I love my car so much!

It's performance is great. During winter conditions in Calgary alberta I haven't been stuck once! Only inconvenience is that the back seats don't sit flat when you push them down.

This SES Fiesta is loaded.

This car looks and drives amazing. The outside is sporty and the gas mileage is excellent. The listings said MPG was 32/37, but I got 40 on my drive from Fort Worth to my home in Louisiana. The controls and features inside are a bit overwhelming until you figure things out, but the sound system makes up for it. My daughter nicknamed it the "ZoomBox". I know it sounds petty, but the lack of cupholders is a problem at times. The back seat legroom is limited but from the driver's seat it is one of the more comfortable cars I have owned.

Best in Class!

The quality of this car surpasses all others in its class. 48500 miles and still just tight and rattle free as when new. Interior still looks like new...same with the body. 7 years old and not even a hint of corrosion. Very good handling and great gas mileage...over 30 MPG overall. Easily maneuvers in city or highway. Great value !

Simple but great car

This is an amazing car. Even being 1.6, it drives well on road or in the city. It's economic and does not give me any problems at all. Recommended!!

One of my favorite cars I?ve owned

Owned this for a year and half and it has been my favorite car I?ve owned. I bought the SES model and was very well equipped. Heated seats, sync, sunroof, heated side mirrors, were some the best features. The sync system is the best voice activated systems. It always understood me, the commands were easy to remember, and it felt very natural to use. I highly recommend you stick to buying the manual transmission models. The 6 speed poweshift automatic transmission was complete garbage. There is a class action lawsuit agints Ford regarding the automatic transmission. However, the manual was pure joy, smooth and quick shifts and very light clutch made this car super fun to drive.

Great bang for your buck

The car is great on gas, reliable. Good car for road trips if it is only two people. If you are tall and is sitting in the back of the car you will experience issues with head hight and leg room. Plenty of leg room upfront. This car is not a racecar at any means but it gets up and goes(my car is manual.) Never had an issue with a snow on the ground as long as you're not trying to plow the snow with it. Overall a good starter car or gas saver.

Love it

Bought new because it had the largest door opening of the cars we looked at. Took to fla on vacation, because mileage saved enough on gas to pay for motels instead of taking ourGMC camper van. Good ride and handling! Handles like a race car! Only down side is the shifting acceleration problem. I found the cure and fixed myself. No it is as good a car as I have ever iwned and I have owned aver 124 vehicles in my life time.

Most gas savvy vehicle that I have owned.

The one thing about this car is that the gas mileage is awesome. I mean I can get anywhere from 350 to just over 400 miles on a full tank of gas. The downside is it does have it spit sputter occassionally because of transmission issues on the 2011 Ford fuesta model. This is a small car so it's not to family friendly.

Great first car for our teenage son

Love the way that it just looks like a really cute car! Console is very appealing, love the Bluetooth and heated seats. One of the only setbacks is the back seat is squished when the front seats are back. Perfect first used car for our teenage son!
