TTQ B4U Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 yeah, but 8.5 sec. to 60mph while not fast, isn't shabby for a family sedan that can handle nicely. dead even with a hybrid camry though good amount of torque though....and that's what I like about it.

Crossle Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 TDI ftw! I don't have one, but i love them when they come in at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 How the hell is my car not on there? Because WRX's only get shitty gas milage because the owners can't stay out of BEWST I've pulled 27mpg out of mine with cruise control. I average 23. Which for a 2.0 still kinda sucks.

People are like wow a 1.3 what are you getting, 25-30? No. It's a rotary. It uses a lot of gas. And oil. And money. Big injectors. Needs a lot of dino blood to function right.

88lx5oh Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 my si averages 28.. pretty shitty for a civic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 my wife's 1.6 sentra only gets about 30mpg on the freeway--pretty shitty if you ask me. i swear i got nearly that with my '90 grand prix--driving mostly in the city, i'd average 23mpg--i knew because the gas gauge was inaccurate, so i had to keep track of the mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bout the "gas guzzling pickup trucks" upon which they're based? WTF Retards.... "Gas guzzling suv's" are useless, the serve no point on the road and are usually outpreformed by any decent class sedan. "Gas guzzling pickup trucks" have been required by to build this great nation, and are respected by anyone who has to work for a living.

I average 23. Which for a 2.0 still kinda sucks. Best I have ever gotten on a 71 mph 2900RPM cruise controled cruise from findlay to Milwaukee is almost 24MPG, most of the time I am below 20. I get anywhere from 250 to 300 Miles per tank. Which is 17.8 - 21.4 MPG. I almost always get around 14 Gal in the tank at fill up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get about 250-300 miles per tank, 14 gallon fill ups, and usually around 18-22mpg city/highway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGRE Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 2008 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. 31 mpg city/39 mpg highway (est) Now that's an impressive gem that I could see owning. that's low, maybe because of then new emmisions standards put on diesel cars a year or two ago. it's very wierd that VW TDIs were rated 50MPG a couple years ago and are rated 36 this year, that sucks. there are no 2007 VW TDIs that i know of. bought a 2.4L G5 and it ONLY gets 28-34 real world http://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy/5yearhigh-low.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
