I would seriously look at an Elantra, it gets 40mpg has a great warranty, great reliability on previous models, and has 3 cuft more trunk capacity and 4 cuft more interior volume, the focus is a small car. I was really bummed at how small the hatchback was, particularly the rear cargo area under the shelf, I don't think it would hold more than 2 large suitcases. They list the capacity as 23 cuft, but that is filling the whole back with potatoes to where you can't see out, dangerous on many levels. Both cars are aerodynamically sick. (as in good) The Ford will run circles around the Hyundai and is probably a bit better built, but is also $3,000-$6,000 more cash. My 2¢.
