The All-New 2019 Volkswagen Jetta Review
Professor: it's got a different engine now. Very smooth, brisk acceleration. It feels a lot more premium compared to the previous Jetta, especially with that virtual dash, everything is right there at your fingertips, so it makes it really, really easy to operate.

Tom: And today, we are talking about our good friends out at Ontario Volkswagen in the Los Angeles suburb of Ontario, California. Specifically, a vehicle review. The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. Now, to clarify before we throw it over to the Professor; the 2018 Jetta GLI, we just reviewed about a month, two months ago.
Professor: Yes.
Tom: So, that is the enthusiast's version, right?
Professor: Correct.
Tom: And as we discussed there, and I think in subsequent podcasts since, the Jetta was just completely redone. So this is an all-new Jetta.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta Trim Configurations & MSRPs
Professor: I drove the top-line trim, which is the SEL premium and for the 2019 Jetta, there are five trims.
You have the S, which is the base trim; which starts at about $19,000. Then you have what I call the "mid-level trim", the SE. Around $22,000.
Then you have a special sport trim that's called the "R-line". That's about $23,000.

Then you've got the... You could call it the top-line, the SEL. That's about $24,000.
And then you have this new luxury, premium top-of-the-line SEL Premium, which is about $27,000.
Tom: And that's what you drove. So you drove all the bells and whistles.
Professor: Yes. It's got the virtual dash, so it's very Audi-esque like.

Non-Professional Reviews of the 2019 VW Jetta
Tom: And so, just a quick plug also for some of... So, Clinton and I review a lot of vehicles, and Clinton's an enthusiast.
