I got 33.7MPG combined couple days ago! This engine is amazing combo of performance and efficiency. I will admit tho, it is hard to not get on it when you drive this car.

@darXirc Must. Resist. Temptation ... D'oh! =)

When you drove on the highway, what speed did you drive in order to get 36.1 mpg?

[mpgomatic]

@timcp1 Our full reviews provide detail on the highway testing conditions. We test with cruise control on and off. Cruise target speed is 68 MPH. Cruise off target speed is 60-72 MPH.

when you achieved the 29 mpg combined rating, did you drive carefully using a light foot? or did occasionally abuse it?

[mpgomatic]

@mrhappyguy072 I wouldn't say ABUSE, but yeah, we got on it from time to time. :) Our fuel efficient driving techniques do not = blue-haired granny driving.

@mrhappyguy072 well it is a 4 cylinder anyway

@nparadisecity According to the website "premium fuel preferred for maximum performance".

@PantstofryPWNZ @hondacivivsi09 Well I don't know what was wrong with the one you drove, but I just drove a 2011 4 days ago... the clutch was fantastic.

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@hondacivicsi09 Funny, just about every reviewer would like to disagree with you. I guess that's what happens when you drive a Honda for too long...

[hondacivicsi09]

vw is full of reliability issues i test drove the 2011 the clutch is horrible

[nparadisecity]
