Volkswagen Jetta Both the sedan and wagon for everyone. This versatility could explain its continued success in the U.S. market. The Jetta starts life as a sensible way of transportation, but with the right engine and transmission selected, the Jetta can become a real actor.
The Jetta is powered by one of three different engines, a modest 115-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a lively 180-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbo, and finally, for those looking for maximum fuel savings a 100-hp TDI engine and 1.9 liters diesel. Depending on the engine, buyers can also choose from four different types of transmission, five-speed manual or six speeds, and either a four-speed or five-speed automatic. AM / FM CD with 8 speakers, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt / telescoping steering wheel, keyless entry, power windows and locks are standard amenities in the Jetta. When it comes to safety, all Jetta is equipped with six airbags, antilock brakes, front seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters, anti-intrusion side door beams and a steering wheel that is deformable / collapsible upon impact. Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) with Brake Assist is optional on all models.
For 2005, the 2.8-liter VR6 engine has been removed from the Jetta lineup. No other significant changes from previous year's models.
