For so long a time, Volkswagen has been a favorite of all auto enthusiasts. The name alone has a sense of command. Likewise, the perpetually updated Jetta continues to be Volkswagen's most popular car to this date. It goes without saying that this year's Volkswagen Jettas' performance is personified.

 

No exception comes to the new and much improved 2005 Volkswagen Jetta. As a carryover from 2004, the Jetta GL, GLS, GLI, and Jetta GLX still make their way. These four models go hand in hand with a warranty and a host of new features and amenities for a more enjoyable and comfortable ride.

 

Built for the four Jetta models are four highly capacitated engines to choose from. It is a plus factor that these engines are certified low-emissions. Most Jetta GL and GLS models come standard with a 2.0 liter, 4-cyl inline gas engine that delivers 115 horsepower and 122 pounds-per-foot of torque. On the other hand, a 1.9-liter, 4-cylinder inline turbocharged direct injection diesel engine that delivers 90 horsepower and 149 pounds-per-foot of torque is an engine also available with Jetta GL and Jetta GLS models. A 2.8-liter, 6-cylinder inline engine that delivers 200 horsepower and 195 pounds per foot of torque comes standard in all Jetta GLI and Jetta GLX models. Then, a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder, inline V-5 engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 174 pounds-per-foot of torque is available in still other select Jetta GLS models.

 

Accompanying this interesting engine profile is Jetta's impressive styling. Standard features that come along with 2005 Jettas are the power-assisted rack and pinion steering, front and rear gas shock absorbers, independent McPherson struts, and five-speed manual transmission. Indeed, VW Jetta owners have a lot to be grateful of. Aside from the daytime running lights, rear stop lamp, automatic locking system, glove box light, and more; 2005 Jettas provide a rundown list of further improved safety features. Included are automatic tensioning retractors for front and rear passenger belts, front air bags, side airbags, LATCHchild restraint tether anchorage system, front crush zone, side crush pockets, and trunk escape handle for easy exit.

 

All of these impressive features add color and life to 2005 VW Jetta. These points have earned Jetta the highest ratings among its class. Moreover, 2005 Volkswagen Jetta is a car to own and drive around.
