The Jetta has been quite a head-turner says the OVerDrive team (May ’09). The low slung stance, gorgeous red shade and strategically lathered chrome make this car quite yummy to look at. Actually it’s hard to distinguish that the Jetta is narrower and shorter than the Passat - they share the same taillights and similar looking headlamps and grille array though a discerning eye will mark out the differences and recognize a more compact yet spacious and roomy enough interior.

OverDrive wishes that the car had electric seats and fabric upholstery and it’s going to upgrade the tyres to Michelin Pilot Sport high performance tyres which should improve the dynamics of this car.
