+1 on this. I never did find the City as sporty. It's a boring drive but it's a good utility car (lots of space for a sub-compact, big trunk, fuel efficient). If you want a zippy and fun drive for less than 900k, get the Fiesta Ecoboost. It would surely put a smile on your face when you floor that pedal and the car just scoots off.
