Oct 30, 2017

Hotel rooms, computers, plane tickets, and a number of other things come with a variety of options. From the outside looking in, each choice may seem pretty similar, but it’s the details that set each one apart from the other. One hotel room may feature a different view from another, computers have countless features that influence price and performance, plane tickets offer different schedules and amenities. The same is true for cars. Two, seemingly identical, cars can be next to one another at a dealership, but there can be some big differences. So let’s take a closer look at the Jetta SE and Jetta SEL.
