A popular (best-selling european car in america, y0!) Volkswagen product in a state of controversial evolution. At one time the 'family rabbit' with wicked Fox-inspired shoebox styling and less weight than a new Mini was blessed with about the most crisp and awesome handling to ever grace an economy car - in the early '80s, that is. (Try an '84 GLI, it's impossible not to like. Unless the car has 275k miles on it on an un-rebuilt engine and massive rust perforation. I still liked it.) The Jetta continued this fruitful path into the early '90s, gaining slight weight but also better features, more displacement and of course the option of the 16V engine.
Beginning in the '90s, this once-deadly car began to reek of yuppiedom... soon sports supsensions and trim levels weren't exactly (115hp... GT package, my ass) that and faux-luxury gimmicks like mandatory central locking/alarms, road-dulling power steering and Trek/K2 accessory packs. The storm clouds culminated to produce the A4 edition in 1999, with chromed knobs, beautiful interior trim and heated seats diverting might-be true enthusiasts from the car's amazingly potbellied 3000 lb. weight and chronic nose-heaviness resulting from VW's need to put bigger and bigger engines in the front of their blimpier cars. The Jetta now inhabits a land where the throttle no longer operates linearly, body roll is king and automatic transmissions are the norm. Contrary to the thoughts of many, VW sold their soul not with the death of the Super Beetle and abandonment of the air-cooled engine, but with the aspiration of acceptance in yuppiedom.
But hey, at least Jetta drivers don't cut me off as often as BMW drivers, eh? :)

Honey, I'm going to take our new Jetta to Starbucks to try the new flavor of vanilla-chai frappucino, OK?

A car that debuted in america in 1980. All a1 jetts were produced in germany and weighed around 2000 pounds, generally lighter than 2000lbs. The car is small economical, easy to work on, and very reliable. 1984 was the last year for the a1 jetta, which could come with a 1.6 diesel, or 1.6 turbo diesel motor, each easily capable of 50+mpg. The more common jetta featured a 1.7l gas motor, and the sport model came with a peppy 1.8l jh 4 cylinder, and a close ratio 5 speed transmission. In 1985 the jetta got a redesign a little bigger, but still a jetta. Optional motors were the 1.6 diesel, 1.6 turbo diesel, and 1.6 ecodiesel, various 8v gas motors, and a 1.8 or 2.0 16v motor. in 1993 the mk3 jetta debut, really this car is extremely to heavy, and i would only ever consider an mk3 as a daily driver. anything after the mk3 is pretty useless to even think about

A pleasant but benign series of Volkswagen sedans designed, but not always assembled, by Germans. Notoriously thought to be wildly faster and more impressive than they are, particularly among males under 25 who have yet to drive a wide array of actual performance vehicles.
The Jetta is popular in North America (and is seen as crucial VW strategy there) because the Golf lacks a trunk, and in turn lacks a certain degree of cache among those over 25 (who think a hatchback makes them look like they're fresh out of college).
Celebration of the Jetta is a testament to a peculiar facet of the human condition that permits us to place the mundane and satisfactory on a pedestal, whenever it's all we know.

A car manufactured by Volkswagen (VW).
In Germany, the land of chocolate, and also the home of VW nobody ever bought a Jetta.
People buy real German cars in Germany and so we don't buy this crappy variation of our otherwise superior and super fast (talk about Autobahn) automobiles.
In the States and Canada however people think that Jettas were cool German cars so they buy them - because most of them a probably too cheap to get a Passat, A4, or A6.

American conversation:
"Hey yo so I gots them cool German wheels."
"Sweeto-meo it's them Jetta."
German conversation:
"So Heinrich I bought myself a sweet Jetta."
"Oh well Gustav you fag, I own an Audi A4 and it eats your Jetta anytime on the Autobahn."
"But...but...my Jetta does 60 mph."
"See Gustav, my A4 does 250 Km/H, which is by the way the regular travel speed of Germans. You think your 60 mph impressed me?"

A fairly nice car that is unfortunately very popular with idiot wannabe tuners. Lots of Jetta owners will talk about nothing but how "superior German engineering" makes their car amazing and how much Civics suck, despite the fact that Jettas generally have the same amount of horsepower as Civics, if not less.
Jetta driver: "LOL MY 105HP JETTA WILL BEAT YOUR RICE ROCKET ANY DAY!!!!1"
Civic driver: "Dude, I drive a Civic for the gas mileage. I know my car's not a race car, which makes me smarter than you, apparently."
