Go drive it, Metro! The 1.0L Fiesta is a hoot. Capable of remarkable MPGs if you can stay out of the boost. It's not insanely fun like the ST (most fun you can have for $21K), but it delivers a nice combo of responsiveness and efficiency. The back seat is tight, no doubt about that, but the current car seems like it might be a tiny bit better than the early models.

Here's a clip I shot with it last summer:
