I love my Fiesta 1.0 turbo so much, we bought a 2nd one 6-months later! It tows well, and also tows trailers well. 2,000 pounds over steeps cascade and rocky passes is really no problem at all, and doesn't even require downshifting until grades exceed 4%.
PS - my one major complaint about the Fiesta is the lack of fold-flat rear seats the the Focus has. It fits MTBs just fine inside with only the front wheels off, but road bikes won't fit inside without pulling both wheels or laying down flat (which eats up way more space). I have a roof rack and hitch rack, but neither can be as secure as locking them up inside. A few good MTBs easily cost more than the car!
