Volkswagen Jetta Overview Overview: For more than two decades it seemed every college student from California to Maine wanted a VW Jetta because it was cool. No more. The all-new Jetta is more reminiscent of a Japanese family sedan than the bargain BMW it was. But we didnt say that was a bad thing. The Jetta is based on a rigid new platform. Under the hood is a new 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine with 150 hp or a 2.0-liter turbochaged Four that makes 200 hp. Inside, the Jetta is fitted with rich-looking, soft-touch materials. The cars interior is easily the best in its price class. Drivers Notebook: The new Jetta feels solid and weighted out on the road. Much of that composure comes from its fresh, independent rear suspension, complemented by an electrically boosted steering system that feels more mechanically enhanced than most. The turbocharged four-cylinder is the one to choose if you want your Jetta to hustle. Bottom Line: No longe synonymous with the American college student, the new Jetta is a better car in every way.
