In 1985 I bought a new Jetta. It was plenty roomy for our family of four and fun to drive. The back seat had more leg room than my brother's Lexus 400 (though not the width). It weighed around 2,000 lbs and had 85 horsepower. I ran across a log of gas mileage for the car recently. I averaged 34 mpg in an most urban/highway mix--and that's with a pretty aggressive driving style. The problem with most modern cars is simple physics--a 3500 lb, 250 horsepower car can only get so much in terms of gas mileage.
