Reader’s Question:

The last time I drove a Jetta was way back 2001. I have heard that there is a remodeled VW Jetta available here in Houston, Texas. What are the major changes for this Sports Wagon from the German Car giant?

Volkswagen had come a long way in producing a vehicle that is more structurally sound and has a smoother engine. I was able to test drive a 2009 VW Jetta and I can say that this one is better as compared from the same model 4-8 years ago. I also give it my highest commendation to the engine performance. With 5 cylinders, it gives a smooth and adequate acceleration that is responsive to throttle inputs and displaces at 2.5 liters. I was somehow surprised by the interior noise, but found out that it’s a big resonating box while moving on the road.

The Jetta SportsWagen has an amazing utility value. The second row seat cushions have the ability to lift and pivot forward for a deeper floor for tall passengers. And if you remove the seat cushions, the setbacks can pivot completely forward to provide a flat loading floor. Its 6 speed transmission called Tiptronic gives a smooth shift and drops to the right gears during hard acceleration. I really had a great time driving around Houston, Texas with the new Jetta Sports Wagen. I know that this is yet to be released locally, but one thing that I assure you, this worth a purchase. I also want to share with you some great deals of car insurance that can be found on this website.
