A dynamic sedan that is incredibly enjoyable to drive, the Volkswagen Jetta features an interior that is even more tech forward and comfortable this year. Offered at an extremely competitive base price, it keeps renewing and evolving while remaining iconic and instantly recognizable.
Overview
A true little marvel of German engineering, the VW Jetta returns this year at a price of only $29,688 at Complexe VW 440 in Laval, on the North Shore of Montreal, near Terrebonne and Montreal-North.
