SPORTS MODE,

I drive a lot of miles each and every week for work. Most of those miles are highway and I usually stick with ECO mode. By doing so I have an average of about 23.5 - 24.2 MPG!! Awesome! BUT WAIT.....

Nearly every time I am near the need fill up the tank, my lead foot itch creeps out. For those last miles I usually let the lead foot Sports mode take over me and completely blow out my MPG. Now I sit filling her up and averaging around 20-21.....

SPORTS MODE - what I HATE but LOVE about my WK2 :thumbsup:

Beats mine! I'm getting 19 mixed with the v6 in eco full-time, but my 32" tires don't help. :thumbsup:

As for me, I love the radio and uConnect interface when it decides to work. I'm still having an issue with the radio and amp connection, where the radio randomly shuts off and the volume control doesn't work. It's going back to the dealer again, so frustrating on a new car. At least I haven't had any other serious issues (crosses fingers!).

I'd love to be getting those kind of numbers.

I drive to and from work, all city driving 99% of the time (usually always in ECO unless on freeway) and I'm averaging 16-17 mpg. :/

That's me as well. Pretty sure that was the stated mileage so it is what it should be. Or even better. Stated for mixed is 17 and I'm sure I'm way more city than highway. So I can't complain at all.

Better than a Pilot.

The only thing I don't like about mine is the terrible understeer. This is most pronounced when simply turning right or left at an intersection in town. Makes the vehicle feel and handle like a big old boat from the 70's.
