They have some of the nicest interior designs in the automotive industry. Being a German car they do have their idiosecrencies(?). Maintenance can get pricey with those German parts(Bosch). The Jetta, as well as most VW's, has traditionally been a fine road machine in terms of handling and drivetrain performance. For a front wheel drive car it feels very neutral in corners, never understeering(pushing). I took a GTI 16V thru an on ramp curve at rediculus speeds, and when it's limits were reached it swung it's rear end out, but the front end stayed planted. It was sweet!
