      They are cool cars, but I'm not sure it meets all your criteria for family hauling. Maybe the Cooper Clubman would though, and be just about as fun to drive.

      The cost difference between Regular and Premium is negligible IMO. I guess it's human nature to be cheap on the shit that doesn't matter, while being nonchalant about major expenses. For example, my dad will drive his '64 Cadillac across town to save 3ยข per gallon, lol.

      Also, used car prices are really high right now. I would at least consider purchasing new since you can get excellent rebates/incentives and better financing for a car that's worth more. Skip will make you a badass deal on a new GT.
      When the government pays, the government controls.

        If you want a hot hatch go with the gti and an APR chip... You can get 4 doors if you want, the back seat can actually fit adults unlike the focus, and it looks better than the ms3 with a much nicer interior quality. I would get 33-34 out of it on the highway even with the tune...

                              Apparently I didn't buy the same mustang you did... There is maybe 3" between the rear seat and the dirver's seat. I would guess you would be seeing plenty of tail lights as you are doing 55 on the freeway to get that MPG.

                                Hmmm, my son is 5'9 and fits in the back seat no problem. You just have to adjust the seat some, can't be pimped out to the very end of the seat track, playa.
                                And I achieved this MPG on two seperate trips to S.A with the A/C on and an average of 70 mph, only a K&N filter on my 2012 5.0 GT A6. I never went WOT and there were some slow downs to 50-60 and some 70-80 mph, I did the calculations when I got back to Allen from north S.A (Hollywood). I had a little over a 1/4 tank left after filling up in S.A.
