The Jetta is not great. Nor is the new Passat. Both have been biggified and decontented to appeal to mass market Americans.
The Golf still feels German, and has much nicer interior materials.
The R is really hard to argue with. It’s very fast, AWD, not terribly expensive, and has a Swiss Army knife utility to it. It’s also fun to drive, though being honest the car’s biggest weakness is that it doesn’t really sing to me. I like it, and I can’t think of anything I’d rather own for the price...but I don’t *love* it.
