The combination of Innovative features, Harmony of Design and Impressive Dynamics make the Jetta what it is. Nothing to review with the German Manufactured Jetta. The Jetta is so incredibly calm and composed, giving the driver and passengers a sense of confidence no Civic or Corolla could ever match. The eight airbags and vault-like build play to your instincts of self-preservation, especially when you have to share the road with 40-tonne trucks piloted by drivers who can’t see beyond their windscreens. Throw in the economy and the long legs of a diesel and it seems quite the perfect highway car.
Some hard driving on the Expressway and up the short Wai ghat to the 1, 300m above sea level hill-station saw the Jetta return 12.3kpl. That’s an impressive figure given the spirited driving and the constant use of the steering-mounted paddle-shifts. Plus-minusing through the six-speed DSG ’box puts you in the right gear to place you better for a quick overtaking man oeuvre, especially up the ghats where you need to constantly stick to second and third gears.
Powerful engine. Stylish design with European flavor. Perfect handling. Good fuel mileage. A real style statement with spacious interior. Just a Word to say - - - EXCELLENT.
