Volkswagen redesigned the Jetta for 2011, and when it was new, reviewers liked its spacious interior, saying that the Jetta has as much space as some 2011 midsize cars. Additionally, the Jettas trunk is one of the largest in the class. Inside, the cabin has a smooth, clean design, though test drivers disliked the 2011 Jettas hard, shiny plastics. The 2011 Jetta comes with standard features that are typical of small cars, including air conditioning, cruise control, a four-speaker stereo and an auxiliary input jack. Look to higher trims for features like satellite radio, a USB port, Bluetooth and navigation. Four engines are available in the 2011 Jetta. The S model has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the SE and SEL trims get a more powerful 2.5-liter five-cylinder. The base model with a manual transmission has average fuel economy ratings, but higher trims get slightly fewer miles per gallon. The best performer in the lineup is the Jetta GLI, which has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The Jetta TDI offers the best fuel economy thanks to its 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine. Reviewers were mixed on the Jettas performance, though many were underwhelmed and felt other cars in the class were more fun to drive. The 2011 Jetta also performed very well in crash tests.
