| 2013 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Spectacular. I'm completely sold on diesel. Car can get well over 40mpg on the highway. Worst I've seen thus far is ~36mpg on a tank. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
Good fuel economy for a sport car w/ some cargo space. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
28-30mpg while getting o it! |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Higher than expected for a turbo engine (average about 30 highway and 22 city). |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
I am getting 30+ MPG in mixed 50/50 city/hwy driving. Hwy MPG if <70 MPH is easily 34 MPG+. If it had 7 gears, MPG at 70+ would be far better. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
While the 2.0T has power to spare, it can also achieve excellent economy when driven lightly. I average 26 mpg/city with spirited driving, and I hit 32 mpg/highway easily (36+ mpg when babying it). The DSG transmission is more efficient than a manual too! |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Great for its performance class |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
great for the power and size of the vehicle. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Close to 30 mpg day to day; over 30 mpg on the highway. |

20mpg city 24 mpg highway |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
23 cty/30 hwy - this is great fuel economy in a car that can get up and go on the interstate, but still zip around town in style. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
26mpg real life |

Fuel efficient. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
I got over 30mpg highway, which was quite amazing given the size and weight of the car. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
I have the APR Stage 2 chip with a catless downpipe. Putting down about 235hp and 250tq. On a recent 250 mile each way trip I got 28mpg at 70mph. Going up many hills and possibly passing some people with my foot on the floor. TL;DR V6 power with 2.0 mpg. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
31-33 mpg highway at avg 75 mph. |
