The tech, for its class, definitely deserves some high marks. It is well equipped for the price, but really was hoping to see the Duratec released at the same time. My only complaint is the leg room for the rear passengers; 3 people at 5ft 8in will be a tight fit. On a plus side, visibility is good all around (despite my height at 6ft flat) and the steering was good (not really able to test due to parking lot speeds).

In my opinion it's a definite winner versus its rivals (Civic, Elantra, etc.) in terms of looks, dynamics and technology. But in size, it kinda falls short...
Perhaps you mean Duratorq? This does come with the Duratec already. Sadly, the diesels will never come, Ford themselves said so.

Regarding space, it really is cramped compared to spacious compacts like the Elantra (largest in class from my experience), Civic, or Lancer EX. Slightly more roomy than an Altis though, and noticeably more spacious than its Mazda 3 cousin.
