Should my friend get the 2017 Type R or the 2015 200 S?

He wants a fast, reliable car. He had a Ford, and Chevy and he had horrible experience with them.

He likes both cars since they have 300 Horse power.

But which of the 2 is more fuel efficient?

EPA ratings are available on both. While not really accurate, they give you a guide which one is more accurate.

If he's going to drive it aggressively, expect significantly lower fuel mileage.

Your friend seems to be in a bit of a quagmire, meaning he's stuck on stupid. If you want a performance car, you research the car. All performance statistics for both are easily found on the internet, this includes the EPA estimated mileage.

Smart people don't buy a performance car and worry about the mileage it gets.

He should get insurance quotes first. That's likely going to be a deal breaker when he finds how much it is.
