The new Jettas have come under a lot of criticism regarding their cost cutting methods (interior has taken the major hit) so I'm not sure the new ones excel there. The Golf admittedly competes more with the compacts rather than the extreme-budget plastic subcompacts, so the Ford Focus, Veloster (arguably), Mazda3, Prius, rather than the Fiesta, Accent, 2, and Yaris, respectively.
