"26/32-mpg fuel economy"

That's not good milage!

My wife's Lexus gets that and it's at least 1/2 of what I consider a car, the Focus is a Tonka Toy.

Geez... something this small should get at least 50 mpg on the highway!

Your wife's Lexus sells for five times what the Focus does.

You are correct that 26/32-mpg is not that great. I have an Altima with a 250-hp V6 engine that gets about that and that's even with all the heated seats and other electronic doodads that come with it. If I'm going to drive a subcompact as ugly at the Focus, it better at least give me 40 miles a gallon on the highway and 30+ in the city.
