German engineering isn't just about creating a faster car. Or a tighter ride. Or even the most fuel-efficient engine. VW is not merely designing the sleekest silhouette. Or the roomiest cargo space. Or the most breathtaking sunroof. And even though they place safety at the top of our list, they are not in this solely to get recognition for their success. Or to break records. Or to add extra safety features just to be safe. At Volkswagen, they are about all of these things happening together, beautifully and precisely, to create a car that's actually fun to drive. And here at Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Atlanta we're not just selling any car, we're introducing people to the power of German engineering!

Performance Breeze around town
The Jetta is named after the German word for jet stream, which means that driving one feels a lot like having the wind at your back and speed on your side. Its gutsy available 2.5L, 170-hp, in-line five cylinder engine with 177 lbs/ft of torque means quick acceleration and passing power, and when the light turns green, some serious get up and go. It boasts an impressive 33 highway mpg* that helps you effortlessly tick off hours of freeway travel, and when things slow down, the pleasure of driving it makes stop-and-go and don't-go-at-all traffic a lot more fun? Especially here in Atlanta. On the TDI model, you can add the available DSG® transmission. Not only is it one of the fastest shifting transmissions, but it also helps provide seamless acceleration and increased fuel efficiency? Or as we call it here at Jim Ellis VW of Atlanta, the best of both worlds.

TDI clean diesel Leave the competition at the pump
Here at Jim Ellis VW of Atlanta, offering a vehicle that is stingy on fuel and also able to get you onto the entrance ramp of I-85 is desirable to our customers in the Atlanta area. The 2012 Jetta TDI Clean Diesel is the engineering equivalent of having your cake and eating it too. It achieves an astonishing 42 highway mpg and travels up to 609 miles on a single tank* without sacrificing one bit of turbocharged performance. That's all thanks to the TDI technology. The TDI engine uses a direct injection system and runs on ultra-low-sulfur diesel, helping reduce sooty emissions by up to 90% compared to previous diesel engines. You can even choose the available DSG automatic transmission with Tiptronic to take that turbocharged engine to a whole new level.

Comfort An inside look at living large
When you come to Jim Ellis Volkswagen Atlanta and climb inside the 2012 Jetta, you probably won't think it's going to be this spacious. Or this functional. But the 2012 Jetta has enough rear legroom to have an impromptu backseat dance party, and a trunk so big it almost has an echo. In fact, you can carry up to five adults and all of their gear in this not- so-compact sedan. Or use the 60/40 split to fold the rear seats down and fill up the trunk with a stroller or shopping bags from Lenox Mall. Or both. Which is especially useful if you're a parent who lives in the Atlanta area.

The interior of the 2012 Jetta is an elegant and simple example of what a compact sedan should be. And in our case, simplicity doesn't mean sacrifice. It means available comforts like durable V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces, heated front seats, a power glass sunroof, and driver's side lumbar support. And great features like one-touch automatic window controls for all four windows. It's kind of amazing how much we fit in there. Especially when you see the price? Everything you come to expect from Jim Ellis VW Atlanta.

Design Big on everything but compromise
When VW set out to design the 2012 Jetta, they promised themselves that they wouldn't skimp on anything. In fact, maybe their engineers took that thinking a little too seriously. Because everything is just a little bit bigger and better, from the more than three feet of rear legroom to the impressive amount of trunk space. So please feel free to smile every time someone checks out your new ride. Just expect them to be stunned if you tell them the deal you got from Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Atlanta.
Safety Active
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) ASR helps prevent the wheels on your Jetta from spinning when you accelerate by denying engine power in situations when it senses wheel slippage.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) You have enough to think about without having to remember to check your tires. So we added the TPMS to help monitor tire pressure and inform you of any loss in pressure.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Not only does ABS help keep the brakes from locking up during sudden stops, it also helps you retain control over the steering in the event of emergency braking.
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) HBA helps ensure that you get the maximum power from the brake system by judging the suddenness of the braking and applying extra pressure when you need it most.
Electronic Stability Control ESC helps prevent oversteer or understeer during an evasive maneuver by applying corrective forces to each of the wheels. In other words, it helps you maintain control.
Passive
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) After the airbags* have been deployed in a collision, the ICRS automatically unlocks all doors, disables the fuel pump, and turns on the interior lights.** That's why we call it intelligent.
Safety cage Every Jetta has a specially reinforced safety cage complete with anti-intrusion side beams and heat-formed B-pillars, designed to help protect you in the event of a collision.
Crash-optimized front end Integrated right into the front structure of your 2012 Jetta are impact-absorbing elements that allow for compression during a collision. That helps minimize the energy that reaches you.
Pressure sensors for side airbags Pressure sensors within the doors help reduce precious reaction time by responding instantly to a breach in the outside door panels and triggering the Side Curtain Protection®airbags.*
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children LATCH is the federal government's standard child seat attachment system. It makes it easier to secure LATCH-compatible child seats to your 2012 Jetta to help keep your current (and future) children safe.

Features Standard
Best-in-class rear legroom The days of sliding the front seats up to make room for your passengers are over. The 2012 Jetta comes standard, naturally, with over three feet of best-in-class rear legroom.* That's enough space for Atlanta Hawks to be comfortable. Of course, you have to meet one first before you offer him a ride.
Auxiliary input (AUX-in) for MP3 players Remember the days of using a cassette adapter for your MP3 player to play it through your car stereo? Neither do we. Thanks to the AUX-in on your 2012 Jetta, you can connect your iPod® or other portable music player directly to your stereo. No more clicks or hisses from the cassette, just beautiful music. Okay, maybe we do remember.
One-touch power windows with pinch protection One-touch power windows are definitely one of those small luxuries that you're guaranteed to love. Especially when it comes standard on all four windows. And if there are a few unsuspecting fingers still feeling the breeze when you go to raise the windows in one touch, never fear. Automatic pinch protection to the rescue.
Power-heated exterior mirrors Our side-view mirrors are heated to help defrost snow, ice, and fog for greater visibility on all those chilly mornings and frigid evenings that you have to get in your 2012 Jetta and go. Not to mention the cold days in between.
15.1 cubic feet of trunk space Inside the very stylish trunk is 15.1 cubic feet of storage space. It's class-leading too.* But since you're probably not used to thinking in terms of cubic feet, let us translate. That means luggage for a long vacation, shopping bags from Perimeter Mall, all the gear for your kid's soccer game, or just about anything else you can dream up.

With your keys in your pocket or purse, your door will automatically unlock when you grip the door handle. Then, once you're inside, a simple press of the start button turns on the ignition so you can drive off on your next adventure.
Touchscreen navigation system If you're prone to getting lost in Atlanta, don't worry. This five-inch color touchscreen navigation system has the power to help guide you almost anywhere you want to go, and back again. And it'll play all the tunes you want along the way.
