Volkswagen Jetta review

“Latest Jetta is a marked improvement, but still dull as ever”
Good stuff
Facelift brings big improvements; engines, looks & interior quality are all on the up
Bad stuff
It looks like a teenager who’s been told to wear a suit and tie for a juvenile court appearance. Saloon bodies don’t suit cars this size
Overview
What is it?
Latest Jetta has been updated again ready for 2015; it gets a new nose and new engines, but it's still essentially the same car. You now can't pick a duff engine and both ride and interior quality impress. But puh-lease, there has to be a more interesting choice... In fact, there are. Many of them.

What's the verdict?
“There’s nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Jetta, but why on earth would you get one when the Golf is so much more versatile?”
