Volkswagen

2012 Volkswagen Jetta is one of the successful cars that the German car maker Volkswagen Group has manufactured. This is basically a small family car. Volkswagen sells a car named Golf which has been a great success all over the world. Golf is a hatchback. Jetta is a modified version of Golf. It is also a small family car but it is marketed as a sedan i.e. next to the Golf brand. Over the period of time, the car has seen changes in its built and features. The version we are presenting a review of is the new 2012 Volkswagen Jetta. It is worth noting that the sales of Volkswagen Jetta have increased in the US substantially, to put it into perspective, as much as 74% after the recent cut downs they have done to the car. The new 2012 Jetta is a trimmed down version because of which its price has sloped down. This is becoming the reason behind the people flocking to VW showrooms to buy a Jetta. It is giving a stiff competition to the likes of Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. The new Jetta comes with the option of four engines which are a 2.0 liter four cylinder gas engine with 115 hp of power, a 2.5 liter engine which is capable of generating 170 hp of power and the maximum torque generated is at 177 pound feet, another 2.0 liter four cylinder TDI but clean diesel engine that can deliver 140 hp and another option which is a 2.0 liter turbo four cylinder GLI engine that can crank out 200 hp. All of these engines give a proper combination of performance and efficiency. When it comes to trannys, the gas engines give you only a standard five speed manual transmission or a six speed tip tronic auto transmission. On the other hand the GLI and TDI engines can get you a tip tronic six speed DSG auto transmission or a six speed manual transmission. The 2.0 L engine can deliver 34 highway mpg.
