Ravishing Cars |

Jetta – You get a choice of two engine options a 1.6 litre 102bhp petrol engine along with a 1.9 litre 103 bhp diesel engine. The petrol motor cannot hold a candle to the Honda Civic for refinement. However, the engine pulls well from most speeds, while delivering plenty of shove from the mid range of the rev band, making it a good car to drive around town. The crisp gearbox is a delight to use as well. The other engine option, the 1.9 litre diesel, is shared with the Skoda Laura. The engine responds well to throttle inputs from as low as 1200 rpm, which makes this a good engine for city driving. The best of the power seems to be between 2000-3500rpm, so keeping the engine in this range will surely be a rewarding experience. But, just like Skoda Laura, the Jetta’s motor tends to become noisy as the revs mount up, something that you won’t appreciate in a car that costs this much
