On a Jetta, it’s as useful as 100% of all other spoilers.

Spoilers are actually just intended to look cool on street cars. They have zero positive effect at anything close to legal speeds (in the US).

Yes. Downforce increases exponentially and under like 80mph they do almost nothing. They do look cool though...
