How the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Compares With Its Competitors

Pricing, power, fuel economy and drivetrain help define how the Jetta fits within the 2011 compact sedan market. The Jetta starts at $15,365, and MSRP excludes tax, title, registration and dealer fees.

Against the 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer, the Jetta has a lower starting MSRP than the Lancer's $15,295 starting MSRP only when comparing the Jetta's broader model range incorrectly, so shoppers should review each vehicle's specific configuration and pricing. The Lancer offers 148–237 horsepower, 17–25 city MPG and 25–33 highway MPG, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive; the Jetta's 115 to 170 horsepower, 23 to 30 city MPG and 29 to 42 highway MPG favor efficiency-focused sedan shoppers, while the Lancer's available all-wheel drive and broader power range may suit buyers prioritizing drivetrain choice or performance.

The 2011 Kia Forte starts at $14,995 and produces 156 horsepower with front-wheel drive and regular unleaded fuel. The Jetta's $15,365 starting MSRP and 115 to 170 horsepower range give shoppers more trim and powertrain variation, while the Forte's lower starting price may appeal to buyers focused on initial cost.

The 2011 Mazda 3 starts at $15,800 and offers 148–167 horsepower, 20–25 city MPG and 28–33 highway MPG with front-wheel drive and regular unleaded fuel. The Jetta's 23 to 30 city MPG and 29 to 42 highway MPG range favors shoppers focused on fuel economy, while the Mazda 3's power range may appeal to those comparing gasoline performance within the compact sedan class.
