If you’re looking for the reliability and prestige of owning a Volkswagen but need more space than the popular Golf can provide then the Jetta is definitely worth a look. This elegant four door saloon is often over-looked for family purposes as it’s popular with fleet drivers and used extensively for business use. However, it makes a perfect family motor due to its ease of access, spacious interior and classic styling so let’s take a closer look.
Engines range from a more than adequate 1.4 TSI, which offers an impressive 45 mpg. For a more powerful petrol engine, go for the 200bhp 2.0T FSI which will take you from 0-60 mph in just 7 seconds. Or, if you prefer a diesel engine then choose from a 1.6, 1.9 or a 2.0 TDI - all of which have the reliable VW reputation and are great for pounding the motorway. Spend a little more and benefit from the eco-friendly credentials of the Bluemotion, which averages an impressive 61 mpg while emitting a pretty low 122g/km CO2.
The entry-level S trim comes with air conditioning, remote central locking and electric windows. For alloy wheels, iPod integration, and cruise control choose the SE model. Or, spend a little more and go for the top-end Sport for sports seats, lowered suspension and automatic headlights. If safety is a priority then don’t worry– all models come equipped with stability control, and front, side and curtain airbags.
Inside, the Jetta is comfortable and versatile, making it ideal for family use. The boot is vast, with a capacity of 527 litres and you can split and fold the rear seats to for even more storage space. There are plenty of places to store personal items in the front and the rear, including the crucial cup holders and on some models you’ll even get a bottle opener thrown in! The Jetta really offers great value for money – it’s solid, well-built and running costs are surprisingly frugal. If you want to go bigger than a standard hatchback but without the executive looks of the Passat then the Jetta is the ideal solution.
