2009 Volkswagen Jetta

Despite its sub-$20,000 price, the Volkswagen Jetta uses quality interior materials that give the impression of a more expensive, almost premium-level vehicle. Backing that up is a Carefree Maintenance plan spanning three years or 36,000 miles, a feature not all that common in the marketplace, let alone in this price bracket. Buyers also benefit from three years/36,000 miles of roadside assistance. Among other goodies, every Jetta sedan is equipped with heated front seats and an auxiliary audio jack, while items such as a navigation system are reserved for the options list. Like the Ford Fusion, the Jetta can be ordered with a more expensive though more efficient engine, in this case a turbocharged diesel dubbed TDI.
