Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Jetta than the Cadillac CT4, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Jetta, the Cadillac CT4 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac CT4 as you will with the Volkswagen Jetta, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac CT4 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Jetta, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac CT4 is about the same width as the Volkswagen Jetta. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac CT4 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Jetta.

Handling
The Cadillac CT4 has about the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Jetta, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac CT4 has a much more powerful engine than the Volkswagen Jetta. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Cadillac CT4 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Volkswagen Jetta.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Cadillac CT4 and the Volkswagen Jetta.
