Buying a economical car - Fiesta or Rio?

I am looking to buy a small car with good fuel economy. I've narrowed down my choice to the Koa Rio and Ford Fiesta, which would you buy?

FOrd Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboosts are only averaging around 45mpg in Real MPG, while KIA Rio 1.1 CRDIs are averaging 60mpg. However, the Fiesta is more fun to drive.
