Volkswagen Jetta excellent handling
Posted by | Under Volkswagen Thursday Oct 29, 2009The Jetta is available with two engine options 1.9 litre diesel and the 1.6 litre petrol. Both engines have two variants Trendline and Comfortline. The base Trendline is fairly loaded with six airbags, ABS, traction control, keyless entry apart from the standard power windows, power steering, defogger etc. The Comfortline gets an additional transmission, leather seats, ESP, 8 airbags, cruise control, 6 CD MP3 changer, electric lumbar adjust, rear centre armrest. Parking sensors and climate control would have been nice. Front centre armrest opens for storage, but not much space. Rear passengers get dedicated AC vents. Bottle opener is part of standard equipment. Jetta’s steering is well weighted and offers plenty of feedback. Passat like tail lights make it look like bigger brother. Road noise is intrusive, especially at the rear. Road manners are excellent and most bumps are kept out. The engine is the weakest link through. The well engineered Jetta feels more solid than the Civic and rides well over most surfaces.
