The ONLY valid reason for getting a Jetta (or any VW) is if you are so 
hard-up to run bio-diesel that you stay awake at night twitching 
thinking about all the gasoline wasted everyday.  They have had mucho 
difficulty competing in the "middle market" between efficiencies and 
luxury.  So, basically, everything looks nice when you buy it and you 
are fascinated right up until the 3rd or 4th headlamp you have to 
replace because VW crams all the cheapest parts they can find into 
their cars.  In short, VW sucks (sorry, zman!).

Honda rules the world.  Honda will kick your ass.  Don't f*ck with 
Honda.

And if you're gonna buy a Civic, I would recommend spending the extra 
$$$ to get the Hybrid model (or consider the Toyota Prius Hybrid).  All 
other cars suck.

Oh, and the whole bio-diesel thing is a sham for the most part.  The 
amount of pollutants pushed outta their tailpipes should make those 
hippies hang their heads in shame.

This advice was free to you.
