Miles Overview
The 2012 Jetta is Volkswagen's compact sedan and wagon, aimed at buyers who want a bit more German character than the typical Corolla or Civic. It's a comfortable, composed cruiser that feels stable at highway speeds, with a ride that's smooth enough for daily commutes. Inside, the cabin is roomy for the class, with a clean dash and available leather that gives it a more upscale feel than its price suggests. Some owners have dealt with electrical gremlins and pricey repairs, so it's worth budgeting for the occasional German-brand hiccup. Leatherette seats and the stronger five-cylinder set the SE apart from the base S, while skipping the SEL's premium audio and sunroof. Its 2.5L I5 makes 170 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, giving you confident passing power and 26 mpg combined on regular fuel. The SE's twist-beam rear suspension is tuned for comfort, so expect a stable freeway ride rather than sporty cornering.
