2006 Volkswagen Jetta Opinons- Review

Volkswagen offers rather generous warranties akin to those from the luxury marques, such as Audi and Lexus. The Jetta comes with a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, along with four-year/50,000-mile coverage for all other parts of the vehicle, and four-year/unlimited-mileage roadside assistance. More luxurious and larger than the four prior generations, the new Volkswagen Jetta packs enough upscale features to appeal to upwardly mobile Golf and Jetta owners, while drawing new buyers into the fold. What's Hot

Superb interior quality

Numerous safety features

Lots of standard equipment What's Not

Dull styling

Pricey with options

Performance hampered by weight Everything! A brand-new car, the Jetta went on sale in the spring of 2005, with the GLI available in the summer of 2005. When reviewing the limited option packages, if you're tempted to outfit the base model with more equipment, consider stepping up to the 2.5. This will net numerous advanced features, including electronic stability control, automatic climate control, AM/FM/CD changer stereo with satellite radio and MP3 capability, and heated front seats. If you're an enthusiast driver, we recommend you go for the GLI, as the base 2.5-liter engine is quite tame.
