Car with many problems

After we got the car we have been numerous times back to the dealership to fix problems. The car has very low A/C and numerous recalls.

Great handling

This is the first small car I have ever owned, it is a ton of fun to drive and has great fuel economy, the 1.6 L engine has great acceleration when called on. The back seats are good for small children but a little cramped for adults. Overall I'm am very pleased with this vehicle.

What a Lemon!!!!

Major Powertrain issues, car left me stranded multiple times. It took Ford 3 attempts to fix the powershift transmission that is supposedly smooth and reliable. The cap less fuel system would explode gasoline all over the car as well and took a Ford dealership about 5 days to fix. I wouldn?t recommend this car unless you enjoy having migraines. Also avoid the Focus because it shares the same unreliable transmission. Pile of JUNK!!!

Unreliable

This car has just over 100,000 miles and I have already had electrical and mechanical issues with it. The door handle just came over last year. I have had the typical ford issues with the transmission pretty much since I got it and all their attempts to fix it were temporary bandaids to the issue.

I just love my Candy Red Fiesta!

It?s amazing what I can fit into my car! It holds much more than I ever thought it would. And the hatchback feature makes it more versatile. It?s an easy car to park and maneuvers very efficiently on the road. Cannot forget to mention how much I love the sunroof.

Horrible transmission issues!

The fiesta was great for fuel economy but the transmission problems made it an absolute nightmare to own. Subject to random failure and visits to the dealer.
