One consideration should be PARTS cost. Have a look at what a wiper arm, an alternator and a starter cost for each car. It's because of that simple comparison that I will never again buy a foreign nameplate.

It's hard for me to think of the FiST as a lightweight. It weighs MORE than the FOCUS that it replaces, even though the Focus is a bigger car. It's also about twice the weight of the Sprite that I keep, which is 1450 lbs wet. My sons Honda CRX-H clocks in at about 1800 lbs, a full 1/2 ton less than the FiST, and about the same size, and while not nearly the same performance, it gets over 45 mpg on the freeway.
