily.
4 wheel Anti-lock brakes are standard. Also includes ASR (anti-slip regulator) standard. ASR is a traction control system that makes the car very fogiving even in the snow. Some even have ESP, no, you can't read the other driver's mind, but it will make the car very forgiving and the car will go where you point it even in incliment weather.
Electromechanical Steering. Not only does this not rob power from the engine, but also compensates for road crown and cross winds. Oh, and if you run out of gas you still have power steering.
Front Passenger seat folds flat forward. Yes, with the rear seats and the front pass seat down you can carry a windsurfer in the Rabbit. You can also use the seat folded as a baby changing table. Yep, It works. Just put a baby blanket on the back of the seat and change away.
both the glove box and the center console can be cooled to 60degrees. Great for keeping your girl's makeup from melting or keeping your favorite beverage cool. Maybe even M&Ms
Super strong door hinges, Compare to a civic or corolla. HA! Can easily support 200 pounds on the door when open. Yea, I show customers this all the time.
3 position front doors.
1st position - allows you to get out when parked close to another car.
2nd - normal in/out position
3rd - Go ahead, load that TV or let Granpa get to the seat with his walker.
The seat height adjusters and the 90degree opening doors are great for bringing elderly people.

pinch protection on all windows. For security, you can override the pinch protection by continously lifting up on the switch. (in case someone is trying to grab you).
