Professional Reviews

• “The granite-like side bolsters of the seat cushion are excruciatingly uncomfortable.” — Edmunds.com
• “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.” — Edmunds.com
• “There's more trunk space than a BMW 7-Series luxury sedan and the trunk lid lifts beyond vertical for easy loading.” — New Car Test Drive
• “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.” — Cars.com
• “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.” — Cars.com
• “Regular four-banger Jettas are a blast once they're moving.” — Edmunds.com
• “The Jetta is roomier than a Honda Civic and provides more headroom than a Toyota Camry.” — New Car Test Drive
• “And it possesses all the comfort, roominess and practicality that make this compact sedan as useful as many mid-size entries.” — New Car Test Drive
• “..the Jetta has an uncanny ability to keep the driver in touch with every undulation and irregularity in the road without sacrificing comfort.” — Edmunds.com
• “Punch the gas pedal at any speed or rpm and the GLX is an instant getaway car.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Great road manners.” — Edmunds.com
• “Sporting a powerful and compact V6 engine, thick alloy wheels and lowered sport suspension, the GLX is a poor man's BMW 328i.” — Edmunds.com
• “The optional automatic saps what little power the Jetta has to offer, and we don't recommend it.” — Edmunds.com
