Volkswagen: – Jetta- the wholesome automobile

Cars are synonymous with luxury. This luxury blended with economic feasibility and environmental friendliness is always a welcome.

The prestigious car brand Volkswagen has launched a new car in August 2008, in the US market, which is first of its kind in the world. They have named it JETTA. Jetta is a pure riders’ delight since it drives very well and promises plenty of control and stability on road. It has got attractive features like 2.0 liter diesel with 138 brake horsepower. It is a spacious car with plenty of space for the person on the driver’s seat to relax his legs and also for the other commuters. There is enough space in the backseat for three children to sit and travel comfortably. The boot locks quite securely. Moreover it is vast, somewhat similar to a Ford Mondeo. It has a unique feature like airbags-six in number, which are available in all of its models. There is also a stability control as standard. One will find well cushioned head rests that would help minimize whiplash in case of accidents. The basic models have alloy wheels, along with air conditioners and electric windows. Automatic lights and wipers are available in the Sports models.

This line of cars by Volkswagen abides by the environmental norms. The environmentalists have happily given a green signal to this car.

It has won the Green Car of the year, 2009 award bestowed by the Green car journal. It has created a Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption of 58.2 miles per hour when it traveled through 48 continuous states of US. The editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and the Editor of GreenCar.com, Ron Cogan, has highly praised of this car. The environment friendly aspect of the jettas has given them an upper hand over other popular car models.

The car has high fuel efficiency and uses advanced clean diesel which makes it dominate the discussions regarding environment friendly vehicles in recent years. The added advantages are- its availability at an affordable price, easy handling of its mechanical parts and also a high fuel economy. All these features are catapulting the jettas as strong competitors of other brands in the market, like, Ford Fusion Hybrid, BMW 335D, Saturn View 2 Mode Hybrid, Smart for 2 etc.

Since the fuel economy is good, the jetta is more appealing to the low tax groups. The other running costs are quite reasonable. However the jettas lack the versatility and consequent popularity like that of a hatchback, which affects their resale values. This might lead to fast depreciation of the jettas as compared to the Golf. Nevertheless, the overall cost structures of the jettas make them saleable, giving them worldwide acceptance
