The new Ford Freestar is not a great minivan, but it has a great fold-flat third-row seat and really good flip-forward middle-row captain's chairs. |

| 2008 2009 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon |
| 2008 2009 Volkswagen Jetta wagon is equipped with 17-inch wheels wrapped with 225/45 performance tires, part of the Sport Luxury package. They look great, but drivers will want to be particularly careful during pothole season with ultra low-profile tires. Overall, seams are tight and even. The Jetta looks more expensive than it is. The 2008 2009 2009 Volkswagen Jetta wagon looks just as expensive inside as it does outside. The layout is simple and straightforward. The instrument panel features a large 7500-rpm tachometer (redlined at 6500 rpm) and an optimistic 160-mph speedometer: at 80 mph the needle is straight up. The interior is arranged well for the enthusiast driver. The steering wheel has a thick rim shaped well for the hand, and a grippy leather covering. It tilts and telescopes, and the driver's seat ratchets up and down as well as slides fore and aft and reclines with the turn of a knob on the base of seatback. |

 The Jetta, especially with the 17-inch wheels, 45-series performance tires and sport suspension, gobbles up the twisties like a seven-year old goes after Fruit Loops. The Jetta has lots of lateral grip and the stability to utilize it. Shock absorber damping is compliant but firm, allowing the suspension to react to a bump in mid-corner and be done with it. The four-wheel disc brakes are remarkable in their casual effectiveness, very linear in result and with just the right amount of required pressure. The pedals are spaced well for the enthusiast, and a dead pedal to the left gives the driver place to brace the left foot. Driving enthusiasts who prefer a manual gearbox will be happier with the lively 1.8T and sport suspension of 2008 2009 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon. |
