I've been driving for over a decade, and the Jetta VS5's engine power is approximately 150 horsepower, which is quite practical for daily driving. It starts smoothly in the city without any hesitation, and overtaking on the highway is effortless, never feeling underpowered. I tend to drive conservatively, maintaining a fuel consumption between 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is economical. Regular maintenance is key—for example, changing the oil every six months and cleaning the spark plugs—to keep the engine performing at its best and extend its lifespan. Cars with too low power can struggle when climbing hills or carrying a full load, but the Jetta's 150 horsepower strikes the perfect balance between power and fuel efficiency. In terms of driving experience, the car handles smoothly with precise steering, making it especially suitable for city commuting and family trips. Overall, this power range is a sweet spot, easy for both beginners and experienced drivers to handle.
