I am a tall guy with big feet, so my vehicle choices are greatly restricted. The Jetta Sportwagen (Golf Wagon here in Canada) is very comfortable on long drives. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |

| 2011 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
High torque at low revs = great acceleration and power to spare--in a 4 cylinder! see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
I chose the diesel mainly for the fuel economy but the torque also makes it a pleasure to drive. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
I tried both the optional DSG and manual 6-speed and really liked the manual and the low-end torque of the motor. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |

The TDI powertrain is more than adequate for all occasions. The huge amount of torque will always pull you to where you want to be. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |

When the TDI is cold, it stumbles a bit, especially at low speeds. This always disappears but is a bit annoying, and perhaps an inherent problem with diesel motors. A manual would give you more control and perhaps you could rev the engine higher when cold to get around this. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |

My biggest niggle with this vehicle which completely ruins my driving pleasure, is the way VW has decided to have the engine respond to the gas pedal from a dead stop. In "Drive" or "Sport" mode, the computer delays the throttle response so you either crawl away from a stop sign (or into a traffic opening, a potentially dangerous situation), or you mash down the pedal and spin the front wheels. They've made it so you always make hyper-mileage starts, you don't have the choice (except to mash down the pedal, but there's no control possible there). Put the shifter to the right, into Tiptronic mode, and you have a normal, very controllable throttle response from a dead stop. Why can't they program that in for "D" and "S" modes???? I really dislike this vehicle because of that. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |

I find the transmission jerky. Also, having it shift into 6th gear by the time I reach 60 kph when in "Drive" mode is simply stupid. Just another way to be able to inflate the gas mileage numbers, that's all. Driving in 6th gear in city traffic is very annoying for everyone (both for me and the drivers behind me in rush hour traffic, who chafe when four or five car lengths open up in front of me while I'm trying to get a move on without forcing a downshift). Using "Sport" mode is worse: the transmission stays too long in the lower gears, and, when you are braking, forces early downshifts that add extra braking and snap your passengers' heads forward. Tiptronic mode is not the answer because the stick is always in the same position, you've got no tactile reminder of what gear you're in, you've got to be continually looking down at the readout in the cluster. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |
