Why it stands out
The 2016 Volkswagen Jetta differentiates itself in the compact sedan market with its blend of performance, fuel efficiency, and spaciousness. The new 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine replaces the older 2.0-liter unit, delivering better power output—150 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque—while also achieving up to 39 mpg on the highway, making it competitive with other top models like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Owners appreciate its solid feel and enjoyable driving experience, as well as the roomy interior, although some have noted the lack of modern features such as a standard backup camera. Enhancements for the model include a new touchscreen interface compatible with smartphone integration. Critics recognize the Jetta's exceptional safety ratings and a spacious trunk at 15.7 cubic feet, solidifying its reputation as a practical choice for discerning buyers in the compact category.

It’s Comfortable, gas efficient yet turbo powered, modern features, good value with a lower price. I’d say it’s similar to a VW Passat but smaller. But it does not have a sun/moon roof.
