Thinking of getting a new car. I want something used with 50+ MPG capability. I’ve looked into 2003 Golfs quite a bit and while I’m not fully into their looks I do like their MPG numbers quite a bit. I’ve heard owners estimate everywhere from 40-70 MPG. I’d like to know what any of you guys are getting or have gotten on average, and during the winter.

How’s the maintenance? I’ve heard these are expensive to maintain. I daily my civic and while it doesn’t get the MPG I want, it’s definitely going to keep on kicking forever. I’d not want a car that needs to be babied.
