As far as everything I've read, the NEW ones (redesigned) are getting right around 42 mpg. Keep in mind this is a fairly decent sized car! Definitely bigger than the prius..
I have a friend in FL with one, and he's a car guy/mechanical engineer(so I don't doubt his word or intelligence). He's told me that he's getting close to 60mpg with his. He's really happy too because he's got a 120 mile roundtrip highway commute to work. Hard to belive I know, but very impressive.
I don't if it's worth it or not though, in case it breaks down. Have you ever read a VW wiring diagram? I don't think they translate from German

My best friend worked at a shop that wouldn't even work on the VW diesels. I guess they are a real pain..
I hear ya, and I actually have a 120 mile daily commute as well. I currently drive a 2002 Sable that averages 27 MPG, but that still adds up fast at 120 miles a day. I ride the bike as much as possible, but have been eying the new Jetta.
When was the redesign that is getting the high mileage, was it 2010?

They do not have a rear seat, probably would not work well for him and the children.
In my area (north GA) it is about 35 cents per gallon more. But, if you are nearly doubling your mileage, then I think that would be better. I have not done the math, so no quotes on that
My good friend is a volkswagen technician.

I sold my 1992 honda civic with 305000 miles to a buddy of mine for 700.00 bucks. He drives it everywhere 5-speed that gets around 40-42 mpg. I bought a 2002 honda accord se it doesnt get as good of mileage but it has a 2.3 4 cyl.

VW make great cars...except for the POS DSG transmission that they use. My wife's brand new Polo needed a new transmission with only 600km on the clock! VW were good, though. - They actually gave us another new car, rather than merely replace the transmission.
