Dont Buy!
I currently own a 2013 fiesta and it’s a big headache! The mechanic shop with be your new friend. It’s always problems, my radio doesn’t even work anymore for some odd reason. The size is perfect for me but for others it’s pretty small. A Ford fiesta is not reliable!! Don’t buy unless you want to take trips to the mechanic ALL the time !! Plus it’s always a recall on something

Cheap and reliable
I've known the 2013 Ford Fiesta SE for the last 10 years, got it new back in 2013, it's at 168,300+ miles at the moment. Not fancy by any means, but the seating isn't bad if you're under 6 feet tall, for example I'm 5'5" and I have decent leg room and headroom, no one else but the driver gets an armrest, for entertainment it has Bluetooth and the speakers are nice, it gets the job done of going from A to B safely without costing an arm and a leg. Small eco cars of course may not favor well in accidents but that's countered by the cheap value, which is great for safe drivers who may not have deep pockets. 35MPG with 12 gallon tank gets you roughly 400 miles full at the 15K price range these days while being fairly reliable, can't really be beat. Only thing I've had to do is change out an electrical board piece, the caliper belt, brakes, battery and the tires, but that's just what it takes to keep a vehicle going long term. One thing I have noticed though is that the transmission has a tough time changing gears when you're at a stop and trying to accelerate out of the first gear, but after that it's smooth sailing. It's been doing that no worse or better for at least a year now, just a quirk at this point. Don't wanna waste any big money on a big part like that if it only happens in low speed conditions where it's safe to be quirky.

2013 Ford fiesta with Manual Transmission
My 2013 fiesta is about to turn 198,000 miles with nothing but routine maintenance over the years. I bought this car new and treat it nice. I always get over 44 mpg's on the hwy @ 75mph with the AC on. If I could buy another new one, I would in a heartbeat.

2013 automatic Ford fiesta front wheel drive
I’ve had my 2013 automatic ford fiesta for about 2 months now, 80k miles. It’s my everyday work car and I mean I put this thing to its max limits😅. I love it! I just need a new O2 sensor but even with that going out I still get almost 30 miles to the gallon, runs even further on premium. Today I was driving over the mountain I live on and I had snapped the serpentine belt without even realizing, there was no noise nothing, just the battery light and over heating light turned on, I do wish it would maybe ding with smt so important like that haha but still I drove 20 miles and made it to work. Once I parked I popped my hood open and somehow nothing was even damaged!. This little car has tested every limit you could think of, I realized a little late there were bubbles in my tires and luckily had them replaced, the shop said that if my car wasn’t as light as it was and if it wasn’t a front wheel I would have for sure had a blow out. I appreciate my car and genuinely think it has kept me beyond safe in so many ways. Also I LOVE THE INSIDE! I do wish there was more space in the back seats though for sure, but it’s awesome how you can change the interior trim light color🤗

Easy Fix for Shifting Problems
I’ve had this car for two months. At first it was sometimes difficult to shift into 1st gear or reverse, without having it clonk out on me or grind, but when I got the oil changed they discovered a transmission leak. The passenger side output shaft seal needed to be replaced. Once this was done and the transmission fluid was replaced, the Fiesta was shifting like new. It only cost about $500 but I like my car so much better now!

Just hit 180k miles
It's a 5 speed manual bare bones car (roll up windows, etc.) but it's been remarkably reliable to date. Other than regular maintenance such as oil changes, occasional alignments and tune ups I have not needed to invest in anything else for this car. It still has the original clutch at just over 180k miles. It continues to get good gas mileage.

Most reliable car I’ve owned
This car met all of our needs. Worked out great for my college age son. We shared the car. A full tank of gas lasted long. The manual was a lot of fun .
