2008 Volkswagen Jetta (continuación)
|
|
|
Conclusiones
El Volkswagen Jetta mezcla ingeniería y tecnología de casta germana, buenos materiales, buena calidad de construcción y sólido desempeño, en un paquete de buen precio. El modelo base viene bien equipado, con un reproductor decente de CD y gran cantidad de equipos de seguridad. Su cinco cilindros 2.5 litros fue procreado para los gustos americanos, con grandes cantidades de torque a bajas revoluciones, y lo convierte al mismo tiempo en un vagabundo vigoroso y un viajero confortable en largas distancias. El GLI turbocargado alcanza el estatus de sedán deportivo. Sin embargo, los precios saltan rápidamente. En el extremo superior, un Jetta cargado de equipamiento puede casi duplicar el modesto precio base, y no estamos seguros de que haya dos veces el valor en la ecuación resultante.
