Volkswagen Jetta (06-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 27 March 2006 Last Updated: 02 October 2009 Volkswagen has returned to the original Jetta name for its smaller family saloon, relegating the previous Vento and Bora names to history. While the Golf influence is obvious from the front and from behind the wheel, the rear has much in common with the upmarket Passat and it's a good alternative to the larger four-door. The Jetta is good to drive in all its engine variations, and can squeeze three passengers into the rear quite comfortably. It has a huge boot and is quite handsome, but still won't hold its value as well as an equivalent Golf. However, this makes it a good used buy. 4 out of 5 Other Volkswagen reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Safety The Jetta is a very safe car, with driver and passenger front and side airbags, curtain airbags, hydraulic brake assistance during emergency stops and an electronic stability control system as standard. The passenger airbag has a deactivation switch so rear-facing child seats can be strapped to the front passenger seat safely.
