i love auto's. my old shogun is an auto and ive just bought the wife a dsg golf gti. its brilliant. :

[Stevoraith]

apologies for the boring chat, but you will also NEVER go to the petrol station again - those things run about 60mpg!

Steady!

Assuming it's the 170bhp then it's the same engine as my Octavia.
Will get 55mpg on a run, maybe 60 if you tread very lightly but over a tank 45mpg is what you can expect.

Still excellent for the performance but not 60mpg frugal unfortunately.

Struggling to see 30 so far. Comfy though.

Change up to 2nd gear then.

My 640d does 38mpg - what are you doing to it?

And it gets that with a fair bit of country road blasting on a daily basis.

Your Audi should see about 600 miles to a tank.

Thread resurrection.

50 mpg my arse, now I don't deny in theory it would do 50 but in practice I struggled to see 40. And if driven in a spirited fashion I got it down to 27.

And you know, whilst lovely to be in it had wayyy too much grip for it's power and, when pressed, a tendency to understeer and very little else. And once the novelty had worn off I don't like DSG boxes...

And Mr McApe assures me his Golf got 39 to the gallon. And that's a petrol! And I wouldn't feel guilty about sticking bikes in it as it already a tad careworn.

So I sold the Audi and bought a Golf!

From Neil!

And it was equally painless (although Craig sells you a clean car). A couple of worries at the start which Neil was ace about and now I have a Golf!

Which is far more me.

But it is does like a drink...

[StiflerMR2]

I manage 38mpg in my GTI so the ape is correct!

Welcome to the cardigan brigade, everyone loves a golf

[Dominic]

I'm with Pete, my GTi enjoyed a drink - spent most of it's time in the mid 20's mpg. Great car though!

[pete]

Yeah I got he paint fixed and cleaned it and now it does between 33 (motorway) and 28. OK 23. OK on the drive home last night it was 18.3.

But I have seen 39...

[mwmackenzie]

My passat 2.0tdi 140, manual usually gives me 50MPG on commute Edinburgh to Dunfermline but I can get 59.5MPG if I'm careful, think I have a pic somewhere of it saying average 60.2MPG but that was driving like my dad trying to max out the MPG to see what was doable.. I can't understand why your A3 was so bad?

[pete]

. I can't understand why your A3 was so bad?

It wasn't the car, I have an uncluttered commute and I'm always running late. If I sat at 70 it used hardly any fuel...

[mckeann]

Glad your liking the Golf Pete. I'm still car or van less. Kind wish i hadnt sold it still.

[Rag_It]

Some awesome lease deals on Golf GTD's kicking about just now - great looking car!

Never saw as high as 39. I would get about 32 on motorway, and as you say 23ish otherwise. Around 7mpg on track.

If i was paying for that gas mileage i'd be wanting something tastier than a golf to drive.... that's M3 territory surely?
