That pretends to be a sports car and still hits the high 30s.
Im just not impressed I cant understand why MPG has gon DEVO with all the fancy new stuff we have now availible.

While its true that your geo metro can get better mpg, There are some things to consider with the fiesta
Increased safety - 7 standard airbags
Increased comfort ( subjective )
Increased amenities - may or may not be important
Improved hp and torque 123 hp 125 tq up to 148 tq
Is it
worth it? It was to me so I bought one and am happy with it thus far.
I think that if you stripped away the added safety and comfort features i.e. weight. You would end up with something that really could compete mpg-wise with a metro.
In the end its personal preference, and the n/a 1.6L can probably reach or beat the 1.0L T in terms of mpg.
