2003 Volkswagen Jetta Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2004	4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	It could be better-I average 27-28 MPG in mixed city/highway driving. see full Volkswagen Jetta review
2004	4dr Wagon turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Even when driving extremely conservatively, I have never been able to get much more than 30 mpg highway on this car, which seems low for a car of this size and power. A taller overdrive might help in this regard. see full Volkswagen Jetta review
