The Jetta is a compact car but surprisingly refined and roomy for a vehicle in its class. The introductory trim level, the S, offers a long list of popular standard infotainment and safety features, as well as impressive cargo space and a variety of storage compartments throughout the cabin.
For the sportier options, however, you’ll have to upgrade to a higher trim level. The Sport starts at $22,260 and has 17-inch wheels, black exterior and interior accents, and improved performance traits compared to the rest of the lineup. Higher trim levels include the SE, starting at $25,090, and the SEL, starting at $29,090.
