On that thought there's also a reasonable amount of room inside, plus an open feeling brought about by a superb visual range, loads of headroom, a spacious and comfortable back seat, all aided to by a fairly high seat height. Also important Volkswagen has managed to offer all these attributes without the loss of intimacy, common among today's sedans.

With a high-performance vehicle comes high-performance fuel. The Wolfsburg's preferred drink is premium unleaded, a hard pill to swallow on a regular basis. Still, due to its sensational performance the higher priced gas was a sacrifice I was willing to make, at least for the weeklong duration of my test. On the positive the Wolfsburg experiences fairly decent fuel economy at 9.9 L/100 km in the city and 6.9 L/100 km on the highway, and is classified as a Low-Emissions Vehicle (LEV).
Like I said previously, I'm now an out-of-the-closet VW fan. The Jetta Wolfsburg Edition is a well built, modestly priced sports sedan. Of course modest to some might be outrageous to others. Its base price starts at $27,595, while the price as tested came to $29,260, including the $1,015 power sunroof, $430 Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP), and $220 worth of side curtain airbag protection. I recommend trying out a Jetta Wolfsburg, or any VW product, if you are a closet admirer like I used to be. You'll probably be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
