2011 volkswagen jetta Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...With either transmission, estimated fuel economy stands at an excellent 30/42/34. Safety: The 2011 VW Jetta comes standard with traction and stability control, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. All Jettas have antilock brakes with brake assist; however, the S and SE have rear drums. The SEL and TDI get rear discs. In Edmunds brake testing of an SEL, the Jetta came to a stop from 60 mph in a better-than-average 117 feet. Interior Design and Special Features: The 2011 Jetta has a disappointing interior, something we've never said about a Jetta before... |

2002 Volkswagen Jetta Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Steering-wheel controls for stereo and cruise functions are optional. Under the Hood The GL and GLS sedans come with either a 115-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged, 1.9-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder diesel rated at 90 hp. The 150-hp engine from 2001 was replaced with a standard turbocharged, 180-hp four-cylinder gasoline engine on the Jetta GLS 1.8T model. The 172-hp, 2.8-liter V-6 used previously in the VR6 edition will stretch to 201 hp for the 2002 model year. A standard five-speed-manual and optional four-speed-automatic transmission are available, but the Jetta... |

2012 Volkswagen Jetta Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...In this class, I still prefer the Mazda3's manual transmission, but the Jetta's more than gets the job done. Teamed with the manual transmission, the inline-five-cylinder has some unpleasant power characteristics. It doesn't pull with much authority at lower rpm, but as you approach the 3,000-rpm mark on the tachometer the engine starts to pull strongly, like a turbo has just kicked in, even though it doesn't have one. This definitely enlivens the driving experience, but more linear power delivery would be preferable for everyday commuting; the on/off nature gets old quickly. The automatic... |

2004 volkswagen jetta Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...all Jetta models get an updated look, optional telematics and a new and more powerful 1.9-liter TDI engine (GL and GLS models only). The 2.0-liter engine is now PZEV-rated, and the GLX trim is no longer available. Also note that you can no longer get the 1.8T engine in GL trim. Besides that, the GLI sedan sports new 17-inch alloy wheels and the Cold Weather Package items (heated seats and washer nozzles) as standard, while the GLS features a standard Monsoon stereo. The wagons get a revised instrument cluster late in the model year, and the sedans get new metallic trim rings around the... |

2010 volkswagen jetta Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The Jetta TDI features a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine that utilizes VW's clean diesel technology, making this car compliant with all 50 states' emissions requirements. This diesel produces 140 hp and a healthy 236 lb-ft of torque. With DSG, it goes from zero to 60 mph in 8.9 seconds. The TDI shares the same six-speed manual and DSG transmission choices as the Wolfsburg. Fuel economy for the TDI with a manual is estimated to be 30 mpg city/41 mpg highway and 34 mpg combined, while the DSG rates 30/42/34. Safety: Standard safety equipment includes antilock disc brakes, stability and traction... |

Flash Drive: 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDISource: MSN Autos...The big advantage of a diesel engine is loads of torque at very low rpm. The new TDI delivers 236 lb-ft of torque, which translates to quick acceleration and plenty of power at any speed while still reaching 40 mpg on the highway. When combined with the DSG automatic transmission, real-world combined fuel economy is in the mid to upper 30 mpg range. The Jetta TDI drives like a small sports sedan with the fuel economy of a compact, and it reinforces that modern diesel engines are clean, quiet and efficient. The TDI Loyal Edition comes in just over $23,000 with a 6-disc CD changer and heated... |

2003 Volkswagen Jetta Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...A split rear seatback folds for additional storage space. Cargo space in the Jetta wagon totals 34 cubic feet with the 60/40-split, folding rear seat in its upright position. Most controls are high enough to be seen and reached easily. The gauges have red needles, and they are illuminated by attractive blue backlighting. Air conditioning, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and a tilt and telescoping steering wheel are standard. Steering-wheel controls for stereo and cruise control functions are optional. Under the Hood The GL and GLS sedans and wagons come with either a 115-hp, 2.0-liter... |
