2023 Volkswagen Jetta 1.5T Sport FWD

Often referred to as a Volkswagen Golf with a trunk due to its joyful driving characteristics, the front-wheel-drive Jetta sedan is among the best compacts sold today. Plus, it is in good company, as it stacks up well against newer and more powerful competition such as the Honda Civic or the Mazda 3, which offers all-wheel drive. The Jetta has spry handling that makes leaning on its 158-horsepower turbocharged inline-four engine fun. Standard safety features and a host of excellent infotainment offerings fill the Jettas cabin, and we would be remiss not to point out that the last Jetta we tested returned an impressive 42 mpg on our real-world 75-mph highway fuel-economy testEric Stafford CARandDRIVER. The continuedThe Sport trim level strikes us as the Jetta to get, with a host of unique design elements and a price tag that is not too steep. The Sports standard equipment includes unique 17-inch wheels, black exterior and interior accents, and an electronically locking front differential for improved performance versus the rest of the lineup. The Jetta line kicks off with this basic model featuringLED headlights, a 6.5-inch touchscreen, Two USB ports, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Four-speaker sound system, a Digital instrument cluster with an 8-inch display, and Volkswagen Car-Net mobile app with remote start, door locking-unlocking, parked location finder and other functions. The S also comes with standard advanced driver aids that include a Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning and Forward collision mitigation.
