The economy is going to depend on your average journey distance. I sometimes get a work Pool car and the Toyota Auris or Prius Hybrids will struggle to achieve over 60 mpg on a long journey, but in town the mpg creeps up. It's the opposite with my GTD. Try as hard as I could the other week, I couldn't top 62.1 mpg in the Auris, but managed 63.3 mpg in my GTD.
Problem with the Auris I had the other week is the battery is pathetic. I managed about a mile on EV alone before it went from mostly charged to hardly charged, and the engine kicked in.
As a fairly sedentary driver I can't wait for the GTE to come out...I've already spoken to my local VW Dealership to register my interest. Never bought a brand new car before...the GTE will probably be the first. I'm thinking Night Blue Metallic will look good, with the blue grill stripe and blue brake calipers.
