The EPA rates the Jetta TDI at 29/40 with the DSG and 30/41 with the manual. Sophisticated emissions-control devices allow the TDI to be sold in all 50 states. Although they share much of their chassis components and styling, the Jetta somehow looks bulbous, whereas the Rabbit and the hot-rod GTI have a muscular air about them. Unless driving a conventional sedan is a must for you, it鈥檚 difficult to justify the added cost of a Jetta sedan over a Rabbit hatch. 1000 more than the five-door GTI. The SportWagen offers even more practicality and cargo room than the Rabbit and GTI but isn鈥檛 offered with the GLI and GTI鈥檚 sporty suspension. We often describe Volkswagen鈥檚 2.5-liter five-cylinder as agricultural because of its rough sound and unrefined feel. It鈥檚 not a bad engine, but spring for a 2.0-liter engine鈥攇as or diesel鈥攊f you can.
Overall, the Jetta line offers a feeling of Euro solidness and some unique and truly Teutonic options, but it鈥檚 pricey against competitors like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cobalt, and Hyundai Elantra. Still, if you鈥檙e after European styling and a whiff of cheeky nonconformity鈥攐r a small station wagon鈥攁 Jetta fills the bill. Click here for our full review of the Volkswagen Jetta.

The diesel TDI makes its triumphant return for 2009 after being regulated out of existence following the 2006 model year. 1300 federal tax credit), the TDI has none of the commonly held diesel disadvantages. It鈥檚 quiet, powerful, and fun to drive鈥攇iving the GLI a run for its money鈥攁nd it doesn鈥檛 even smell funny. The SportWagen is also new and offers a maximum of 66.9 cubic feet of cargo room with the second-row seats folded.
Stability control is now standard across the board. A cable-style iPod adapter replaces the awkward console-mounted dock. 18,000 for a sedan, which gets you the most basic features, including velour seats. 2500 or so, adding faux-leather seating, a standard sunroof, chrome window trim, floor mats, alloy wheels, and Sirius satellite radio. The SE adds the notable option of a touch-screen navigation system. 3000 more, which gets you 17-inch alloys, a useful trip computer with a large screen placed between the main gauges, a multifunction steering wheel to control said computer and the stereo, and not much else. 3200 to an SEL version. The TDI is priced just below the SEL but is optioned most like the SE model, with the diesel engine accounting for the price difference. 1000 more than the cost of a four-door GTI hatch. GLI models include a standard sporty appearance package, unique cloth seats, and cool 17-inch wheels (18s are an option). Although it鈥檚 on the pricier end of the Jetta spectrum, we鈥檇 be tempted to choose the Jetta SportWagen TDI. The combination of the TDI powertrain and SportWagen body makes for a very appealing and useful vehicle with a definite European feel. And at this point, the Jetta is the only Volkswagen鈥攁nd one of the few passenger cars鈥攐ffering a diesel option, so if that鈥檚 what you want, the choice is made. The GLI is the obvious choice for the semi-well-off boy racer, and the three five-cylinder models are still sportier than most of their domestic and import competition. A tire-pressure monitoring system, electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, and front seatbelt pretensioners are standard, as are front, front side, and curtain airbags. Rear side airbags and outboard seatbelt pretensioners are optional.
Does a VW Beetle make me look fruity? I'm 6'0 tall. 220 pounds. I fit in a beetle NICE! Worrying that my friends will start teasing me. Getting a great deal on one. Yes, you look fruity from my point of view. Only to people with the gain turned up too high on their gaydar. Depends on the year. If it is the 'new' Beetle, then yes (especially if convertible). If it is a classic (example 1974 Super Beetle), then no. At 6 feet, 220 lbs., you should not feel compelled to worry about it. I had a '70's era Superbeetle in the 80's for 10 years. Today, I drive a Honda fit I've owned for several years; who cares what anyone else thinks. They are fun vehicles. Enjoy it and good luck with the electrical system. If you're THAT concerned don't get the vehicle. Go on out and get yourself a HUGE planet killing pick up tuck or SUV. Preferably something that gets the WORST mileage. Only if it is pink.
