VW Jetta vs. Honda Civic

• Better Standard Infotainment System: The new Honda Civic is a similarly sized car with a handsome cabin and lively handling. However, the new Volkswagen Jetta has more to offer when it comes to standard tech features. People in Gaithersburg who want to stay connected and entertained on long drives will appreciate that the Volkswagen Jetta has a user-friendly infotainment system with standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. To get those features in the Honda Civic, you'll have to pay more for a higher trim.
• Better Standard Fuel Economy: The new Honda Civic gets 29 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway with its standard 158-horsepower four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission. Hagerstown drivers will like that the Volkswagen Jetta comes with a 147-horsepower four-cylinder motor that gets 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway.

VW Jetta vs. Ford Focus

• Better Transmission: The Ford Focus actually has a more powerful base engine than the new Volkswagen Jetta, putting out 160 horsepower compared to 147 horsepower for the VW. However, the Jetta comes with either a six-speed manual transmission or a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission that make good use of its power, while the Focus's dual-clutch automatic transmission is hesitant to downshift at times.
• Roomier Seating: Taller passengers in Leesburg, VA will appreciate that the new Volkswagen Jetta has 37 inches of backseat leg room for plenty of space to stretch out their legs. The Focus has a cramped back seat that's not an ideal place for adults to sit.
