Compared to Japanese cars, German cars need much more maintenance. This is especially true of the Jetta. However, if you get the Jetta TDI, which has the diesel engine, it's gonna last you a long time. The torque is also excellent for getting you out of the snow.

I agree with excelblue on visiting the dealership. We can tell you all the stuff you want but it is you that is going to be driving the car. So go test drive or even just sit in the car to find out which one best fits you. Before we bought the Honda Fit, we tested out civic, accord, toyota corolla, camry, and matrix before finally settling on the Fit.
with VW, I've heard that they are prone with electrical issues. TDI will last a long time and has excellent power, but I'm just too paranoid about the non-engine stuff. That's just me though.
Do whatever you want
