Jetta lingers in the mind as one of the best cars on the market. Like the Saturn Aura, the Volkswagen Jetta presents itself as a dynamic offering. While the Aura is a great example of American styling, comfort, and performance, the Jetta is a superb example of an under $20,000 base priced European sedan. Settling into this sedan is way too easy – the seats can be adjusted to satisfy the shorter as well as the taller adult, the electro-mechanical steering wheel is fantastic, the interior layout isn’t cluttered with nonsensical gadgets, and the throttle power is immediate without entering the aggressive overkill mode. The standard 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine collects more horsepower – 170 versus the previous 150 – in its 2008 version. Jetta is sold in choice of three trims: S, SE and SEL. VW’s 24-hour roadside assistance was tapped after this driver failed to turn off the headlamps. After dialing the toll-free VW roadside assistance phone number, the first question the voice on the other end of the line asked: Are you in a good neighborhood? That’s actually a great first question, and even though responding ‘yes’ left me thinking the wait for a tow truck’s battery jumper cables would be extra long, it was not. VW’s roadside assistance program is offered for four years, or 50,000 miles. The 2008 Jetta SE carries a MSRP of $19,760 and collects per gallon fuel economy estimates of 21 city/29 highway when fitted with the available six-speed automatic transmission.
