The Jetta rear deck is high, giving the car a rakish wedge shape when viewed from the side and plenty of trunk space. The chromed Volkswagen logo in its center is the only brightwork on the car. Bumpers are body-colored and mirrors, window gaskets, and wipers are black. The GLX can be distinguished from other Jetta models by the prominent spoiler atop the rear deck, black lower side cladding, and 6-spoke BBS alloy wheels. The Jetta's exterior boxiness pays dividends inside.
Few cars have such efficient space utilization.
This is a small sedan that will hold four large adults quite comfortably. It has plenty of convenience features, even optional leather upholstery. The fully- reclining front sports seats are supportive, comfortable, and adjustable for height, unusual in this price class. The steering wheel is adjustable for tilt. The trunk is huge.
