Volkswagen Jetta (2006 - 2010) 2.0T Sport FSI 4d Owner Review

The Jetta is an underrated car. Good looking (mine looks fab in pearlescent black, with 17" alloys), it has a roomy cabin, plenty of room for my two children in the back and a boot that is simply huge! The car has several nice touches including a sunglasses holder, fold down hooks on the boot for the shopping and a blue backlit set of dials when driving at night. My sport version comes with lowered suspension, meaning at low speed in urban traffic you notice little bumps but at motorway speed it glides beautifully. It corners well and is a very enjoyable drive but isn't as agile as a hot hatch. However, with the same engine as a GTI under the bonnet it is certainly as quick as one! This car looks and feels grown up but put your foot down hard and you'll get 200bhp growling under the bonnet! My car came with full leather, heated seats, dual zone climate control and the chairs are comfortable and supportive. After 3000 miles and three months of ownership I really do like this car. The equivalent age, spec and mileage Golf cost between £3 and £4 thousand pounds more. Want a really good VW for less? Well, the smart money is on a Jetta.
