Overview
Excellent handling, quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are the hallmarks of the Volkswagen Jetta. Slip the VR6 six-cylinder engine into the mix and the Jetta becomes a quick and agile sports sedan. Completely redesigned and re-engineered last year, the Jetta is thoroughly up to date.

Retail prices: GL ($16,700); GL TDI ($17,995); GLS ($17,650); GLS TDI ($18,700); GLS VR6 ($19,950); GLX ($24,170).GL and GLS are available with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine or Volkswagen's excellent 1.9-liter TDI diesel.
