Road Test With an extra cylinder and more horsepower and torque, the 2005.5 Jetta鈥檚 2.5-liter engine provides much needed power to Volkswagen鈥檚 entry-level sedan. However, lousy brakes and outmatched tires thwart an overall positive driving experience. Compared with the previous Jetta, the new model鈥檚 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine offers an additional cylinder, 35 more horsepower, and another 48 lb.-ft. The result is a vehicle that feels adequately powered instead of underpowered. Upon planting the gas pedal against the floorboard, we were pleasantly surprised at the 2005.5 Jetta鈥檚 ability to get up and move. And those 150 horses made it easy to maintain a very comfortable cruising speed on the open road. Plus, with 170 lb.-ft. For an added touch of fun, we usually left the gear selector in 鈥淪,鈥?or sport mode, which by holding the lower gears longer allowed for the best possible acceleration. However, sport mode also brought with it significant engine braking, serving to steal speed at times we didn鈥檛 necessary approve of it being stolen.
Overall fuel economy was a disappointing 19.5 mpg. Those are just a few of the powertrain鈥檚 lowlights. Fire up that five-cylinder and let your ears feast on an unpleasant exhaust tone, common to the industry鈥檚 other five-cylinder player, Volvo. Open 鈥榚r up on the open road, and the engine鈥檚 coarse melody sounds like it鈥檚 coming from a sand-filled tuba. Also chiming in are the wind whistles from the sunroof and driver鈥檚 window, front console rattles, and a fair number of notes from the tires. Those 16-inch Michelins switch from a low hum in normal driving to an outright scream when subjected to aggressive driving, and prove to be the weak link on an otherwise capable handler. On the highway and sweeping back roads, the ride is smooth and comfortable, with all but the largest potholes being quietly absorbed. We did unearth front-end plow when pushing the Jetta in corners, yet there was little body roll, and the traction control was effective though not intrusive.
