A superior car by anyone standards. It is not manufactured in detroit, nor Japan, but by a German corporation. Also being designed by German engineers ensure it a durability and life line that pretty much obliterates the land yaughts preferred by ignorant Americans.
Is the Jetta American? No. Thus it's not made by Ford or Chevy, not even Chrysler? Thank God for that.

Get the Jetta mug.Very cool car (especially the old ones, Mk2 and the rare Mk1), damn fast and sleek looking. The new ones are a little girly, but still beat the doors off of 90% of Civics out there.

Get the Jetta mug.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?

Get the Volkswagen Jetta mug.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
