Reeves Import Motorcars

We recently discovered an MSN Auto list of The Top 10 Recommended Automobiles of 2009 and noticed one glaringly obvious detail:

Volkswagen is on the list twice.

It’s hard to drive on the road for more than 5 minutes without seeing a Volkswagen.  Why are these cars so popular?  What’s all the hype about?  Well, read up yet another positive review of the 2009 VW Jetta TDI:

2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI

Percentage of owners who recommend: 92 percent

What the studies say: The VW Jetta was the most recommended midsize car and the third-most satisfying in AutoPacific’s most recent studies. It also gets the “Recommended” mention from CR in spite of its “average” reliability rating. The new TDI sedan is the magazine’s third-highest-scoring “entry-level family sedan,” but its direct-injection turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel engine is too new to be rated for reliability.

MSN evaluation: The Jetta sedan is an attractive, fun-to-drive, roomy and practical car with clear and well-laid-out instruments and controls. The SportWagen version, new for 2009, has the same basic virtues and is a stylish, affordable and agile alternative to CUVs, SUVs and minivans. Both cars are exceptionally frugal, with the smooth, modern, odor-free and smokeless TDI diesel, which returns up to 41 mpg on the highway.

Does perception meet reality? Yes
