I am thinking of getting rid of my G...
drove it 9 years, 153k miles...
I am not married like you but I want a comfortable 4 door now...

but at the same time, I don't think I can do it since I'm so attached to it...

i traded my g for a 640 hp supercharged c6 and i can get 27 mpg on the highway with a 6 speed... around 13 in the city though (big cam)...

On the other hand, it could be lead foot as well. I average 22 mpg overall every tank.
Did the tire pressure, air filter and oil change already. Next thing I'm trying is spark plug. 16-18 is like 90% street driving shifting at 3k on the dot or even earlier. I don't drive it like it's built for unfortunately.. got a slipping clutch I'm about to replace..

G sedan? That's an alternative.. unless you don't like the looks of it too much.

^ If you think you won't like the look of a sedan too much, you should check out CandlestickPark's sedan. Sickest one I've ever seen. There's some serious potential for a sedan.

As much as I miss aspects of the G, I haven't missed a beat with the GLI. The GLI isn't much slower than the G, if any slower from what I can tell. The ride is super smooth, and the premium Fender system is top notch. Oh and 30+ mpg helps
