Jetta TDI's get ridiculous mpg, and can get even better with a chip (and you'll add noticeable horsepower, too).

The only thing I would've said that hasn't been mentioned is an E36 3 series.

I wouldn't recommend a VW.

Integra, until it's stolen. Then probably a Celica.

It actually gets crap gas mileage. I never recorded anything higher than 21MPG during my entire ownership. I wouldn't even call it a Luxury car, it's just a nicer Toyota.

Compared to newer Toyotas, the IS300 is horrible.
