If you’re looking for a sedan with European ride and handling capabilities, the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta offers German engineering at an attractive price.
If you’re looking for that "old-school" VW look and feel, the fifth-generation Jetta’s styling doesn’t convey the same sense of youthful enthusiasm as its predecessors. Although improving, VW’s reliability and repair history still lag behind its Japanese competitors.
