Review:
You might think that the 2011 Jetta SportWagen is simply a wagon version of the 2011 Jetta sedan, but you’d be wrong. While VW completely redesigned the Jetta sedan for 2011, the SportWagen has barely been touched—meaning that in 2011 there are two new Jettas available with very different styling. So, if you like the looks of the old Jetta and are in the market for a new diesel, this may be your last year to take advantage of it as VW will likely phase in the new styling with an updated SportWagen soon.
