Its advantages include it having great fuel efficiency
This 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Review will speak to the fact that there are not many wagons that look as sporty as the 2012 VW Jetta Sportswagen. This along with its fuel efficiency is what makes it most appealing to so many people. In addition, it acts as a very good alternative to other compact sedans and hatchbacks such as the Mazda 3 and the Ford Focus. Whichever such vehicles you choose to compare the sportswagen to, it will still come out looking great.
The VW Jetta Sportswagen S and SE’s front wheel drive comes with a five cylinder engine that holds 2.5 litres and generates one hundred and seventy horsepower as well as one hundred and seventy seven pounds feet of torque. The S comes with a standard manual transmission that has 6 speeds. On the other hand, you have an option for the 6 speed automatic on the S but a standard on the SE. The estimated fuel economy is twenty four mpg city or thirty three mpg on the highway and combined with the manual transmission, and then 24/31/26 with the automatic transmission.
Another feature of this 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is the safety features. There are many such features, including its traction and stability control, the side impact airbags on its front seats, as well as its side curtain airbags that are full-length, and its antilock disc brakes.
The top score was given to the Sportswagen by the company Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests. It got a good for its side impact, roof strength as well as its offset frontal tests.
In addition to the foregoing, the interiors of the Sportswagen are even much nicer than the Jetta sedan, even though the latter was designed after the Sportswagen. The Sportswagen’s has materials that are of the very finest quality, along with plastics that are soft to the touch, as well as fine-looking metal trim.
Its cabin is very user friendly, and its audio, air conditioning and optional navigation system are very simple to use.With its screen being a tad smaller than some other systems, it may be deemed to not be as functional as the others.There is lots of room upfront, and albeit the space in the back is a little smaller, it is comparatively large enough for persons not to be uncomfortable seated behind there. It has a very good cargo-carrying capacity; 32.8 cubic feet of space at the back of the rear seats, as well as 88.9 cubic feet when the seatbacks have been folded down.
