This year just 2,000 Wofsburg Edition Jettas will be coming to Canada. They're available in only four colours - White, Black Uni, Tornado Red and the Galactic Blue of our test car.

This limited edition Jetta packs in thousands worth of driving enthusiast features at a premium of only a few hundred dollars. If your driving interests point more toward performance than luxury, the Jetta Wolfsburg Edition might just be what you've been searching for. That said you had better get in touch with your local VW dealer quickly, as word has it there aren't many 2001 cars left.
