Shopping for new compact car

I have a 2002 Jetta TDI that I'm in the process of putting a bigger turbo (GTB2260VK), injectors and a tune on. Stock I get 44mpg in town and on the highway and have some power but nothing too impressive. After the $1500 I'm putting into it I will have 200hp and 350lb-ft and either maintain my 44mpg or improve it. Upgrading these engines makes them get better economy most of the time. Even just a simple $300 tune with everything else stock will give you 30hp and 3-4mpg increase in mileage. You should get a golf if you want hatchback and put some nice suspension on it. I actually lifted mine 1.5inch with Moog VR6 springs and Koni struts and it handles way better and is a great substitute for my Subaru Outback that I gave to my sister. These cars are incredibly easy/cheap to modify and get such amazing gas mileage. There are quite a few people who get over 50mpg. Good luck!
