Volkswagen Jetta
For 2010, Volkswagen has cleaned up the Jetta’s act. The station wagon’s production has been halted, the direct effect of the arrival of the new Golf Family which offers a station wagon. Similarly, the affordable City version has been eliminated. A new Wolfsburg edition, equipped with a 2.0-litre turbo engine and a sports suspension, has replaced the GLi variant. So, what’s left? The 2.5-litre Jetta and, fortunately, the diesel equipped TDI, which has been available here for a year now.
