ConsumerGuide

The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta sports a competitive list of standard and optional features. However, the Volkswagen Jetta no longer offers automatic climate control or leather seats, but a sunroof and a premium sound system are still on the options list.

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.”

“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,” notes Automobile Magazine, adding, “Other features include power mirrors, a split folding rear seat, and a two-way adjustable steering wheel.” They also say that “if you're prepared to check all the options boxes, a Jetta can be made very luxurious.”

Conclusion

The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta is rather luxurious to begin with—and it offers a long list of options.

Other Choices:

The Ford Fusion is a slight step up in size; it has a nicely creased style, available all-wheel drive, and a big V-6 engine, though its base four-cylinder engine is just fine. It shares some running gear with the Mazda6, which gets a new rounded style for 2009, as well as a more refined interior. The Honda Civic is also 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. Another rival is the Impreza, which comes as a roomy sedan, with a comfortable ride and good handling; all-wheel drive is standard on the Impreza.
