I'd rather drive an Abarth or Mini S around than the Focus ST from a driving fun perspective, but I also recognize that I have greater capability with the Focus in terms of people and stuff hauling. It's also got that power edge which is important to a lot of people. I know if I didn't have a power car I'd not want to be stuck with only a Abarth or Mini. And the woman averages 26-27 mpg in her ST with a heavy right foot with a mostly city mix. That's not that bad. If you work hard you can get it to low 20s, but you've got to drive like a maniac to do that.
