I test drove a TDI Jetta last year and loved it. We ended up buying a Turbo Passat for a little more room (Wife's choice - I preferred the Jetta TDI).
We looked at Honda Accords, Lexus IS, Malibus, Maximas, BMWs and probably some I forgot. The VWs won out on everything we were looking for hands down: comfort, bells & whistles, headroom/legroom, trunk space, economy, power
We've had the car about 18 months now and would buy another one today if we had to. We will definitely look at VWs first next time the wife is due for a new car.
By the way, that little tiny engine can crank out some HP. It's surprisingly quick , rides like a Benz, handles like a sports car and gets 30 mpg.
