Volkswagen Jetta - It's Not Shaped Like A Bug

When you hear Volkswagen, you probably think, “Beetle.” Or maybe you remember those retro advertisements from the 60’s. And why shouldn’t you? It’s an iconic car, a true symbol of Americana. But did you know that VW has offered a full profile of non-bug shaped vehicles for decades?

This week, I want to introduce you to a vehicle from VW that doesn’t catch all the hype (even though it’s the best selling VW) but certainly deserves your attention - the Jetta.

Style

 The name, “Jetta,” refers to the Atlantic jet stream. It comes from a period of time when VW named it’s vehicles after notable trade winds.

Since 1979, the Jetta has been through six generations. A look at the current Jetta model gives you an aggressive road appearance matched with a simple beauty that many smaller cars can’t provide. It’s distinctive lines & chrome VW badge give you a spiff of personality on the road. Take a look for yourself

Fits Your Lifestyle

For the family or for yourself, the Jetta is a great alternative to cars in it’s class like the Civic or Cruze. Lots of folks think that you need to sacrifice comfort & practicality for style, but the Jetta captures the best of both worlds. It has more than enough space - you can fit a load of golf clubs or stroller in the trunk with ease. Plus, the backseat has tons of space for your passengers - child or adult sized - with 2 more inches than the Chevy Cruze or Honda Civic & 5 more inches than the Focus (the most in it’s class). Not to mention, a fold-down rear armrest with cup holders is available in the back seat to keep friends cozy (or kids separated!).

You’ll also find a world of options like sunroof, navigation or convenience packages that carry heated seats & a leather wrapped steering wheel. Drivers & passengers will enjoy the smooth ride with a number of comforts - dedicated iPod connections, multiple cup holders, bluetooth, different media playing & charging outlets plus lumbar support.

Fits The Budget

Jettas come in different trim levels & engine options. Whether you are looking for more of a basic ride with the legroom & trunk space for your family or you want something with performance + more bells & whistles, the Jetta has you covered.

Every new Volkswagen also comes standard with the first 3 years / 36,000 miles of maintenance at no cost to you! Whether it’s changing your oil, rotating the tires, topping off the windshield wiper fluid - imagine not having to pay a penny for your regular service intervals. And you don’t even have to remember! The VW service team here at Witham will remind you when it’s time.

Plus, if you’re putting on the miles & really want to reap the savings, you can opt for the clean diesel technology from Volkswagen. They offer a 2.0L turbocharged, diesel engine that give you 30 city / 42 hwy mpg with 609 miles on a single tank - more than the Toyota Prius!

So Remember...

Driving a Volkswagen doesn't mean you have to be a bug-lover. You can still grab a style heavy, life loving, budget friendly car in the Jetta.
