You know how I feel about the Astra. The other would be the Pontiac Vibe which is new for this year.
Focus is a coupe or sedan only, make sure you have the space to put stuff in it. IMO, you are looking for a hatchback type vehicle giving you the functionality of a suv without the size.
Mazda 3 5dr is another idea, the 2.0 gets pretty decent gas milage.
