2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
I'm a big fan of station wagons, and I really enjoyed the last two Jetta sedans I drove (an '08 Jetta SE an an '07 Jetta GLI) -- so I was really looking forward to testing the new-for-2009 Jetta wagon. As wagons go, the Jetta SportWagen (yes, it's spelled with an "e") seems to hit all the high pointsSo is the Jetta SportWagen the wagen -- er, wagon -- of my dreams? Read on. 2009 VW Jetta SportWagen: Tested by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.

2008 Volkswagen New Beetle test drive
The Volkswagen New Beetle is now in its 10th year of production -- and that's an awfully long shelf life for a car that was designed to be a novelty. Is the New Beetle still relevant? I spent a week with a base-model New Beetle to find out. Tested by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.

2008 Volkswagen Jetta SE test drive
The Jetta sedan is the best-selling car in Volkswagen's model lineup. I've always admired the Jetta for its family-friendly interior and exceptional safety record, and I love the hot-rod GLI version -- but I've always found the plan-vanilla Jetta a little dull. Has anything changed for 2008? Yes -- just enough, as it turns out, to change my opinion. Tested by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.
