All of the Jetta and Golf models deliver confidence-inspiring handling,roomy interiors and German engineering.
The powerful VR6 engine turns the Jetta GLX into a real sport sedan.
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 GLX combines comfort, utility and composed road manners, with
sinewy performance.
The result is a sport sedan that backs up Volkswagen's "Drivers
Wanted" advertising theme. Jettas have tended to be a trifle expensive
in the past, but Volkswagen has held the line on pricing while competing
cars have soared.
Predictably, this policy has helped VW regain lost ground in the U.S.
market, and it's a key factor in the Jetta's rising popularity. If you
covet European performance but a BMW is out of reach, you might just find
the Jetta GLX a more-than-acceptable substitute.
