If you need more cargo versatility than a sedan can offer, but you don’t want to give up sedan-like ride and handling, the 2012 VW Jetta SportWagen makes a great compromise. Fuel efficient with either the gasoline or diesel engine, the SportWagen won’t make you cringe when it comes time to refuel.
A wagon is still a wagon, and some may prefer the cool look of the Golf TDI hatchback to the Jetta SportWagen’s “soccer mom” image. Those who need better ground clearance and/or all-wheel drive might be happier with the VW Tiguan.
