Most fun regular people can afford

This car is amazingly fun to drive. Whenever you need power and speed, the car is there for you. The stock tires are not as much fun as they could be, but I've still felt perfectly comfortable over 100 mph on public roads. I've managed to get close to 6 second 0-60 times on stock equipment. The car really shines in the corners, I find that I can pull a U-turn at 25-30 without issue.

FUN! FUN and MORE FUN to DRIVE!

I currently own the Ford Fiesta ST ... the ST stands for Standard Transmission which is a manual 6t.... FIRST! I NEVER Thought I would enjoy owning a Ford (my other cars the last 20 years have been Toyota's) My other car is a 2002 MR2 Spyder... which I will never part with and is my FUN with Top Down Car.... BUT the Ford Fiesta ST Has the great fun to drive on trips with friends along the great curvy roads to Palm Springs! The Ford Fiesta ST is just so super fun to drive and even stuck in traffic, you get to enjoy Serius Radio... which has it all! I LOVE MY Ford Fiesta ST and we have gone many miles together...... this is a rugged car that can take the fun of the road and get you there in Rock star style! I feel like a race car driver in this car but a very responsible race car driver....AND WHATS REALLY COOL WITH THIS CAR..... they offer the Ford Octane Academy in Utah to show you what this car can really do! I haven't done this but I really want to do this as I love FAST CARS but I love feeling safe in the car I drive and the Ford Fiesta ST is BOTH.... FAST and SAFE! Plus.. it is Sporty and Just FUN!!!!!! I personally can't say enough about the car.. YOU JUST NEED TO GET YOUR BUTT IN THE SEAT and shift and DRIVE!!!! Good Times!!!!!!!!!

Transmission is wonky

The seating is uncomfortable, the floor is too high...too close to the seat. The transmission doesn't react normally, it studders in stop and go traffic...feels like it's not going to move and then kicks in. Works good at normal speeds and it's easy to go from zero to 80 without realizing it.

A Jazzy Little Car

I absolutely love my Fiesta. I was pretty skeptical at first, but once I drove it and saw all the features the model offers I was sold.

Affordable and super nice

I am 6,2 and even though the car is a compact car I have more than enough leg room. And I've had 4 people in the car at once and we had enough space. The car is beautiful in the inside and outside and it has a sporty feeling because is so close to the ground and compact. It has an awesome MPG and is super affordable. I 100% recommend this car.

Best car to save money on gas.

The fiesta is a nice first owner Car. I bought this because it was inexpensive and saves you a lot of money on gas.

Unbelievable value

The car is awesome. Great value for the money. The 2016 and on have the sync3 which is very intuitive and allows CarPlay (with a few updates of the sync system and the USB port). No need for navigation with that. The performance is amazing. Extremely tight turning and great acceleration from a rolling start. Love the turbo sound when you let off the gas. Not the most comfortable on the highway but it's under 3k pounds and it's a sport suspension...have to expect that. Not a ton of space with the rear seats up, but with them down there is ample storage space to use the back seat and trunk as a bigger trunk. Even got my wife's bicycle in the back after I took off the front wheel. 6 speed is very easy to shift and nice short throws. Great performance car with great MPG and relatively good space if used as a 2 seater with a big trunk.
