In addition to the intangible nature of its European roots, the Jetta offers impressive features for the money and a roomy interior. If efficiency is a priority, diesel versions of the sedan and SportWagen deliver eye-popping fuel economy, and like the also-recommendable gas-electric hybrid, is fun to drive.
The sub-$18,000 price of the base Jetta S sedan is tempting, but that model still uses an anemic engine and lacks the features found in comparably priced versions of the Kia Forte, Hyundai Elantra or Mazda3. If all-wheel drive is a must, look to the Subaru Impreza.
