Volkswagen Jetta Engines and Transmissions

A typical Volkswagen Jetta engine here is a modest-capacity four-cylinder, either gasoline or diesel. Choices such as 1.8 AT, 1.8 MT and 1.9 MT show the pattern: automatic transmissions ease city traffic, manuals give more control, and the drivetrain is usually front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available on some diesel versions.
