So i have to find something in the middle. My wife doesn't like the way my car drives, but she likes her 2010 jetta.
It will drive very much like your car and not much like a Jetta. The X1 is based on the E90 chassis, so it's going to drive just about the same as an xDrive E91 wagon, but a bit taller. If she wants a tall Jetta, the Tiguan is pretty nice, albeit slow and thirsty.
