I'm hearing that they aren't that bad & sometimes better than the 2ltr engines. My current 1.8T gives mid thirties but it manual. Lovely drive & nice car. Wish I could post a photo but the forum is so old fashioned in layout!

As I've only a 2.5 I can't tell you the difference but I was told that the 2.0 was weaker and less powerful given the weight of the car and charge. Less power but the mpg likely very close to mine, nearly same engine but restricted.
