The Jetta is now the entry level VW. If I had to grab one, I'd stick with the sportline. Gets you the most bang for the buck and the 2.5 motor.

VW decided to go after the civic, corolla segment and of course, there were some cost saving measures. Drum brakes, live axle and hard plastics etc.. Anything less than the Sportline and you'll feel the impact of the cost savings that VW had to take more.

TBH, I never been a Jetta fan and don't care too much for the styling. They went after the corolla and the styling shows. It looks too generic now. Then again, I much prefer the front end of the MK5 GTI vs the MK6. Just looks VW unique to me.
