The 2007 Volkswagen Jetta, belonging to the model's fifth generation, is a front-wheel-drive compact sedan. Its major redesign the previous year led to a more spacious interior and updated styling. It’s powered by a range of engines, starting from a 2.5-liter five-cylinder that produces 150 horsepower, up to a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 200 horsepower in the GLI trim. The Jetta offers a choice between a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Noteworthy features include standard full power accessories, keyless entry, and cruise control. Safety is enhanced with standard stability control, anti-lock brakes, front-seat side airbags, and full-length curtain-type airbags. The GLI trim, known for sporty performance, features sport suspension and brakes.
