Carribean Cruises 2006

The Jetta is one of those cars that sells very well in some markets and relatively poorly in others. That has everything to do with that particular country's attitude towards saloons (sedans) and nothing to do with the Jetta's abilities, as it's good at everything it does.

Jetta Engines

The Jetta is based on the Mk5 Golf (aka Rabbit) and is made in China, Russia, Mexico, South Africa and India, so the engine range varies depending on its final destination. From launch in Europe, the Jetta was available with 1.4 TSI, 1.6 FSI (now discontinued) and 2.0 FSI petrol engines while in the US and some other markets 1.8 and 2.5 units were added. Diesel engines include 1.9 TDI pümpe duse and 2.0 TDI units.

The 1.4 petrol is available in various states of tune and is assisted by a turbocharger to boost power and keep economy at a respectable level. The 1.6 and 2.0 FSI units need zero-sulphur gasoline to operate at peak efficiency, while the 2.5 five-cylinder petrol used in the Americas and the Middle East puts out up to 170bhp.
