Love my car!

Fun, zippy car that can meet all your needs and save on gas while looking very stylish. I like how the seats fold down so I can transport my dogs well

Great gas mileage! Great starter car!

This is a great starter vehicle. I would highly recommend this to a parent that is searching for a vehicle to purchase for their child that just got their license. It is definitely a compact car, so if you are overly tall or need a lot of space, this isn't the vehicle for you. However, this vehicle has great gas mileage and is perfect for driving through the city. It has the perfect amount of space for everything I need, and I can also pack a few suitcases and store them in the trunk if needed with plenty of extra space. I am not going to sugar coat this vehicle. It is a small, standard car with not a lot of amenities, but it does the job & gets me from Point A to Point B. I have a job in sales and do a lot of driving, and this car is absolutely perfect! I would definitely TEST DRIVE before purchasing! Make sure you are comfortable!

A very bad car.ford knows this car is a joke

Its a waste of money. Never buy a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The doors flew open and wouldn't shut my grand daughter almost flew out of the car. She could have been killed. The two clutch system had to be replaced twice. The transmission had to be replaced.These fixes on my car were all under 19,000 miles on my brand new 2013 Ford Fiesta ! I called Ford Corporate they will not replace this poorly made LEMON of a vehicle....POOR customer service. I am an elderly women on a fixed income.... Ford ripped me off they are thieves !!! They don't resolve the issues I don't want this piece of junk ...Don't ever buy any Ford you will not be happy!!! Mad grandma

Love the Mileage

Had to buy a vehicle with excellent gas mileage as I put 100 miles a day with my daily commute. This car delivers great mileage, is comfortable to drive and I have no issues. Very happy with my Fiesta ?

Just okay . . . would not purchase again

Pros: Interior and exterior styling, good amount of trunk space, no blind spots. I like this care because it is compact which is important to me in the city and I can handle it easily as there are no blind spots. I haven't had any major issues with this car. Cons : This car has a "powershift" dual clutch automatic transmission, which makes it more fuel efficient HOWEVER it causes it to lurch instead of a smooth acceleration, which is very annoying for city driving. I also would not recommend for tall people! Conclusion: Overall, the car is fine. Would I choose to buy it again? no

Bad car!!!

At 90,000 miles, I had to replace the serpentine belt, (which is a stretch to fit belt, so you have to have a special tool... expensive! ) transylvania makes noise, engine light pops up at least 3 to 6 times a day and when it does, it doesn't want to accelerate... becoming very unreliable and when I take it to have diagnostics done, it comes up normal... I hate this car.

2013 ford fiesta

disappointed, cute car. Had it about 6 mo. It hesitates on take off at hills and while driving along, beginning incline it hesitates, this is getting worse. I need the car, we are old people and need have a reliable car. I am afraid of it.

Economy car

I've driven Mercedes, Lincoln you, audi you name it. This car is definitely interesting. While the seats feel cheap in nature (it is base model) the dash, interface and tach all mirror a futuristic feel that brings a very sporty feel to the driver. The car is light so be mindful on the highway if it's breezy or over speed bumps as the car can get air. The transmission (auto) is very noisy but the technology is a dry clutch sealed system which needs service every 100k or so. The dry clutches for increased fuel economy on the transmission. So while it sounds like it will fall out, it's just loud. This maybe a turn off for many so I can completely see people going for the manual. The fuel economy was out of this world!!!!! All in all for a cheap economy car that's under 15k brand new irs definitely worth looking into.
