I just can't seem to find the right one!!

Budget: £24k
Mileage: Under 25k
Mpg: 40+
5 Door
Decent leg room in back
0-60- Under 7.5s
Ideally hatchback but will consider saloon

I do like the new focus st 2.3 but put off by the ecoboost issues (I know it's more on the 1litres)

Important factors:

1- Reliability
2- Speed
3- MPG
4- Looks
5- maintenance costs

Welcome any suggestions!

I brought a 1.0 focus , after having issues with previous one I added 24 months warranty onto the original 12 months for peace of mind , was £400 for the extra 24 months , cars been in for a few things , , complete interior strip down to reseal all the seams due to water leaks , new oxygen sensors & has cost nothing
2.3 st would be newish so would have warranty I’d of thought , & then just add a couple of years for peace of mind .
My warranty is through a Nissan dealer , thought £400 for extra 24 months was reasonable

Decent rear legroom is subjective as I find most hatchbacks cramped in the rear.
