- The original first-generation Jetta (1979) was designed as a saloon successor to the Volkswagen Beetle and positioned above the Golf hatchback.

Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen Jetta
Is a Volkswagen Jetta a good car?
Not really. While classic Jettas were at one time the best-selling European cars in the United States and many other foreign markets, modern Jettas sold in Europe are no longer as appealing. The latest Jettas are not terrible and they do offer reasonable quality, especially the interior and added boot space, but the VW Golf simply outshines the Jetta in many ways. Moreover, many competitor saloons do what the Jetta does but better and/or sell for considerably less.
Is the VW Jetta discontinued?
The VW Jetta was discontinued in Europe in 2018 due to declining sales. Furthermore, the Volkswagen emissions scandal of 2015 painted the Jetta in poor light; the 2009 diesel Jetta was named Green Car of the Year and this award was rescinded in 2015 following the discovery of the scandal. Jettas are still produced for foreign markets and sell quite well in China.
Are Jettas good on fuel?
Jettas tend to perform better than average in terms of fuel economy. 2017 and 2018 Volkswagen Jettas have an estimated fuel economy of 38.8 mpg and 38.1 mpg, respectively. Depending on model year and powertrain as well as your driving habits, you can expect to get pretty good fuel efficiency from your Jetta.
Do Volkswagen Jettas last long?
The life expectancy of more recent Volkswagen Jetta models is around 150,000 miles. Unfortunately, the Jetta’s build quality isn’t quite the best and owners must be adamant about routine maintenance and servicing as well as driving carefully, because the Jetta isn’t the most durable VW model.
What does Jetta mean?
Jetta comes from the German word for “jet stream,” which is of course a wind current flowing through the atmosphere. Volkswagen tends to name its vehicles after small animals or winds, the latter of which is where the Jetta falls. Other famous wind-themed VW model names include Golf and Passat.
