The Jetta Sportwagen replaces the trunk of the Jetta with a large cargo area accessible through a hatch. A cleanly styled interior features a simple and comfortable layout. The standard engine is a 170hp, 2.5L inline 5-cylinder engine with a 5-speed manual and optional six-speed automatic transmission. The SportWagen also offers a rare diesel engine option. The 2.0L diesel turns in impressive EPA ratings of 30 city / 41 hwy, which is hard to match in any other car with similar utility. The Jetta is in general a good value, but at the upper end of the model range, the roomier Passat becomes a very attractive alternative.
