Great on gas. Fun to drive

It has comfortable seats. These cars can be purchased for very little money making them a great value. Good gas mileage. Good in the snow.

Most efficient car ive owned

Great gas milage. Sadly it being so small i barely fit the car seats and it being the only certified vehicle i qualified for. Not fond of the seat style as bucket seats are a little uncomfortable and a bit lower to the ground then id like it to be.

Great car for the $$

A little small on the inside but other than that it has exceeded my expectations. Excellent gas mileage.

A great car for MPG.

This car was a pleasure to drive. Response was quick and I always felt comfortable on all road surfaces. The MPG on trip was usually over 40 MPG. Easy to park and had what might be called curb presence, looked nice. Never in six years had a bit of mechanical problem. A reliable car.

Great Commuter Car

Bought my 2012 Fiesta SE to replace an aging Subaru Forester, and I have no regrets. The Fiesta is a peppy, fun car to drive (I have the manual transmission, can't speak for the automatic) and the gas mileage is incredible. It's a great little commuter car that gets me from point A to point B with no issues so far. The only drawback I've found is the rear seating leg room- there isn't much! There isn't any behind the driver's seat, I'm 5'9" with long legs so the driver's seat is pushed almost all the way back. Not a big deal for me as I only carry up to one adult passenger at a time, but it's something to consider if you have multiple passengers!

Fiesta so far very satisfied

I have not had it long but so far very impressed, not much performance, but for tjis type of car thats expected, still very well designed. Cant really speak to reliability as I have not had it long.
