Volkswagen redesigns its midsize car for 2006 with fresh styling, larger dimensions, and more power. Newly available features include a navigation system and steering-linked bi-xenon headlamps, plus manual and automatic transmissions with six speeds instead of five. The base engine remains a turbocharged 4-cyl, but it's a 200-hp 2.0-liter vs. a 170-hp 1.8. It's used in Value Edition and 2.0 T models. These come with front-wheel drive and either transmission. The V6 is now a 280-hp 3.6-liter vs. a 190-hp 2.8. It's used in the two 3.6 models, one of which has front-drive, the other VW's 4Motion all-wheel drive. Both come only with automatic transmission.

The "cheerleader car" is growing up!

by Wovoka , Oct 1, 1999
Pros: Good entry-level convertible; roomy interior and cargo capacity; fun to drive!
Cons: LOUSY CUP HOLDERS! Not going to win any road races; "Cheerleader" stereotype
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: OK, alright - I got a lot of groans from my California friends when I purchased a 1997 Volkswagen Cabrio 2 years ago. "Why did you buy the ultimate cheerleader car?" they chuckled. But this native New Yorker never had the convertible experience in...

Review: My husband and I decided to get rid of his poor crappy, 1997 Chevy Astro Van, with no air conditioning. If you live in Florida, you know what I mean. We went this last Saturday to get a new VW. He loves my Jetta so we decided to stick with VW cars...

This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: A few years ago I suggested that for those who didn't need a back seat the Jetta made more sense than the Passat. The smaller sedan handled better and cost less.

Last spring a thoroughly redesigned Jetta arrived. This fall it is joined by...
