What is the Volkswagen Rabbit top speed?

My parents had a Volkswagen Rabbit when I was growing up and I remember it fondly. I know that VW hasn’t made them in years, but I wanted to buy a newer one for the sake of nostalgia. I just want to make sure that it’s not too sluggish for my liking. What is the top speed of the Volkswagen Rabbit?

The
Volkswagen Rabbit
has a top speed of 130 mph thanks to its low curb weight and a decently sized engine.
The last generation VW Rabbit boasts a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that provides 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. This allows it a 0-60 mph time of just 7.4 seconds while also delivering up to 30 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city.
