The sporty Jetta offers an agile suspension and a range of powertrains at a price that won’t break the bank. The interior has upgraded materials and a modern design; the rear seat has room for three adults. The standard engine is a 150-hp 1.4-liter turbo four; optional are a 170-hp 1.8-liter turbo four or a hybrid that gets 48 mpg on the highway. Six-speed manual and six-speed automatics are available. 2015 and 2016 TDI diesels have been stop-saled until further notice due to EPA violations.
