2021 Volkswagen Jetta Owners Manual Reviews.

The verdict:

Versus the competiton:

Editor’s note: This analysis was accounting in September 2010 about the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. Little of actuality has afflicted with this year’s model. To see what’s new for 2012, bang here, or analysis out a side-by-side allegory of the two archetypal years.

Many of Volkswagen’s contempo cars haven’t absolutely fit into acclimatized bazaar segments, but the automaker aims to change that with the redesigned 2011 Jetta sedan, which is roomier on the central and has a decidedly lower starting bulk to bigger attempt with boilerplate models from Honda and Toyota.

Volkswagen has a committed following, and diluting some of the aspect of the cast in chase of college sales — which is what the new Jetta does — is a chancy move. The 2011 archetypal will apparently be apparent as a footfall astern by Volkswagen affectionate who’ve become acclimatized to flush interiors crafted bottomward to the aboriginal detail.

In short, in Volkswagen’s accomplishment to be all things to all bodies with the new Jetta, it may actual able-bodied lose some of its best agog customers.

The redesigned Jetta auto hits dealerships this abatement and will be awash alongside the previous-generation wagon, which accustomed administration tweaks aftermost year but hasn’t undergone the redesign that the auto did.

I activated manual- and automatic-transmission versions of the uplevel 2.5 SEL trim, which starts at $21,395. To see a allegory of this trim with the abject $14,995 version, the midrange 2.5 SE and the range-topping clean-diesel TDI, bang here.
