Can someone please share their opinions on which vehicle I should buy next. I like the fuel economy of the fit, but the jetta has a lot of nice features. Please help me.

For it's size, the Fit's mileage isn't that great. I believe the Jetta would have similar mileage and is way nicer. Go for the Vdub.

Ok so I looked at both of these cars back in July of last year and I fell in love with the Jetta. But I ended up getting a new Nissan Sentra. You should look into it. I have the 2.0 S and it has the intellikey where you just have to have the key in a pocket and you can start the car. It also has the CVT transmission where you cant feel the car shift. Its roomy and I get awesome gas mileage. && I paid about $16k for it. I love it.

As a Fit owner, I can speak to it's economy. My wife and I drove from Bakersfield to San Diego, and then almost to Temecula, just south of Riverside this weekend. One tank of fuel, AND we were loaded to the rafters with "stuff".A superbly built little car (and it's a Honda) no squeaks, rattles, loud wind noises... Even my brother, a Toyota fan through and through, said it was a good little car.I have also owned VWs. Nowhere even CLOSE to the class of the car, VWs are noisy, unreliable, electrical system (especially) problem prone. I HAD a Jetta, and I was literally CONTINUALLY replacing electrical parts on it.Look at NHTSA.GOV, and look up the reliability and recall lists for the two of them, let that make the decision for you.Me, personally, I'll NEVER own another VW/Audi/Porsche. German built crap, all of them. I work with a doctor that has owned Mercedes and Porsche, and even HE says that he'll never buy another German car.

if you can wait for the 2009 Jetta TDI it will be a great car.if not the Honda Fit is a winner.standard power accessories, anti lock brakes and esc.

I'm a Fit owner, and a VW owner. The Fit Sport has everything you'll need. Cruise, an upgraded sound system, great fuel economy. My Fit Sport with a 5 speed Tranny gets 34/35 in the city with a slower paced driving style. The fold flat seats and fold-up seat configuration is great. Go with the Fit, you'll be happy.
