If you are a Volkswagen or Jetta fan, this car will be difficult to resist. Â We have followed the upcoming 2014 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T closely, and now we have another piece of the puzzle. Â The 1.8T Jetta will start at $18,895 before destination charges. Â Still, this will be a fun, practical, and economical sedan for under $20K. Â You get a 170 HP turbo engine, a 5-speed manual transmission (a 6-speed would have been awesome, but more costly), and EPA rating of 26/36 MPG and 30 MPG combined. Â Don’t forget that this Jetta also comes with 4-wheel independent suspension and disk brakes at all corners. Â You get the leatherette seating surface for the base model.
If you want to get more fancy, then go for the SE model. Â There you can get a sunroof, premium touch screen radio, leather wrapped steering wheel, CarNet internet connectivity, and more cool buzzword features. Â The car with all these goodies comes in at just over $22,000. Â This is still a great value.
If a manual transmission is not your bag, you can also opt for a 6-speed automatic at additional cost.
