- 2008 /2009 Used Dodge Caliber Sxt 1.8L 5 speed
OR
- 2005/2004 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 5 speed

* Which one would give real world better mpg?

* Which one would cost more to maintain every year?

* Yes, the VW is German, but isn't the Dodge Caliber American/German(mercedes)engineering?

* When parts start to break which car would cost more, for things such as starters, alternators, clutches, water pump, alternator, cv axels?

* Which car would be safer in a car accident?

- I just need a cheap, but newer reliable car, that would be cheap to maintain in the long run and also get good fuel mileage. Especially, when gas rises up again.

Thanks for your help, mostly appreciated!
