In the American Hierarchy of Transportation the station
wagon ranks just above the moped in desirability, and
the entry level station wagon: just above a riding
lawnmower. Nevertheless, Volkswagen continues to be one
of the few automakers brave enough to offer the unloved
body style in its Jetta lineup. We recently spent a week
in one and came away believing what we always have:
wagons offer the people and cargo capacity to meet most
people’s needs and drive better than any crossover/SUV.
Our base model featured the normally unloved 2.5-liter
I5, which fared far better this time around thanks to a
bump in power over previous versions we’ve driven.

Why Buy It:
It combines jaw-dropping performance with surprising comfort
at a price that's impressive considering its DNA.
Why Avoid It:
The R tronic transmission is junk, and it turns everyone
with a camera phone into paparazzi.
