The current Jetta looks just as much like a child’s drawing of a three-box sedan as it did back in 2010 when it was introduced. There’s a long rectangle propped on top of four wheels with a smaller rectangle on top of it, adorned with rectilinear headlights and taillights, door handles, and not much else. Whereas the nicer Jetta SEL and GLI stuff that casing with squishier, higher-quality interior finishes, the 1.4T S and SE (the latter being the model we drove for this review) make do with dashboards and door panels molded from hard plastics with a slight sheen. The only softly padded interior surfaces aside from the comfortable seats are each door’s armrest.
