Interior quality, driving dynamics and individuality are still Jetta strong suits. Now that prices are down and roominess is up, Volkswagen’s perennial best-seller can even appeal to your practical side.
The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta’s 115-horsepower base engine is the weakest in the category, and the lower prices still don’t qualify the Jetta as a value leader (but its historically strong resale values don’t hurt). Tech-savvy buyers wouldn’t be wrong to expect more from the Jetta.
