2008 Volkswagen Jetta SE Review

Editors' rating

The good: The 2008 Volkswagen Jetta produces incredibly low emissions in its PZEV form, and its engine is a good compromise between power and efficiency. The car gets a lot of electronic driving gear standard, along with a very good audio system.

The bad: Bluetooth hands-free cell phone integration isn't available, while a very poor navigation system is only offered at the top trim level. We also weren't impressed with the iPod integration option.

The bottom line: The 2008 Volkswagen Jetta offers a lot of good driving gear and a comfortable cabin for a low price in an attractive package. However, its cabin tech options are generally lacking.
