TO THE POINT
What’s New? The performance-oriented 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI gets a powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a choice between two excellent transmissions, beefed-up suspension bits, 17-inch wheels, xenon headlights, and several important interior tweaks over the standard Jetta 2.5.
Selling Points: Excellent drivetrain and sport-tuned suspension, and attractive, well laid-out interior, a roomier back seat and perfectly sculpted race car-style steering wheel.
Deal Breakers: The driving position may not suit everyone, and the ride may be too firm for some.
Our Advice: If you’re looking for an affordable sports sedan, the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI deserves your strong consideration.

The 2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is equipped with standard side-impact airbags for the driver and front seat passenger as well as side curtain airbags designed to protect both front and rear occupants. Optional are rear seat side-impact airbags, which we feel are a worthwhile expense unless you plan to carry small children on a regular basis. Also included as standard equipment is an electronic stability program that helps correct situations where the car might slide or skid, such as when hydroplaning on wet surfaces or during evasive maneuvers.
