In this video, we take a look at the mechanicals of a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, including detailed looks at the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, steering and cooling system. The engine is a 1.4L inline 4 cylinder paired with an 8 speed automatic transmission. The VW Jetta GLI uses a 2.0L 4 cylinder EA888 engine with a dual clutch automatic (or manual) transmission. We examine the places where Volkswagen has over-engineered this small car and made things complicated, and other places where they've cut corners to keep the costs competitive in the small car segment.

Overall, the Volkswagen Jetta does reasonably well with build quality (for being made in Mexico) compared to many of its competitors. It falls short on ease of maintenance and potential for reliability problems down the road, not to mention the odd placement and special tools required to access basic items.
