There are two specific things that make the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta SE a good buy: a price tag of $20,895 and a fuel consumption of 38 mpg highway.

The 1.4-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged TSI engine with direct injection and intercooler delivers a peak of 150 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. Performance is ensured by carrying this power to the wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic and sport mode.

Independent suspension at the four wheels adds to the road-hugging capability, and electromechanical power-assisted, speed-sensitive steering adds to the sporty attitude.

The 2017 Volkswagen Jetta’s 16-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season tires contribute to its sleek, athletic stance. Of course, Jetta is built for its fun-to-drive attitude.

The multifunctional steering wheel puts important function controls at the driver's fingertip.
