The Volkswagen Jetta, or the VW Jetta is a car that is made by the Volkswagen Company and is basically a sedan variation of the Volkswagen Golf. The name VW Jetta was used only in South Africa and North America until 2005. Volkswagen used the names Vento and then Bora in Europe. The VW Jetta was made because the marketing people at Volkswagen were astute enough to realize that the people in the United States preferred to drive sedan model cars as opposed to hatchback models like VWs Golf car. South Africa shows similar preferences and so marketing for both America and South Africa remains almost identical. Volkswagens marketing team proved that they made advantageous observations as the Jetta eventually became the best selling European car in the United States.
The Jetta first made its debut in North America in 1980. It was available as either a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan. This model had a different version called the Volkswagen Fox that was sold only in South Africa. The original US VW Jetta model was manufactured and sold from 1980 though 1984.
The next generation of VW Jettas proved to be the most successful for Volkswagen and remained in production...
