In April, the Volkswagen car dealerships began to sell the Jetta model of the Kaluga assembly. Due to the reduction in price, the car has become even more attractive
If earlier they said that VW Jetta is a good but expensive car, then with the start of sales of cars from Kaluga the situation has changed. On average, the price was reduced by eight percent. In the basic configuration with a 1.6 liter engine and a vehicle 6 -speed gearbox VW Jetta can be purchased for 578 969 rubles.
Comfortable seats are sheathed with perforated fabric. The gear shift mechanism is characterized by short moves and a clear inclusion. The head optics is not endowed with xenon light, but at the same time the lighting of the road space and visibility can be called excellent. A long-term clutch pedal makes a light confusion in a pedantically and purely in German car. But over time you get used to it.
The trunk VW Jetta is large, which, however, did not affect the size of the salon. The rear passengers can comfortably accommodate and easily move the long road. With good controllability and clear operation of the steering electrical power, you forget about the imperfect dynamic indicators of the engine. But on Jetta, even with such a motor, you can go quickly, the main thing is to track and in time to adjust the rapidly developing rear axle skid with sharp maneuvering.
The strength of the VW, including Jetta, still remain brakes with a well-minded ABS, allowing to reduce speed without active steering.
