2007 Volkswagen Jetta Road Test Ratings

A pleasing blend of solid driving dynamics and interior comfort, only serious driving enthusiasts may be disappointed by the Jetta's competent package.

Well-balanced handling but may disappoint enthusiasts. Usable, torquey power delivery. Diesel-fueled Jetta TDI has been discontinued due to its inability to pass new 2007 government emission tests. Look for it to return in 2008.

Flexible driving position, pleasing ride without being overly soft.

Thoughtful feature content, some unusual control layouts.

Materials generally appear high-quality. Average build quality, innocuous styling.
