What Edmunds Says

The Jetta offers a near ideal balance between ride and handling, and premium cabin materials make it one of our top recommendations to small-car buyers.

Pros

Powerful turbo engines, fuel-efficient TDI power plant, fun to drive, comfortable ride, rich interior materials, loads of standard safety features, excellent crash test scores, solid build quality. Cons

Cons

Tight rear-seat legroom and weak base four-cylinder on old model, somewhat bland styling on new Jetta.
