Is there some problem with 67.3 mpg?

I'm not aware of ANY car in the U.S. market that comes close to that mileage.

Don't make me come over there Tony

70-80 city doesn't count, you could ride a rechargeable skateboard to work too but try driving it cross country.

A fully functional roadworthy 67 mpg Fiesta would be a great little car.

Edit- I just checked and they showed the Insight at an EPA rated 70 mpg freeway and 60 mpg city but in a two year test it averaged an actual 48 mpg average.

i'm talking the manual, not the auto

60-70 is still a big jump from an actual tested 48 mpg, don't forget the 60-70 was rated under the old EPA rating system which was obviously less than accurate.

I love to see Ford use some small turbo diesels like VW does. My dad has a Jetta tdi, and he averages 45 mpg, I'd want a focus or fiesta turbo diesel. Can you say, TORQUE!

I wanna import one.

I'd just like to see a small car made by ford in a 4cyl that actually has torque to begin with!!!!

BUT, i'm still right, it did at some point. i bet you could get them up to that or higher... so i'm double right...?

Drive an ST 2.3, they have good torque.

Also the european Focus TDCI was good, look up Moula on the Jet and check out his diesel.

Shoot, the SPI knocking could get 67.4 mpg...

f that lil pile!!!! its to small and ford of north america will just find a way to cheapen in a few years just like the foci. in 99 the focus was full fat, then oh whered the under hood mat go? whered the side trim go? oh whered the solid feel go? trust me this lil ford is better off in europe. im bitter, yeah they are giving europe and north america the same focus now, but its not the current focus and its not the last gen focus, so how do they think there gonna make it up to us? do we get an rs?....never, our last real good focus was a rebadged st with a cossie engine. i got a chance to drive a s40 t5 awd with some mods done to it and im pissed!!!! that volvo 5 cyl is the sex. but oh well im just gonna get a new hyundia.
