My wife has a Cruze Eco in the manual transmission and it won't get close to 42 mpg on the Hwy. She and I both really like cars features and comfort but I'm very disappointed in th gas mileage. We have made several Hwy trips and it average between 30 and 32 mpg Hwy. Thats terrible as far as I'm concerned. The Saturn we traded in was a 2000 model with over 200,000 miles and it was still getting 36 mpg Hwy miles. She has 15,000 on the Cruze so I feel like that is enough to make a fair assessment. How many miles do you have on the Jetta TDI and what kind of mpg you getting? We actually drove one and considered buying one before we bought the Cruze. The Cruze had a few more bells and whistles so we bought it. I have been wondering if we made a mistake. For the record, I would not buy another Cruze due to the poor MPG.
