All are extended versions to launch the small gate of the Gulf and the last car, while the first panels of the body not to share with his brother sedan you enjoy a little too oily on credit or ten.
Except today Volkswagen Jetta five adults and luggage under a mid-sized sedan. The Jetta is still offer price in a very Pequeno-Coche - like $118TSI with 26.490 for manual six speed, while the Highline $147TSI 37.990 with six-speed DSG gets more equipment that costs more middle of meters around the same price.

Our seven-speed DSG Jetta Comfortline tested 118TSI is located right in the middle of the range of prices from $32,490. He would consider, the Jetta seems boring and confusing, but are probably not everyone looking for a small family sedan, with a pedigree of quality soft polarize and clean lines.
2013 Volkswagen Jetta quality fit and finish make is immediately obvious gaps in the narrow area around the car, and the distinctive VW "hit" If the doors are closed. Inside, there is a soft foam material, which covers the entire Board and the hard plastic (there are many) are at least somewhat better than them.

The design is not as Flash better equipped rivals such as Ford focus titanium ($ 32,990), Hyundai Elantra premium ($ 28,990) or the Mazda3: SP20 luxury ($ 30,990), but there are a lot of accents in metallic-look in the Jetta, the less interesting.

Standard kit on Board of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Comfortline 118TSI contains parking mirror automatically dazzling sensors, automatic headlights and wipers with rain, rear-view camera (front and rear) sensor, pressure indicator low tire, climate control, dual zone climate control, telephone with Bluetooth and streaming music and 16 alloy wheels.

There are also daytime running lights assist and Hill drive, but disappointing, Jetta missed important features such as keyless entry and start, leather seats, a larger entertainment systems and navigation satellites of these predictions can at this price of display and trim level.


On the other hand, it is very spacious dressing room Jetta. Leg room in the back seat is also very good, although the Middle console, transmission tunnel and convenient travel by more than two adults.
Split / folding seats back, but a little uncomfortable not completely falls flat. However, it is to point out that with a capacity of 510 liter pot, the Jetta backend has one of the largest areas of storage in the segment.

There are also a lot of corners cabin Cubby, including storage sites in each door and a drawer chillable. Despite the lack of leather upholstery, the seats are comfortable and well fortified. The driving position is also supported by the full reach and rake adjustment.Volkswagen Jetta 1.4-litre petrol engine is also lower than almost all of his major rivals, but surprisingly, the power is also where outshines the competition.

The trick (s)-Ärmel are induction using a volumetric compressor and Turbo. Twincharged 118TSI "a cracker of a four-cylinder engine, 118 at 5800 rpm, 240Nm reference and foam in butter by Helga between 1500 and 4000 RPM developed." Incurring a quick-shift gearbox 7-speed DSG, the Jetta 118TSI Sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a so-called 8.3 seconds.
The throttle response is almost immediate and acceleration is powerful in March, at least through the first six speeds forward. The seventh is a relaxing ideal for highway cruising.

Standard mode in the car the DSG are displayed as soon as possible in the upper gear to move a fierce determination, a highly economical consumption as low as 6.2 L / 100 km on the combined cycle to offer. There is also the whine of the engine, especially in the area of half-decent. At the same time, it is very good - the cabin noise immunity.
Go to 'Sport' mode and jumps are media travel outside 10 L read performed in the red zone, for a more powerful effect, but at the expense of fuel, quickly on a computer / 100 km can increase.


There is still doubt the DSG if the performance of the unit from start/stop traffic, is considerably better than in the previous iterations of the gearbox.
Direction support electromechanical Jetta set the perfect weight, so that it matches the speed of the vehicle; It is pleasantly speed a touch of light through the city, but the weights of the highway. There is also a decent feedback through the steering wheel.
Volkswagen Jetta quarter in the area and moved with flexible mounting quality, almost old school French in grooves and broken asphalt nails. It is to transform every litter, but in general the treatment is safe and well formed, with a high range of Pirelli tyres the standard measurement.

Security is also well maintained with Jetta deserve complete security ANCAP five-star hotel with six airbags, electronic stability control with anti slip regulation, ABS with electronic delivery the brake and brake assist.
While the Volkswagen Jetta 118TSI as many competitors sedan and ended mid Sizers have price, offers more space than the previous class and stronger than the previous performance.
