Yes but the new focus isn't a bad *** power house of a car with a rich heritage of kicking ***!

But it can play your music for you if your too lazy to push a button or two!

That's why I drive a Mustang, but I did buy my daughter a Focus.

The difference isn't significant enough to make a decision. I get about 25-27 mpg most freeway part city driving. Many GTs get the same. BUT, if you're a lead foot, then the gas mileage may be noticeable.

Remember what they say about Mustangs....

They pass everything except the pump!

Never heard of that one. But there are many cars and trucks that get worse fuel economy. I figure 25-27 mpg is great for a *** kicker. If it is indeed true, it is only because we are limited to a 16 gallon fuel tank.
