OVERVIEW

Totally redesigned for 2011, the Jetta is available in base, S, SE, SEL and TDI trim levels. The new car is both larger and less-expensive in the base trim than its 2010 predecessor. Engine options include a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder producing 115 hp, a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder with 170 hp and a turbocharged 2.0-liter clean-diesel with 140 hp and a very-welcome 236 lb-ft. of torque. Gas-powered models come with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the TDI can be ordered with a 6-speed conventional manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual with paddle shifters.

A solid-axle rear suspension and, on lower trim levels, rear drum brakes take away from the street credentials of an otherwise compelling compact-midsize front-wheel drive sedan. Standard safety features include traction and stability control, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints, plus rear disc brakes on the SEL and TDI trims. The diesel engine bests most cars on the road in fuel economy with 30 city/42 highway mpg.
