Specifications & Summary
Summary
Complaints about the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI are minimal. An uncomfortable rear seat, a pedal feel preference for the brakes and a lack of paddle shifters. But when you consider all you do get, the Jetta TDI is a steal. Finding a happy medium between performance and economy is a tough challenge and Volkswagen got it right. Achieving 40 mpg, maybe even more depending on how you drive, is a fair trade for the ability to fearlessly zip through canyons when the urge strikes. As a four-seater for around town fun and daily commuter service, the Jetta TDI is hard to beat.
