It's well known now that opting for a compact car doesn't mean your sacrificing performance. But the question is, how much economy do you need? While most cars in its class offer gas mileage ratings in the mid-to-upper 30s, the 2016 Ford Focus SE easily breaches 40. How, you ask?

The magical mill underhood is none other than the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. Originally offered on the Fiesta, Ford now offers this mill in its fun-to-drive and zippy compact car offering. The best part is that it offers a manual transmission with 42 mpg highway, and an automatic with 40 mpg highway. As for power, drivers will be pleased by the 123 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque.
