The 2018 Volkswagen Jetta places in the bottom third of the highly competitive compact car class. It has substantial attributes inside and out, but its interior materials aren't as refined as competitors', and reviewers were disappointed with the Jetta's competent but underwhelming performance.
Pros Above-average fuel economy Large trunk Roomy cabin
Cons Lower-rent cabin materials than rivals Less nimble than some competitors
The 2018 Volkswagen Jetta is a competent, comfortable sedan, but it’s light on personality and feels a little old against fresh-faced rivals.
Pros Roomy back seat Comfortable ride Strong turbo engines Clean styling
Cons Very conservative feel Light on personality and fun Best safety tech only on SEL Pricey, especially loaded up
