VW Jetta:: TDI diesel costs $35,490, $2500 more than the non-turbo FSI petrol model, but $4500 less than the FSI Turbo DSG.
Recovering the cost was made easier at the time of the test when the price of diesel was about the same as regular unleaded — about $1.39 a litre, or just a cent or two more expensive, depending on which servo you bought the fuel from.
The fuel price picture was even brighter for the diesel because the FSI petrol Jettas use premium unleaded, which at the time was seven cents a litre more expensive than diesel at $1.46 a litre.

 VW Jetta gets top side-crash rating from insurance group - Apr. 25, 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In the institute's side-impact crash test, a barrier strikes the car at the height of an occupant's head, which it said simulates the kind of crash that happens when an SUV or pickup hits a car from the side.
Volkswagen requested the front and side tests of the Jetta early in the model year, and the Institute's policy is to grant such requests if a manufacturer provides reimbursement for the cost of the vehicles.
The institute's frontal crash test is more demanding on the vehicle than the full-frontal test used by the federal government because the force of the impact is transferred to only the driver's side of the car.

Secondly, the materials in the Jetta are more richer than that in the cobalt and the Jetta offers far more features.
About two years ago I was thinking about a Jetta Wagon with the 1.9L TDi since it got 49mpg highway, had lots of torque and was built in Germany, but it was too small for me, and I would've wanted to spend another $5K in upgrades.
