The whole idea was to stretch it as far as possible. Point is, is that it's still a remarkable feat and shows what's possible. |

Ford is actually doing pretty good nowadays. I like how they didn't take the government loan. When the fiesta comes out, they'll have a complete lineup. Though I'm still sticking with my Yaris, as there is no other non-hybrid out there that has the space and mpg.

I'll be the first to admit that Ford's track record stinks. I myself have been the owner of a taurus, and let's just say that the only thing less reliable than a taurus's transmission is Obama's stimulus package. Anyway, recently though, they've uped the ante, like Hyunduai has done with thier recent models.
Well, if things keep up, maybe we'll get more fuel efficient yaris's down the road from toyota. |

Real world numbers or not, I like a car that can reward you for driving smart.
Think about it, the Yaris is supposed to be 29/36 right? I remember being told that the car adjusts itself to the driver, so I could see 31/38. Little did I know that those were not real world numbers either as I'm now averaging 43mpg a freaking tank with 30/70 city/highway driving and it ain't even broken in yet! With the Festiva and the Fusion, Ford is really starting to head in the right direction and they really should be commended for it. I really do like the styling on both of them as well. |
