Vw jetta or scion tc?

i am looking for a car for highschool...i want something that is reliable, fun to drive, and will last a long time. I like the VW Jetta (current bodystyle) and Scion TC. I would buy used, not new....I like the Jetta because it's more upscale then a Mazda 3, and the TC is very sporty and has lots of standard features...which would u recommend?
