YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5

2008 2dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed automated manual AWD		 18 city 23 highway is nothing to brag about considering it only has 250hp w/ 6 gears. It has drastically improved since covering 2k miles; last tank was well over 25mpg in mixed driving. Weight of AWD, stong winds, and stop/go kill the mileage. see full Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI review

6-speed automated manual FWD		 The economy is OK for a sporty car, but it requires premium fuel for best performance. A sacrifice I am willlng to live with. see full Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI review
