Volkswagen Jetta
The seventh generation of the Jetta compact sedan excels as a fuel-efficient and comfortable road-tripper, averaging 6.9-7.1 L/100 km depending on the model. The turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine under the hood (158 horsepower) can be mated to either a manual or automatic transmission. A sportier alternative is the Jetta GLI, which replaces the rear torsion beam with an independent setup and boosts output to 228 horsepower.
