By virtue of its quirky style and upbeat personality, the 2008 Volkswagen Jetta appeals to people who appreciate its lively performance and long list of standard features.

The Jetta is available in 5 trim levels – Jetta, 2.5, 2.0 TFSI, GLI, and TDI – with three engines providing the power. The 2.5 liter 5-cylinder provides peppy acceleration and good fuel economy. The 2.0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder delivers a brisk 200 horsepower. Returning for this year is the Jetta TDI, featuring a new 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine featuring clean diesel technology to meet strict emissions requirements. Two transmissions are available – a 5-speed manual for purists and a DSG automatic transmission with integrated paddle shifters for quick gear changes.

With six standard airbags, the Jetta achieves a 5-star frontal crash test rating. Standard anti-slip regulation prevents wheel slippage at all speeds. Working in conjunction with the standard anti-lock braking system, Electronic Brake Force distribution applies maximum braking power to individual wheels as needed. Standard hydraulic brake assist kicks in to maximize ABS power. A brake pad wear indicator and tire pressure monitoring system alert the driver to any potential changes – helping to keep brake rotors safe and tires inflated.

With one of the most upscale interiors in its class, the Jetta has a nice array of amenities. The CLIMAtronic climate control system maintains a constant cabin temperature, regardless of outside conditions. The optional Premium VII stereo adds a 6-disc CD changer with MP3 compatibility and satellite radio capability. An auxiliary audio jack in the glovebox can accommodate your Ipod®. Optional 12-way power seats allow perfect adjustment for driver and front passenger. A 60/40 split rear seat and folding front passenger seat create excellent cargo flexibility.

From family hauler to turbocharged sports sedan to eco-friendly commuter, the 2008 Volkswagen Jetta covers all the bases.
