My wife owns a Jetta and I own an SUV that gets 21mpg in the city. The only time it's worth driving her car over mine is long road trips.

The base model is priced pretty well. In my area (Toronto) diesel is a little bit cheaper than regular gasoline, although I pay a premium for bio. The city mileage isn't that much lower, maybe 1/3. You also loose about 10-15% in winter.
Many cars on that list are more expensive than a VW.
