Really dissapointed with the 2012 edition. I own a 2009 TD Jetta and was way more...Reply
The 2012 Jetta TDI looks like it makes up for in price what it lacks in finish.Reply �1 Reply
I love my Jetta!Reply
johnstar - 1st Gear Reviewer 1hr ago
The 2012 models are just not the same since the change to the base model. Newer parts are cheaper and devalues the car.

Automakers still betting on electric future
Hybrids and all-electric vehicles have had a rough go the past year, despite all the hype and hope surrounding them. Still, as the 24th annual Detroit Auto Show reveals, automakers are still betting heavily on the market.
One company typifying the uncertainty is Ford. It is pulling the plug on its seven-year-old gas-electric Escape sport-utility vehicle, which has seen sales plunge of late.
But it revealed this week that it was doubling down on the future of electric vehicles, announcing three new versions of its top-selling Fusion family car, including gas-electric and plug-in hybrid models.
The U.S. hybrid market made up just 2.2 per cent of auto sales in 2011, down from 2.4 per cent in 2010. And more-advanced plug-in cars, such as the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt, sold only 17,345 units last year, missing expectations.

Many of the U.S. cars on the list, including the Jeep Liberty, Dodge Dakota, and Jeep Wrangler, took hits for bad reliability and fuel economy.
The Cadillac Escalade also made the list for its high cost of ownership and poor safety performance results.
Luxury brands like the Escalade faced a clear disadvantage in the value and cost of ownership categories.

2012 Toronto International AutoshowFebruary 17, 2012 - February 26, 2012
Hybrids and all-electric vehicles have had a rough go the past year, despite all the hype and hope surrounding them. Still, as the 24th annual Detroit Auto Show reveals, automakers are still betting heavily on the market.
One company typifying the uncertainty is Ford. It is pulling the plug on its seven-year-old gas-electric Escape sport-utility vehicle, which has seen sales plunge of late.
But it revealed this week that it was doubling down on the future of electric vehicles, announcing three new versions of its top-selling Fusion family car, including gas-electric and plug-in hybrid models.
The U.S. hybrid market made up just 2.2 per cent of auto sales in 2011, down from 2.4 per cent in 2010. And more-advanced plug-in cars, such as the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt, sold only 17,345 units last year, missing expectations.

In the spring and summer, the program is offered as the &DU�&RQWURO�6FKRRO�RQ�D�GU\�WUDFN��7KH�:LQWHU�'ULYLQJ�6FKRRO�FRXUVH��of course, is set up to thoroughly familiarize drivers with a variety of vehicular experiences where traction is limited.

Really dissapointed with the 2012 edition. I own a 2009 TD Jetta and was way more...Reply
The 2012 Jetta TDI looks like it makes up for in price what it lacks in finish.�1 Reply
I love my Jetta!Reply
johnstar - 1st Gear Reviewer 1hr ago
The 2012 models are just not the same since the change to the base model. Newer parts are cheaper and devalues the car.

Hybrids and all-electric vehicles have had a rough go the past year, despite all the hype and hope surrounding them. Still, as the 24th annual Detroit Auto Show reveals, automakers are still betting heavily on the market.
One company typifying the uncertainty is Ford. It is pulling the plug on its seven-year-old gas-electric Escape sport-utility vehicle, which has seen sales plunge of late.
But it revealed this week that it was doubling down on the future of electric vehicles, announcing three new versions of its top-selling Fusion family car, including gas-electric and plug-in hybrid models.
The U.S. hybrid market made up just 2.2 per cent of auto sales in 2011, down from 2.4 per cent in 2010. And more-advanced plug-in cars, such as the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt, sold only 17,345 units last year, missing expectations.

Ben Holland of the Rocky Mountain Institute observe that when the first gas-electric hybrid models rolled out in 2000, the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius had sales of just 9,350. Those figures looked anemic at the time, too. But the technology eventually caught on and more than 2 million hybrids have been sold in the U.S. since then.

future of electric vehicles. Ford, for one, expects 10 per cent of its sales to be either plug-ins or hybrids by 2020. And the latest round of U.S. fuel-economy standards, under which carmakers must get their fleet averages up to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, should provide yet more incentives to go electric.
The big unknown, however, is what types of electric vehicles will catch on. Ford decided on creating different versions of the Fusion, betting that gas-electric hybrids will remain the dominant preference for the time being.
