Fuel economy is an oxymoron when towing, unless you're using a full-size pickup/ute with a diesel.
Want more capacity? Get something else that has a diesel.
It seems the manufacturers have said that if you want style or storage, you need a V8. That's the American mentality talking. If only you guys have seen what I've fit in the trunk of my sedan.
A Focus wagon with either engine and either transmission should have PLENTY of space for a family with 2-3 young kids. Ditto for a family with 2 older kids.
I've hauled my grandparents back and forth from Toronto several times in the sedan. Plus luggage and my 10" sub/amp combo. Never an issue. They were completely comfortable all the way up / down. Remember, I'm 6'3" and drive with the seat back all the way.
They're both 5'8" - 5'10".
