Premium Materials: The Jetta’s interior features high-quality materials throughout, from soft-touch plastics to available leather seating. Whether you opt for the base model or one of the higher trims, you’ll enjoy a cabin that feels premium without the premium price tag. Infotainment System: The Jetta comes equipped with the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, a 10-inch display that shows key driving information in crisp detail. The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system offers Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, making it easy to stay connected while on the go.

June 27th | Pine Hills Golf Club | Frankfort, NY The Steet Ponte Auto Group was proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of the First Annual Putts for a Purpose Charity Golf Tournament, held on Friday, June 27th at Pine Hills Golf Club in Frankfort, NY. What began with a goal of raising $10,000 for local charities quickly turned into a huge community win— over $11,000 was raised during this incredible day on the course!

As part of our sponsorship, we also offered a thrilling hole-in-one prize on Hole #14 —a 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible —which certainly turned heads throughout the day. One of the highlights of this tournament was that half of the funds raised—$5,500—will be donated to the MVHS Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network division, a cause very close to the Steet family’s heart. The Steet family has proudly supported the Children’s Miracle Network since 1989. This national nonprofit works to raise funds for local children's hospitals to help provide critical treatments, equipment, and services to children in need—ensuring that kids across the region have access to the best possible care, close to home. We extend our deepest thanks to Scott and Kelly Grates for organizing such a meaningful and well-executed event, and to everyone who came out to support the cause.
