The '06 Jetta is great to drive. It handles very well and feels solid. The steering on the '96 Benz feels just a bit more disconnected from the road, but otherwise it handles every bit as good as the Jetta.
But if you're a passenger, the Benz is hands-down a much better ride under all circumstances. There is no comparison. You don't seem to feel all of those road vibrations when you're driving.

96 Benz VS 06 Jetta??? 10 years apart... how about 06 Passat TDI and 06 MB E320 CDI?? Would you like to compare them?? They are at the same level. Jetta is equivalent of C class Mercedes, lets level the field if we are going to compare.
They are many Diesel Mercedes models and every one of them is miles ahead of any VW...unfortunately not a single one of them is for sale in the US
A-170; A-200CDI ; B-170 ; B-200CDI ; C 200 ; C220CDI ; E220CDI... just to mention a few...
Every one of the above models is capable of returning 45+ MPG without breaking a sweat.
