2011 Volkswagen Jetta

The Volkswagen Jetta is a small family car, produced by German automaker Volkswagen Group for the Volkswagen Passenger Cars marque since 1979. Positioned to fill a saloon/sedan niche above the firm's Golf hatchback offering, it has been marketed over five generations variously as the Atlantic, Bora, City Jetta, Jetta City, Fox, GLI, Jetta, Sagitar, and Vento. The Jetta was originally adapted by adding a conventional trunk to the Golf hatchback, and some distinctive styling (usually the front end, and sometimes slight interior changes). It has been offered in two- and four-door saloon (sedan), and five-door estate (station wagon) versions - all as five-seaters. As of 2005, over 6.6 million cars have been sold worldwide, over one-third in the United States alone. Since the original version in 1980, the car has grown in size and power with each successive generation.

The Jetta nameplate is a reference to the Atlantic 'jet stream', reflecting the period in Volkswagen's history when it named its vehicles after prominent winds. These also included the Volkswagen Passat (after the German word for trade wind), Volkswagen Bora (after bora), and Volkswagen Scirocco (after sirocco).

2011 Volkswagen Passat CC

The Passat CC is now pretty and practical. Responding to customer demand, VW has replaced the pair of individual rear seats with a conventional three-seat bench. This gives the option of transporting five adults in comfort, just like a Passat saloon, but still offering a more stylish coupe bodystyle.



The standard spec has also been increased. Alongside the climate control; leather steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake, and 17-inch alloys, all CCs now come with sat-nav and Bluetooth.



GT models also benefit from a Nappa leather interior, front and rear parking sensors and cruise control, and retain 18-inch alloys, Adaptive Chassis Control and tinted glass.



The car is available to order now with the entry-level car starting at £22,520 - a £515 rise over the outgoing car. However, VW is keen to point out that the extra standard kit is worth £1,000. The GT model now starts at £25,160, a rise of £1,000, yet the extra equipment value is £3,000.



The existing line-up of 1.8-litre TSI, 2.0-litre TSI and 3.6-litre V6 petrol engines and 2.0-litre TDI diesel engines remains, as does the choice of six-speed manual or DSG gearboxes.

2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

Volkswagen's baby-off roader is getting a fresh new face! Judging by these shots, the German firm will be hoping to bring the Tiguan into line with the rest of the VW range with a host of styling updates and revisions.



Hiding underneath the heavy camouflage will be the latest Volkswagen family face, including a cleaner grille and more angular headlights.



Meanwhile, at the rear the revisions will be harder to spot with only a slight re-design due for the tail-lights.



Engines will mostly mimic the current lineup and should include the turbo- and supercharged 1.4-litre TSI engine, as well as 1.6 and 2.0 TDI variants. All engines can be mated to a traditional six-speed manual gearbox or, as an option, to Volkswagen's semi-automatic DSG gearbox.



Expect to see the facelift revealed at the Paris Motor Show in October this year, with new models going on sale early next year.

2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Review

The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta arrived with a thud, followed by a chorus of boos and catcalls from the Vee-Dub faithful. Boring. Cheap. We’ve already detailed all of the fruits and faults of the plain-Jane Jetta here, but we’ll boil it down again. Larger, more spacious, class-leading rear-seat and trunk space, but a de-evolution in its technology, materials and presentation.

FAST FACTS

1. While the body and chassis have changed, the 2011 Jetta TDI relies on the same powertrain as last year, with 140-hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.2. Fuel economy ranks an impressive 30/42-mpg (city/hwy). 3. The base price of the new Jetta may have gone down significantly, but the TDI model has actually increased slightly to $22,995. 4. Much larger than the old Jetta, the 2011 model gains 2.7-inches of rear seat legroom.

To hit its new lower price of entry, the finished product is rougher around the edges compared to previous VW releases. A simpler, less expensive rear suspension that makes for a rougher ride, hard plastics in the interior and a return of the basic-but-ancient 2.0-liter four-cylinder are not positives. All done in an effort to deliver more value for the money and get more potential customers interested through a sub-$16,000 price tag.

TDI BRINGS TORQUE AND FUEL ECONOMY

Leave the sub-standard base model behind, though, and the Jetta improves, first with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, and later in 2011, a 200-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. But for now, the sweet spot has to be the excellent 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the top-line TDI model.
Although it’s carried over from the previous Jetta, it’s hard to criticize the 140-hp unit, especially when it produces 236 lb-ft of torque from a low 1750 rpm. With either the standard six-speed manual transmission or the optional six-speed DSG dual-clutch semi-automatic, the TDI hustles the 3,160-lb Jetta to 60 mph in 8.7 seconds, with a top speed limited to 130 mph.
Although the TDI turns the Jetta into a mean passing machine thanks to the extraordinary torque, the real benefit is fuel efficiency: 30-mpg in the city and 42-mpg on the highway, which smokes both the four- and five-cylinder engines in the less expensive trims.
That’s smoking not in a literal sense either. Unlike older diesel engines and semi-trucks, you won’t detect a whiff of anything coming out of the Jetta’s tailpipes. The high-pressure fuel rail runs at up to 1800 bar, and piezo-injectors regulate the fuel injection up to seven times per cycle. The result is a smooth-running, quiet diesel engine. The exhaust is cleaned up using a special catalytic converter, and the resulting gases easily pass the BIN5/ULEV2 emissions standards, meaning it’s 50-state legal.

SOME COMPROMISE ON HANDLING

The downside is that the diesel engine itself is heavier than the gasoline ones, which means the Jetta handles a little differently. Just a little more push through the front wheels, but nothing dramatic. Like any German car, it’s stable at speed, and an excellent highway cruiser.
While the last Jetta’s detractors pointed to its remarkable design similarity to a Toyota Corolla, the new version is improved. The body is tasteful and sleek, if bland from the rear. The big rear overhang does mean a huge trunk, though. At 15.5 cu-ft it’s the largest in the class, and the 60/40 split-folding rear seats can expand that space into the cabin if needed.

DIESEL WILL COST YOU

Befitting its range-topper status, the $22,995 TDI starts out very well equipped with 16-inch aluminum wheels, a blacked-out front grille, and heated exterior side mirrors with integrated turn signals. The interior features power windows, locks and mirrors, air conditioning, a six-speaker touch-screen sound system with Sirius Satellite Radio, heated seats, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel and moonroof.
The only options are chrome trim and fog lights outside, and inside, keyless push-button ignition, adjustable lumbar for the driver’s seat and a navigation system. Choosing the DSG transmission increases the price by $1,100, and adds steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. In this guise, the TDI has enough creature comforts to entertain on long commutes, but even with all the extras, the Jetta’s cabin materials don’t improve on the base model. There are still hollow plastics on the doors, dash, console and pillars, and the seats are wider and less supportive than before.
In terms of competition, it’s difficult to find any since it’s the only small diesel-powered car in North America (apart from the Golf TDI). And the other high-mileage technologies, like gasoline-electric hybrids, have completely different focus. The diesel does well on highways and at speed, while hybrids excel in urban environments where their big batteries and stop-start technologies squeeze every penny out of a tank of gasoline. Think hard about your driving patterns before investing in either.

THE VERDICT

The changes VW made for 2011 are – for better or worse – designed to appeal to a larger part of the buying public. For now, the diesel engine is the Jetta’s raison d’être. Without it, there are other compact sedans on the market that should be more reliable, more fuel efficient and more fun.

2011 Volkswagen Phaeton US, Review and Pictures

I've gone through the same financial pain with VHS. Thinking that I'd perfected my film-buff collection of videos I sat back to admire my handiwork only to be confronted with DVD. Well clearly DVD is better quality and doesn't wear out so, to the shops I went to upgrade Tarantino, Scorsese and Kubrick to sleeker versions. Now of course my DVDs are under threat from Blu Ray. Much to my Dad's displeasure having forked out for a High Definition DVD player, Blu Ray now has the HD market to itself and is releasing old and new on this format. I'd happily stick with DVD except my new HD TV isn't being fully exploited unless a Blu Ray player joins the party.

The Golf is available in four models

The Golf is available in four models: GL and GLS in two door or four door configurations. Both trims can be equipped with either a 1.9L 100 horsepower turbo diesel engine or a 2.0L 115 horsepower four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Available options on all models include an OnStar Telematics Communication System, electronic stability traction control, and port-installed six-disc compact disc changer and front and rear mudguards. The Cold Weather Package, available only on GLS models only, includes heated front seats and windshield washer nozzles. A Monsoon sound system comes standard on the all GLS model.

When you think of Volkswagen you will most likely think of the classic beetle since it is the car that really introduced the Volkswagen logo around the world. The first Volkswagen car was designed in 1934 by Ferdinand Porsche as a method of cheap reliable transport. Through the years VW have become a global force in the manufacturing sector getting bigger and bigger with every new design. Not to long after the beetle had been created and unveiled the Golf was released. The first generation of Golf or the rabbit as it was called by the Americans was launched in 1975 and was stopped in 1984. Through the years the Golf has gone from the original square body shape and gradually over the years become streamlined and round the first Volkswagen rabbit GTI was a very square body compared to the new golf introduced in 2006. Through the years the Golf has been fitted with a bigger engine but in addition has gained more weight the biggest engine that Volkswagen released in the Golf was the impressive Golf R32 with the 3.2 V6 engine in the front. The R32 is the most powerful of the whole Golf range because it is 4wd and it has 237BHP which isn't that great for a V6 I would have expected a lot more from Volkswagen.
