The Volkswagen Jetta has a long and uneven history as a small sedan. It has been known as fun to drive and pretty frugal when it comes to fuel consumption. It’s also been known to have numerous quality and reliability issues.
In recent years, VW has tried to address those problems, while still creating a stylish and energetic car for those who want to drive something sporty, but want practicality and a reasonable price tag.

The Jetta comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 115 horsepower, or a 2.5-liter five-cylinder that makes 170 ponies.
