According to experts, the fifth generation Volkswagen Jetta from Germany can also be an excellent alternative to the Ford Focus.

Experts recommend choosing versions with a 1.6-liter naturally-aspirated engine with 102 horsepower. This engine has proven its simplicity and reliability, capable of running up to half a million kilometers without serious problems.
The gearbox is also reliable. Proper maintenance of a classic four-speed automatic transmission will provide at least 300 thousand km without problems, and a manual transmission promises even more.
In addition to this, the fifth generation Volkswagen Jetta has a strong suspension and excellent corrosion protection in the body.
Previously, the website “Behind the Wheel” compiled a rating of cars whose price does not exceed 500 thousand rubles.
