List of standard and optional equipment rarely found in this class
Kelley Blue Book

The 2008 Volkswagen Jetta is a rather luxurious car to begin with, but for those who want more from their VW, the Jetta offers a long list of options as well.

Automobile notes “standard equipment is relatively generous, with a three-spoke steering wheel, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, eight-way seat adjustment, and a 10-speaker radio/CD player. Other features include power mirrors, a split folding rear seat, and a two-way adjustable steering wheel.” They add, “if you're prepared to check all the options boxes, a Jetta can be made very luxurious.”
Reviewers at Autoblog love the Jetta’s iPod dock, which is “not a simple auxiliary jack, but an honest-to-goodness dock for your Apple-made mp3 player.”

There are some interesting deletions from the 2008 Volkswagen Jetta lineup. It no longer offers automatic climate control or leather seats, but a sunroof and a premium sound system are still on the options list.

Conclusion

The 2008 Volkswagen Jetta sports a competitive list of standard and optional features.

Other Choices:

The 2008 Volkswagen Jetta bridges the size gap among compact sedans. The Honda Civic is a close competitor, but it’s not as handsome as the Jetta. It does offer a coupe body style, a hybrid version, and a natural-gas drivetrain, as well as a better reputation for reliability. The Ford Fusion has a nicely creased style, available all-wheel drive, and a big V-6 engine. It shares some running gear with the Mazda6, which gets a rounded new style for 2009, as well as a more refined interior.

    I'm excited for the new Jetta models!

    I have a 2000 Jetta and I love the 2008 model. I can't wait to trade mine in...VWs have always been a reliable source of transportation for me and I feel safe and cute at the same time!
