My evaluation:

If you are looking for a sporty hatchback, you couldn't do better.  I personally prefer the easier access to the back seats, and the 4-door insurance discount that the Jetta offers, however from a stying standpoint I think the Golf is a beautiful car.  It has the coolest headlights of any production automobile, with the possible exception of the Dodge Viper.  The overall preformace, especially with the VR6, is very impressive.  After driving the Golf and Jetta back to back I would definately say the Golf feels sportier.  It probably has more to do with the Golf weighing about 100-150 lbs. less than the Jetta than anything else, since their specs are almost identical..
