2012 Ford Fiesta consumer reviews

I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta S with a manual transmission.I bought it with 120,000 miles and took a gamble.At first it had a issue with it revving by itself but then I cleaned the whole throttle body clean up the mass air flow sensor and haven't had a issue since .It now has 245000 miles and still my daily driver. It's interior is cheap but as long as you take care of it I think it's great for something for a to b traveling I take it everywhere across states and change oil and filters regularly along with other mechanical parts (all normal wear and tear)love this car

Bought in 2013 so it 2as a year old with 30k miles, and transm8ssion failed and there was a recall for that, door locks failed while traveling with 2 seniors in the back seats, recall for that and now in 2024 need to buy another car at 87,000 miles because the air bag light came on and the passenger air bag sensor needs replacing, which just happens to be in the seat itself, Ford no longer makes the part, and the estimate to repair is $900.00 and $2,000 from 2 repair shops because the whole seat needs to be replaced. I also read some models had air bags recalls, but they claim mine was not part of the recall. And although they did the transmission recall work, the car was still always feeling like it would stall. Done with Ford.

I really enjoy driving this car. It has great handling fuel economy reliability and style. Handles great in all weather conditions including ice, snow and rain. I have the five speed manual and if you can handle a manual transmission the car can be launched quite briskly. Reminds me of some seventies sports cars I've owned. If you get the xx model it's turbocharged and is a mini rocket sled. An aftermarket turbo is available for a reasonable price.

A reliable car if you live in the city. It's a good way to save on gas and it is pretty fast, should have been on Fast and Furious.

Bought this car in a hurry to replace a Focus I had put 211,000 miles on. Actually the Focus was still running fine, but I had only one car at the time and needed complete reliability to get to work. The Fiesta delivered that in spades. Not the most comfortable, actually not comfortable at all. The seats are terrible, but it IS very quiet. Quieter than my Infiniti actually and the HVAC is very good. Cold or warm air in buckets when you need them. It's not fast and doesn't handle terribly well, but it does run every day and my maintenance costs over the past 100 thousand plus miles have been mainly for oil and tires. Manual transmission is bullet proof. For a good daily commuter, I highly recommend this car.

Drives like new! 5 speed, amazing on gas. Drives smooth and clean, couldnt ask for a better car for a more affordable price. Abundantly satisfied!

Overall the car is okay. Nothing special to write about. Everything on the car seems to be working properly. However, the buying experience was less than okay.

I’ve had this vehicle for two years now and it has been the most reliable vehicle I’ve owned. I’ve had some transmission issues but that easily fixed under fords extended warranty at the dealership. Other than that, it’s great on gas and comfortable to fit in. The back is pretty small though.

Totally happy w this car.it is good on gas comfortable for a large or tall person. Totally dependable. Stylish and easy to maintain. This car has never been in a repair shop.

There is always something wrong. Weird things I’ve never seen happened to a car. The passenger back foot is about to break the RADIO doesn’t work! That’s sad! And going to the Dealer? Forget about it! After you buy the car they don’t want to see you anymore!
