With used car values being at an all-time high, I have a chance to trade my subcompact 2009 Hyundai Accent for a slightly larger car. I can get a 2011 Jetta S for $17,265 that will get pretty much the same fuel economy as my Accent, have a little more room inside, and have higher crash safety scores.
The 2.0 is the only gasoline engine I am considering given the poor reliability and so-so fuel economy of the 2.5 I-5 engine. I know this engine makes only 115hp, so it leaves the performance of a Jetta somewhat underwhelming, but it's an economy car. I'm used to 110 horsepower from my Accent. This engine is old enough to belong in a museum instead of a new 2011 car, but does it have a good reputation for being robust and reliable?
