The Jetta delivers confidence-inspiring handling, roomy interiors and
German engineering. Some benefits include:
- The most fuel efficient engine that VW makes
- Lightweight construction (Fewer parts needed)
- Faster cold start time than conventional
diesels
- Lots of low end torque for towing power and
speed off the line
- FREEDOM from conventional tune-ups
It handles well and it's fun to drive. The interior is comfortable,
elegant and functional. Although its exterior design is a little
boxy by contemporary standards, the Jetta TDI combines comfort,
utility and composed road manners, with sinewy performance.
