    Good luck getting upwards of 30mpg out a 2.0T.

    The TT, Scirroco, and Golf will not do 30mpg if you enjoy driving.

    My 3.0 V6 Quattro Petrol Audi A4 Avant is currently doing 32mpg on the work run. Mix between motorway driving, and stuck in traffic. Cracking big engine, 220bhp. Big heavy car, but it still shifts a little bit

    Is it not a struggle getting 30mpg out of JCW 'S' as well

    Accorduing to VW the Scirocco gets.............

    Urban - 26.6mpg
    Extra urban - 47.9mpg
    Combined - 37.2mpg

    and according to Audi the 2.0l TT gets.........

    Urban - 26.4mpg
    Extra urban - 47.1mpg
    Combined - 36.7mpg

    Not much in it between these two......!

    i would say the 3 or 5 series bmw diesel sports, the engines are immense and very quiet for diesels and the fuel consumption is very good too imo

    I think the new R56 Mini engines have better fuel consumption than the R53s.

    I struggle to get 35mpg urban on my R56 Cooper.

    BMW 3 Series is the beast to go for. Great looks and performance.
