Why it stands out
The 2017 Volkswagen Jetta distinguishes itself with a balanced combination of performance, comfort, and value-for-money. As the final model of its sixth generation, it refines features by reducing the number of trims and enhancing safety systems—such as making a reversing camera standard across all trims. The Jetta's strong fuel efficiency, with an impressive 28 mpg city and 38 mpg highway using its 1.4-liter turbo engine, is a significant draw for buyers focused on value. Drivers appreciate its smooth ride and sporty handling, making it a fun choice for those who value driving experience. While some may find it lacks advanced features in lower trims, the overall build quality and spacious interior contribute to a compelling compact sedan option. Additionally, with an expert rating of 7.5 out of 10, it scores well across various categories, including technology and safety, making the Jetta a solid choice in its segment.
