Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta is a mild-mannered, well-equipped compact sedan.

Pros
Docile personality
High-tech options
Good safety gear
Styling will age well

Cons
Docile personality
Breaks little new ground
Conservative, almost to a fault
Unsupportive front seats

The 2019 Jetta is marginally bigger than the old car, continuing a trend that has seen the Jetta grow to roughly the size of the fondly remembered B5-generation 1997–2005 Passat. The Jetta’s wheelbase has been stretched 1.3 inches to 105.7 inches, which helps the car maintain its proportions even with an overall length that has grown to 185.1 inches.

Pros
Classy interior,
responsive 1.4-liter turbo,
slick manual available.

Cons
Mute steering,
smaller trunk,
no GLI at launch.

The Nissan Versa is affordable transportation that has an appealing price—especially for students. It’s not quick but it is spacious, especially in hatchback form.

Pros
Affordable price for new-car buyers
Good fuel economy for the class
Spacious rear-seat accommodations
Good-looking hatchback that we like…

Cons
...and a sedan that we don’t
Not much value in S Plus trim
Hollow-feeling buttons and trim
Pokey power

Pros
Both rows of seats have plenty of legroom
Sedan models have large trunks
Tight turning radius
Low base price

Cons

Low-rent cabin
Few tech features

The 2018 Nissan Versa offers a huge back seat and trunk, a comfy ride and good fuel economy. It's also one of the least expensive cars around, at least in base form. If you're a driver for Lyft or Uber, a Versa could very well be an ideal car. But if you're car shopping isn't based on such obvious commercial reasons, the Versa stops making as much sense.

PROS
Giant back seat for such a small car
Rides comfortably over bumps
Roomy trunk
Low base price

CONS
Rearview camera is optional
No telescoping steering wheel
Noisy and slow acceleration
Driving experience, style and personality are all bland
