2004 Volkswagen Jetta Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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
2003	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.8L V6 6-speed manual FWD	My mileage during the winter was not too good. My daily commute is short, so the car barely gets to full operating temperature. My Civic Si did considerably better around town. see full Volkswagen Jetta review
