There are plenty of Volkswagen models to choose from and if you're not loyal to a specific model then it might be a hard decision. It's hard to narrow down exactly what model is the one for you but really you can't go wrong with any Volkswagen model. The Jetta is Volkswagen's compact sedan while the Golf is the most affordable option in the Golf family. Take a look as we compare the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta vs 2017 Volkswagen Golf.
Of course, the most obvious difference between the two VW models is the body style. While the Jetta is a traditional sedan, the Golf is a hatchback offering more cargo volume and interior volume overall. For those not so concerned with body style the Jetta and Golf both make great, affordable and practical options but of course, they have their differences.
