If you’re looking for an attractive and economical sedan that excels in the areas of performance, handling and attention to detail, the VW’s Jetta sedan for 2015 should be at the top of your list. The availability of a diesel engine and a manual transmission further the Jetta’s appeal.
If you’re looking to get the most from your dollar, the base Jetta doesn’t offer the features and modern engines of its pricier siblings. For $18,000 you’ll get a lot more car in a Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte or Mazda3. Those dealing with snow might prefer the all-wheel-drive security of a Subaru Impreza.
