Likes:
- Interior space (especially back seat)
- Highly intuitive touchscreen interface for stereo/satellite radio/navigation
- Rear end looks more luxurious than flat rear of previous generation
- Ergonomic positioning of driver controls (signals, cruise, sound, etc)
Dislikes:
- Lack of power at lower rpm’s
- Center arm rest is too far back and angled downward to be functional/comfortable
- Phone connectivity non-intuitive and non-functional (in my case)
- Noisy fan at highest setting
The People’s Car
Volkswagen has been in the United States since the 1950’s, and has grown to be one of the largest manufacturers in the world. With the sixth-generation Jetta that is now less expensive, lighter and larger (almost 3” in length) than the previous version, VW is targeting buyers of the Civic and Corolla with the base price of the Jetta S at $16,755. Incidentally, the base is almost $1k less than the 2010 Jetta S. The model I drove was the Jetta SEL which starts at just over $22,000. With the in-laws in town, I was eager to test out the new Jetta over a few days.
