Rowing through the gears of a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission since we roll over the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel in the reality that we’re actually enjoy the fun. Yeah, fun. On a Jetta.
Never would we have expected this when Vw first launched the current Jetta for the 2011 model year. While it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, plus a more competitive price, the Jetta was soundly criticized for the utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder base engine, and chassis which had regressed into the Ancient with back drum brakes plus a torsion-beam back suspension.
Since then, VW has made incremental and significant improvements to its North American bread-butterer, and by 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes with an independent rear suspension. Furthermore 2014, another EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged base four-cylinder engine forced the cantankerous 2.5-liter five-cylinder into retirement. Go into the 2015 Jetta, having its midcycle update which brings new front and back styling, upgraded interior components (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), and a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it seems that the Jetta has now become the car Volkswagen must have been building forever.
Generally, the most significant elements of a vehicle’s midcycle renew are modified lumination and fascia elements, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they're arguably the least interesting of the changes. A brand new grille focuses on the car’s width, along with the new rear bumper, while new head lights give more widely available LED daytime running lamps along with the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. But for the first time, maybe the cheapest Jetta drives on aluminum wheels. To what extent the revisions help the Jetta’s looks depends on the observer, nevertheless arguably it has become actually tougher to tell the difference relating to the Jetta and the one-size-up Passat.
The cabin, when among the Jetta’s worst attributes, has turned into a convincingly nice place to spend time for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere and the door panels are hard plastic, however the dashboard looks much classier, dressed as it is with tunneled indicators and refractive piano-black trim sections. High-end material including navigation has trickled down from higher trims to low- and mid-grade levels, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually bigger than that of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats of the S, SE, and SEL models we drove were firm and supportive.
