It isn't for what it is though Tom, 30 mpg average in a powerful, turbocharged petrol is pretty good. Plus, a Golf TDI in the same condition as my Octavia would have been about £1000-£1500 more, and that buys a lot of petrol
You can get 45 mpg on a run and 25-30 mpg in town from these even with a re-map to 220 bhp, compare that to a mk1 Impreza WRX with about the same power and it won't look thirsty then, my mate gets 28 mpg ON A RUN :o
