The Jetta (with 2.5) has average to above average reliability, according to CR. The Malibu is quite a bit larger. So if, for example, you ever want 3 in the back seat it is likely much more feasible to do in the larger Malibu.

go with the turbo! if you have not driven it yet, it rocks! we settled on the 2.5 for my wife, because she has a lead foot and the 2.0t would have gotten us in big trouble. It is a blast to drive!
