I don't know much about this technology but I do know Ford uses it and has had issues. I won't be signing up anytime soon.“ plasma coated cylinder liners ” ? Hmmmmmm

I agree, both models look less "edgy" and sharp. 2021 for the win.I was kind of worried to purchase 2021 GLI before seeing 2022.
After seeing the updates, I'm glad that I picked the 2021.
IMO, 2022 front bumper looks uglier, though I like the rear bumper and exhaust tip design more than 2021.
I'd prefer 2021 steering wheel, not a fan of touch sensitive buttons.
I'm glad it didn't get any power bump, I though it would get the mk8 GTI engine. That will most likely happen with the new gen in 2023/2024.
Overall, it's a very mild update especially for the GLI.
it’s time for the sedan to go
the jetta will not make it to another generation
“You think you hate it now…wait till you drive it”
No hater here, just never been impressed with anything VW has ever done really.Jeeez……Lots of haters here!
Just saying
I will agree the 1.4 is a going engine, and when I boosted the sump of 0W20 with some 0W40 the engine would rev out to 6K with power where it would fall flat with too thin an oil. A 40 grade is not a solution either - it just needs a bit more goo than a thin 20 which the VAG508/509 is. Too thin at least in the MOTUL flavour.We love the 1.4 TSI. We owned the 1.8 TSI for 6 years and it was a suite engine, but we don't find the 1.4 lacking. It has plenty of torque down low and plenty of passing power on the highway as well, at least when paired with the 8 speed auto. Love the drivetrain!
The Passat was never competitive against the CamCords because it was too small and too expensive.Sales numbers are not bad for Jetta, at least in Canada.
VW designed latest gen Jetta for North American market only, as a result it is almost as big as Passat. Passat has never been competitive in NA because they've always sold vanilla version here. EU version is much better (drove them both), it is almost as good as A4.
VW decided to keep the regular Golf for EU market, and Jetta for NA. Different products for different markets.
If VW stops pushing vanilla models in North America which they've been doing this for years, they would be more successful.
Yeah i dunno why they would need that unless they are moving away from the cute little iron blocks they’ve been using in most of their mills. I love the on paper design of the 1.8, being iron and a destroked 2.0. Hopefully it holds up as well as it appears to be engineered.“ plasma coated cylinder liners ” ? Hmmmmmm
PTWA instead of iron sleeves for the 1.4T. the coyote and others have been using it for years“ plasma coated cylinder liners ” ? Hmmmmmm
I'm pretty sure the 1.4 TSI has iron sleeves.PTWA instead of iron sleeves for the 1.4T. the coyote and others have been using it for years
that’s the point, they’re being replacedI'm pretty sure the 1.4 TSI has iron sleeves.
My bad.that’s the point, they’re being replaced
Im sure that Yaris with the 1.5L intimidates many drivers on the highway when your ready to pass or riding someones arse!!!in my test driving experience the 1.4tsi engine has zero highway passing oomph. is the 1.5tsi any better?
In what world is this true?As far as versatility goes, most sedans offer more trunk space than the equivalent SUV. More usable space anyway.
Greg24 How is this specific new Jetta working out? I was just curious about initial build quality say vs. a FORD or Chevy or Dodge that typically have 6-10 annoying niggles to get fixed in the first few months, requiring a few trips to the selling dealer.My bad.
The Jetta's 14 cu ft of trunk space is more usable compared to what equivalent SUV?We always had a soft spot for the Golf and I wish VW hadn't discontinued it, however rear seat leg room was nonexistent, it had little trunk space and it got worse MPG than the Jetta. As far as versatility goes, most sedans offer more trunk space than the equivalent SUV. More usable space anyway. That coupled with better MPG, lower up front price, and better driving dynamics make them a win. Americans just don't get it.
