| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Very surprised! Drive 80 Hwy / 20 City driving. If I watch how I accelerate (cruising speed not so much; I drive 110-125 on hwy). Averaging 6-7.5L/100km. (700+km per 55L tank every fill up). |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD |
Despite the supercharger and high performance, this vehicle gives me about 6.8l/100km on the highway on average - amazing fuel efficiency. This is a very welcome bonus. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD |
27mpg at 70mph |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Better than expected highway mileage. Averaged 34mpg on a 350-mile trip last weekend, keeping speed to about 60mph. Commuting mileage is acceptable. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
30mpg is easy to achieve with modest driving, even with the turbo. |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good tradeoff of performance and mileage. Previous VW 1.8t owner, viewed this as an upgrade. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
higher than others with less power |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
averaging 24.4 mpg - not bad |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Great fuel economy if driven easily, but is a great performer if pushed. Best of both worlds. |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Car is very fast yet still is a 4-cyl that gets 30mpg. Also has AWD without being an SUV that gets 18mpg. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
30+ MPG on the highway. |

fells like a sports car, is all wheel drive and still fuel efficient |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
30 to 35 mpg on rural highway, with an AWD vehicle! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
26+ mpg is great |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
I do all 80 kph roads and on those I get consistently low-40 mpg, 7 l/100k even though there is lots of tearing thru apexes and assaulting hills. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
for as much weight and features that this car carries, the gas mileage seems very liveable granted you drive it with a light touch. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Fantastic! i get 22-28 in the city ( depending on how I drive) and abouy 34-36 on higway using cruise control. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
27-29mpg |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
when you are cruising, 35+mpg is easily attainable |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Since it is a 4 cylinder it get me around 29mpg in the city and about 32-33mpg on the freeway |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD |
Avg about 18-20 mpg on real world highways. City can be as poor as 12-14. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Quattro and turbocharged engine form a thirsty combination. I would have expected 700+ highway kms but typically get only 600. |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 420-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
No 420hp car is going to sip fuel, but the fuel tank is small (14.5 gallons) and thus needs filled too often. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
The diesel version has MORE torque and power AND has a far better range (about 700 miles for 2L diesel engine), I dislike the 22-24 mpg for the combined driving (mostly city). Those are still good numbers for its class. Sucks when have to pay $3.87/gallon |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Overall fuel economy barely acceptable on premium fuel. Highway fuel economy is fine but city economy stinks. 21 MPG driving 70% highway miles. However, better than Infiniti G35x |
| 2007 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I guess this is average for a car like this. Keep off the turbo and things improve. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
only averaging 17 mpg |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not as good as advertised. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed manual AWD |
Not bad, but not great either |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
not as good as it should be in my opinion, although in line with the (newer more realistic) EPA figures. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
The great engine encourages the use of its power, which affects economy. All wheel drive does not help. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
Large SUV territory |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
If prices at the pump make your blood pressure rise, or make your wallet whimper...DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!<br /> City driving it will go through a tank in about 150 miles<br /> combined driving one tank is about 220 miles<br /> Highway driving, expect to see 350 to 400 miles from the 17 gallon tank. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
If driven aggressively, fuel economy is very poor. And it takes premium. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
EPA estimates are very low (19/27), though I usually get better than the estimates (25/33). |
| 2002 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Very poor economy for a small car |
| 2001 | 4dr Wagon 190-horsepower 2.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Fuel economy was OK, but not great. For a car this size it is lower than I would like to see. We averaged 19 MPG just about everywhere. Our average driving is a mix of highway and town. AWD and a V6 take their toll. Also the car is on the heavy side. |
| 2000 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6 6-speed manual AWD |
Low economy. Compared to other newer cars. Requires premium. |
