In North America, where SEAT and Škoda are not marketed, Volkswagen sought to revive their image on that continent as a value brand, and the pricing of the new Rabbit was a part of that strategy.

While the interior quality of the previous Volkswagen Golf Mk4 startled rivals, and led most of them to up their game in revised/replacement models, the chassis dynamics and all round ability of the Mk1 Ford Focus startled Volkswagen (and indeed other rivals). In order to counter criticisms of the average dynamics of the previous model, it is widely reputed that Volkswagen poached from Ford the engineering team[citation needed] who designed the multi-link control blade independent rear suspension system, the class benchmark for ride and handling. The suspension changes, along with careful tuning of the chassis, led to the Mk5 Golf delivering better road manners. However, this also sacrificed usable cargo space; despite this model's considerable increase in size over the outgoing model, its hatch volume is roughly 3 cubic feet (85 L) less.[citation needed]

The interior quality of the previous generation appears to have been lost, and although still of a very high standard and ahead of other rivals, the Golf no longer matches its in-house rival, the Audi A3.[citation needed] Many believe[who?] the reason for this step back in quality, also seen in the B5 Passat of 2005, is to allow a difference between the marketing and price positioning of Audi and Volkswagen products. The previous generation Volkswagens were generally on a par with their Audi cousins.
