VW has updated the 2022 Jetta with a 1.5 turbo base engine and added a Sport trim.
The Sport trim is available with a manual transmission or 8 speed automatic (not a CVT) and includes 17" alloys, sportier suspension and electronically locking front differential.
With the torquier turbo I assume it will be faster than the Civic Sport. And has more tuning potential. I also assume Civic wins for handling, reliability and resale value.
Would you cross shop the Jetta with a Civic Sport Hatchback?
