With time-tested reliability and a reputation for quality, both Toyota and Volkswagen have battled each other to gain the respect and business of car shoppers. Two of their most popular models are often put side by side when looking for a trusty sedan to get you from point A to point B, and while it can be difficult deciding which is right for you, we’ve done the dirty work for you. Check out the comparisons below of the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta vs 2017 Toyota Corolla.
We can talk about the extra gadgets and features all day, but when it comes to the dirty work, the Jetta cleans up quite well in comparison to the Corolla. The base engine, a 1.4L turbo, ensures you have enough power to get up the steepest hills and roughest terrain but it merely sips on the fuel. Unfortunately the Corolla doesn’t quite match up, and you’ll see why in the table and additional comparisons below.
