2014 Ford Fiesta consumer reviews

OK for gas mileage, not comfort. A bumpy ride, and noisy. Built like a go-cart. I would not buy a little car again not even for the gas mileage!!

This car is an absolute blast. The Recaro seats plant the driver in place while the turbo/ handling let the driver tear up the pavement. And all while getting econo- car gas mileage. It has been incredibly reliable, and you don't see many of them on the road. Especially now that it's been discontinued. Big fun in a small package, I highly recommend.

This car had 3 recalls in first 3 years for three different parts. One day it wouldn't go forward or backward (transmission module). It's not that cute that it can be a lawn ornament.

It’s easy to drive, comfortable, sleek but still cute, has a roomy trunk and a great color selection. This is my second one, and they are just getting better. It has bluetooth, wide seats, is small enough to park easily, and has amazing mileage.

This is a fast and fun little car that handles flawlessly. It’s more fun than any other front wheel drive, and more fun than some rear wheel drives! To be clear though, the mighty ST is based on the humble Fiesta, so it’s still a small economy car at heart. If you’re looking for a status symbol, get a BMW instead.

As a retired person, I bought this car, which is a Fiesta ST for the fun and performance. It has numerous upgrades for performance and handling and has had no recalls or given me any problems in 86,500 miles. I drive it like it's supposed to be driven and still get 28 mpg! I bought the car through a COSTCO rep at a dealership and paid under $20,000, a GREAT deal! Probably the last car I will ever buy!

Purchased a Fiesta 4-door sedan in SE Trim as a demo with 4K miles, manual transmission, & full factory warranty at a nice price. Car is *very* quiet and comfortable on the road, especially for front seat occupants, and handles bumps well. Back seat is a bit cramped with limited legroom and "straight up" seating posture, which might not be comfortable on long trips. Standard Engine is economical (34 mpg combined), but has average performance which becomes anemic with four people in car and A/C on. The manual transmission shifts easy with a slightly vague feel, but is reportedly far less troublesome than the automatic transmission. Interior is nicely done and all controls well laid out but mostly uses hard plastics everywhere except for the dashboard, and the thin cloth (not vinyl?!?) bolsters which are glued to the front armrests are soft and so far have stood up well. Although the rear seats fold down they don't sit flat, and a cross-brace behind the seats means it isn't as versatile as a true hatchback. The SE came with a donut spare tire & jack (helpful), voice-activated SYNC System, nice ambient lighting, and useful outlets for USB (3 jacks), SD cards (2 slots), and DC plugs (2). However, the car does have some nagging issues: The clutch seems to chirp during the 1st few releases but then settles down, no idea why. The car has a random battery drain issue which has yet to be resolved after 60K miles - could be the Bluetooth, the radio, SYNC System, automatic headlights, trunk light switch, no one seems to know - but it could leave the car dead without warning. And, replacing the cabin air filter is an exercise in patience. Bottom line? It's a quiet, economical car built on a budget with average performance, less-than-average interior room, a comfortable front seating area, useful but not efficient cargo space, and a bunch of helpful electronic goodies. Just be sure to research the car for any nagging issues - like sudden battery drain - before you consider buying.

This car is safe and reliable. It has sync for music and phone bluetooth, power windows. Keyless remote. 3 USB ports. Ac . Great on gas 45 miles per gallon.

Buyer beware...I have had nothing but problems with this car since the day I bought it...I bought it used with only 21.000 miles and it was a year old....even test driving it I felt something wrong but the salesman assured me it was nothing....I was very limited on what I could buy and needed a car asap so I trusted and believed him.....big big mistake....the first few months weren't bad except for the weird hesitation and shifting....took it to a Ford dealership and said all was good...WRONG....kept doing the same thing...then I get a recall paper for said hesitation a delayed shifting....take it back to Ford to fix and it's still doing the same exact thing....take it back to Ford and they say it's normal.....it's not normal for a new car to hesitate and delay shifting....so I decide to do research and almost every review I read had the same complaints and issues....in the mean time several other things go wrong with the car so I have a friend mechanic fix it...which he does (fixes the issue) unlike Ford....so I continue driving the car because I have no choice then the engine blows up( the car is 3 years old at this point) through no fault of my own.. I get a rebuilt engine put in and can u believe it has the same hesitation and delayed shifting for the 2 weeks I was able to drive it then this engine goes(no fault of my own)...so this car has been sitting in my garage for a year now undrivable and I'm unwilling to put more money and time into this lemon of a vehicle....I loved everything else about this car.....it was very comfy, I loved all the features and I loved how it looked....

I got this car at $8,000 and it had 64,500 miles on it. Had it less than two months and the car kept dying at any stop, air filter has to be changed frequently to let the car breathe. Computer has issues hooking up to ANYTHING. So itunes doesn't work unless I plug it and unplug it 20 times before going anywhere. This morning my transmission went up. Inside, its so nice with the lights and the screen. When it isn't having issues it drives very well and compared to my jeep it has amazing MPG.However, the issues I've had with it and seeing the other reviews with the same issues, DON'T buy this car. 2014 automatic ford fiesta. HUGE waste of money. Should of just stuck with my jeep.
