Winter tire Installed!!!!!! 2023 VW JETTA!!!!!!!!! COMFORT LINE WITH SPORT PACKAGE!!!!! APPLE CAR PLAY AND HEATED LEATHER SEAT!!!! ALL FEATURES YOU NEED!!!!! The Sport trim level strikes us as the Jetta to get, with a host of unique design elements and a price tag that's not too steep. The Sport's standard equipment includes unique 17-inch wheels, black exterior and interior accents, and an electronically locking front differential for improved performance versus the rest of the lineup. Every Jetta powers the front wheels with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The base model has a standard six-speed manual transmission, but an eight-speed automatic is optional. At our test track, our automatic SEL test vehicle reached 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds faster than the last automatic Jetta we tested. With the pedals, the Jetta's performance up to a quarter-mile is mostly unchanged, though it arrives at 100 mph 0.6 seconds sooner than the eight-speed auto. While the sedan has a comfortable and quiet ride, its light steering is effortless but lacks a feeling of precision. Compared with rivals such as the Mazda 3, the Jetta isn’t a roundabout racecar, but it leans into sharp corners when moving above the posted speed limit. Still, its serene nature will satisfy those who want complacent transportation. Inside, the Jetta provides a sophisticated design and generous passenger space. Although the available features become more desirable with each higher trim, every cabin caters to the driver and boasts excellent outward visibility. Top content such as customizable ambient interior lighting, wireless device charging, and ventilated front seats are reserved for the most expensive models. Surprisingly, the Jetta held more carry-on bags than the regular Golf hatchback. The sedan held seven bags in its trunk, compared with the five that fit behind the Golf's rear seat. Likewise, the Jetta held three extra bags more than the Golf (18 total) with the back seats folded. The Jetta's interior cubby storage includes useful door pockets and a deep center-console bin.
