* Introduction Reviving a name from the past can be fraught with difficulty. There's often a good reason why the model was allowed to slip into obscurity. In Volkswagen's case, the old Jetta was a little different. It was seen as a rather dull but worthy car but its replacements, the Vento and the Bora never really caught on. So it is that the Jetta name was revived and with it a hopeful new assault on a more upmarket saloon market that, thus far, has also faltered at the first. Here's how to take advantage of the Jetta's stuttering start and land a bargain.
The Volkswagen Jetta is one of those cars that will never work in this country. We're just too accustomed to hatchbacks in this class and it will always be a minor player. While this may result in long faces for those who bought one from new, it's good news for the used buyer who can get equipment levels way beyond standard Golf fare at lower prices and have something a little more individual to boot. Mechanically rugged, the Jetta is best when fitted with a 2.0-litre engine, petrol or diesel. Our tip would be to try to find a vendor who has specified the DSG sequential gearbox on his 2.0-litre Jetta but isn't asking a big premium.
