6 Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, April 10th, 1980 ADVERTISING FEATURE BY BERT BOLTON THE JETTA AGE
IF YOU know the difference bet ween a “hatchback” and a “notch- back” then you should be able to recognise your boot from your tail gate.
I f all that is just
a little too much for you, dear reader, forgive me. It was just a neat way of my introducing you to Volkswagen’ s most recent offering to the U K car mar k et — the Jetta. The Jetta, take my
word for it, is a stylish four door, five-seater
saloon car with a boot which can only be de scribed as mammoth. The cavernous lug
gage section is where the “notch” part comes in — te rm in o lo g y aimed at distinguishing the rear end of the vehicle from the sliced- off hatchback, which has become extremely popular in rec en t years.
However, cars with
the “traditional” boot still outnumber the hatchbacks in the UK.
LUXURIOUS
The Jetta clearly*iy owes much to the Goff
— VW’s high selling hatchback. In fact, if you imagine a Golf with a “ traditional” rear end, boot lid and
all, then you have the Jetta. . Like the Golf, the Jetta comes in a wide va r iety of models, ranging from a 1300 cc. version with “L” trim, to a luxuriously fitted out 1600 cc, fuel-injec tion GLi model which will top 110 mph. Vol kswagen also intends to market a model equipped with its world-selling diesel engine.

The model has a lot
going for it and will make considerable rip ples in the pool shared by cars such as the Ford Cortina, Fiat Miafiori, Renault 18
and Vauxhall Cavalier. It is a car which,
with its attractive and extreme ly durable bodywork and trim (as behoves the makers of the ubiquitous Beetle); its choice of three engine sizes - and two levels of “ fittings” , seems destined to take

POSITIVE Let me say, here
and now, after only a fairly brief acquaint ance with the model,
local Volkswagen main dealers, Martins, of Accrington Road, I am more than impressed with its performance, style — and the solid manner in which it has been packaged. I found the 1500 cc
through the goodwill of • • Vo-
version extremely flex ible and responsive.
On the road it be
haved impeccably, clinging like a leech through tight • corner ing. All controls fell comfortably — and naturally — to hand. Gear changes were sweet and positive. The instruments
were easy to read and the in t e r io r was roomy, with plenty of knee space in the rear. There was plenty of
neat little parcel shelf for the front seat pas senger. The glove box was small.
Engine noise, when
pushing, was “there” — but not maddeningly so. All in all, a very
satisfying, and com fortable, car.
Volkswagen say the
Jetta has been de signed for low-cost maintenance. The gear-
box, steering gear, suspension ana wh bearings, for instance,
eel-
are “care” free. Fit and forget, in fact. T h e . gearbox and clutch can be whipped tou ching
out without the
engine. Front
wings are bolt-on for easy replacement, and other body panels are sectioned for low-cost repairs. Thehe entire body shel-

particularly impressive in its fuel consumption, bearing in mind its high performance — 0 to 60 in 9.5 seconds
