Volkswagen Jetta

Fuel economy is excellent at 34-mpg overall. The ride is absorbent but can be too tender over sharp bumps. Handling is competent but a bit dull. The cabin is quiet for a compact sedan. Most versions come with faux leather seats and automatic climate controls, giving the car an air of premium ambience. Active safety features, such as AEB, FCW, and BSW, are standard except on the base trim. A sportier GLI version, which shares components with the Volkswagen GTI, is also available.
