Re: New GTI

Went from Norwich to Liverpool,about a 500 mile round trip the other week.Averaged 45 mpg,mixture of 65 and 70 mph.Pretty pleased with that.Getting 36 mpg on my 10 mile commute to work,pleased overall.

Re: New GTI

My Polo is 1300 miles in,loving the whole driving experience.Overall very impressed with the car.Long term mpg is nearly 37mpg,no really long runs in it yet,hopefully should improve a little.Like many others have got the squeaky brakes.

Re: New GTI

No exhaust pops from mine as far as I can tell! Still enjoying the car. I average around 40 mpg and touch wood no troubles so far (now at 2000 miles). The engine is so flexible and I can drop down to 4th and get away briskly when it would have been 3rd or 2nd in other cars. I had some brake squeaks...
