Summary

2007 Volkswagen Jetta

The Volkswagen Jetta blends German-bred engineering and technology, good materials and build quality and solid performance in a value-priced package. The base model comes well equipped, with a decent CD player and a host of safety features. Its 2.5-liter five cylinder was bred for American tastes, with lots of low-rev torque, and makes for both a snappy runabout and a comfortable long-distance cruiser. The turbocharged 2.0T can be equipped like a luxury sedan, while the GLI attains sports sedan status. Prices climb quickly, however. At the high-end, a loaded Jetta can nearly double the modest base price, and we're not sure there's twice as much value in the equation.
