Default Re: good review!

I'm surprised at the low gas mileage..I have the 3.0 CVT ( US version) and I average 25-27MPG at 80 MPH on the highway. 17-18 MPG in the city. I'd love to drive the manual version, just not available here.
I test drove both the sport suspension and regular suspension. I went with the regular--I felt the sport suspension was too harsh and made the cars' cowl shake more evident. But I think this is a matter of taste in driving--I have a friend who loves his sport version. I do have the sport seats as well, and I agree that they are more supportive--although my driver's seat is being replaced again , something underneath the seat is broken and the leather is coming apart.
Great review!

Default MPG

My wife drives 4 miles in city during the week and gets 20 mpg out of a 2.4 manual sport and when we do motorway driving we get about 28mpg. Not good but that's part of the price you pay for such a great car!

Default Re: MPG

I have a 2.4 Multitronic and I get 25/27MPG in town and 29/34MPG on the Motorway.

Pretty good I think for such a heavy car.

Default Mole, which engine is yours?

Sounds like a 1.8T to me!
