Jetta or xB?

[toeppe85]

so im faced with a decision. im looking to get a new car and have narrowed it down to these two. a brand new scion xB or a used jetta? I havent found a jetta yet, but i am open to anything. i like them both, but cant make up my mind. i put about 80-90 miles a day on my car, so i need something that is reliable, fairly good on gas and comfortable. let me know what you guys think.

i own a jetta.. love those cars.. my cousin just bought a scion tc.. those are really nice too.. the cost for both brand new are just about the same.. the xb sucks if you ask me.. jettas are really good reliable cars loaded with nice features.. the tc is a pretty sweet car too.. i think you should check that one out if youve been considering a scion

I like the Xb, what year Jetta are you thinking about?

[toeppe85]

it would probably be 2000 up jetta. im looking somewhere in the $10,000-$12,000 range.

Jettas are probably a nicer ride, but the problems they have would scare me into the Scion. I like their roominess, both inside & under the hood.

If you are going to drive those kinds of miles every day a jetta tdi would be the best. The xb is more for just cruising arround town, not really highway miles. They are fun to drive though!

i LOVE my 01 jetta GLS... im not quite sure what all scions have but my car has heated leather seats 6 disc cd changer heated side mirrors heated washer nozzles and a load of other nice features and i got it for 14,000 with 35,000 miles on it. its a really great car
