Honda Fit Vs Volkswagen Golf TDI



So I need help,  I have done hours of research test drove dozens of cars and I cant decided what car do get.   I hoping that making this video and capturing all my thoughts will help me decide

I currently I drive a 2001 Toyota tundra that is approaching 200K miles and sooner or later I will need to replace it.  For the past 10 years this truck has been perfect, but at some point the transmission or the engine will break and I will need a new ride.
What im looking for is a vehicle that is
Reliable
Roomy
Gets good gas mileage
Low cost of ownership
and Fun to drive

Im a big fan of consumer reports so I started my data collection with then like everyone else I turned to youtube.  And finally I went down to the dealer  and took a test drive.
From that I narrowed my search to the fallowing 5 cars.
VW Golf TDI other Golfs got a poor reliability scoring
Honda Fit sport
Hyundai Elantra
Mazda 3
Ford Fiesta

First car that I test drove was the Hyundai Elantra the car looks nice but im too tall for it, my head pressed agents the roof
Next was the Mazda 3 I also liked this car but the air-conditioning is just to week for Arizona summers
The Ford Fiesta had too small of a seat and it felt narrow

So that just leaves the Honda Fit and the Golf TDI
At 17248 the Honda fit is really good practical car it gets good  Fuel economy, the front and back seats are conferable even for me.  With all the different ways you can fold the seat this car can be transformed into a something that carry lots of stuff, and since its a Honda it should be relabel.  The VW on the other hand is 7k more, not as reliable, and not as convenient as far as caring stuff.  But their is just something fun about driving a VW which is worth something, I just don’t know if its 7K worth of fun.
