Yup.....18-20mpg doesn't seem like anywhere close to normal. Day to day suburban driving (mix of short trips, cross-town highway runs etc) I typically average 26ish MPG. Longer runs on the interstate even cruising about 85-90 I typically get 30mpg.
Yes I understand, but three? Why?
Took my kid to the zoo yesterday...didnt dally or drive like a grandpa, but I also drove with giving people more room due to my son in the car. It's 17 mi each way and I averaged 28.6 one way and 28.2 the other.
Ouch. Starting in the mid 50s. We both are but lowly public servants. Tiguan SE money is more realistic.
My questionableWHP R gets 20 mpg on e76.

Nice pickup! They make a beautiful red.Well, it finally happened. I traded the gti for an Integra type s! I test drove the new mk8 gti, an mk7.5 r, mk8 r, rs3, g80 m3, and the Integra. On father's day my daughter was born, and with two kids, the gti just wasn't quite large enough so I needed rear seats that could fit both car seats. The type s was by far the funnest, had very reasonable room in the rear, and the only car I couldn't stop thinking about.
Certainly some things are not up to German quality in the interior, especially the plastics, but then again the new mk8 also felt way cheaper interior wise than the the mk7. The type s transmission is the second best I've used, regardless of price. It's dramatically better than the manual in the mk7 and 8. I'm also just glad to be out of a dsg. The only car better transmission wise was a lotus exige.

I will definitely miss the gti! It was a blast and the car that lasted in my garage the longest! I almost kept it, but my wife was not into the idea of having 4 cars again

! Definitely a sleeper.Not sure how "sleeper" it is considering I've had a lot of people stop and walk around the car in parking lots. One guy outside of my kid's swim lesson place walked two circles around it with me in the car... Don't think he even noticed I was in it,That’s sharp
