>To me, the last 15 years have been car manufacturers figuring out that with the right kind of engineering, you can get rid of turbo lag I own a Fiesta ST that comes with a 1.6L turbo-charged engine that produces about 200hp/210+ft-lb of torque...on 87 octane. If I drive the speed limit I can get well over 40mpg (~5L/100km). I can't recommend these cars enough (if the small stature suits you). The fit and finish isn't great, but it's a piece of machinery when it comes to performance. http://www.caranddriver.com/ford/fiesta-st http://www.caranddriver.com/ford/fiesta-st
