Volkswagen Jetta Reviews

"Sharp steering response, a taut chassis and a superb driving position combine to make you forget about the wimpy 2.0-liter, 115-horsepower engine under the hood."

"And it possesses all the comfort, roominess and practicality that make this compact sedan as useful as many mid-size entries."

"..the Jetta has an uncanny ability to keep the driver in touch with every undulation and irregularity in the road without sacrificing comfort."

"The granite-like side bolsters of the seat cushion are excruciatingly uncomfortable."

"The interior is rather Spartan, with a hard black plastic dash, cloth seats, manual crank windows and manual outside mirrors. Cryptic radio controls and uninviting plastic texture throughout the cabin were the main negatives."

"The optional automatic saps what little power the Jetta has to offer, and we don't recommend it."

"There's more trunk space than a BMW 7-Series luxury sedan and the trunk lid lifts beyond vertical for easy loading."

"The Jetta is roomier than a Honda Civic and provides more headroom than a Toyota Camry."

"Sporting a powerful and compact V6 engine, thick alloy wheels and lowered sport suspension, the GLX is a poor man's BMW 328i."

"If you want a high-mileage car with room for four, a high-tech diesel engine and a reasonable price tag, the Jetta TDI can't be beat."

"Regular four-banger Jettas are a blast once they're moving."

"Punch the gas pedal at any speed or rpm and the GLX is an instant getaway car."

"Great road manners."
