Fun to drive, quicker than I expected.

For a small car front seat area comfortable, quiet, firm ride, back seats should fold flat. Still like design and size of vehicle. Transmission responds well and engine noise is not noticeable.

No thank you!!

This car was WAAAAAYYY too small, the buttons were displayed in a very confusing manner, it felt pije I didn't have good handling on it...wasn't a very confident drive. May be a good started car for a teen or something, just because of its size...but as an established adult....I would never buy this car for myself.

A Good Second Car for Our family needs.

I've only owned this vehicle a very short time, It handles well and I enjoy the comfort of owning another vehicle. If you need a second car I recommend this vehicle.

Great price bad purchase overall

I?ve had my Ford Fiesta for less than a year . The first month I loved it but slowly I?ve noticed all the issues slowly the window trim is coming off the window then it started making a few funny noises then I find out the backup camera is standerd but mine doesn?t have it and tonight was my last straw I ran low on gas gotta love that capless tank right ?it?ll be easy to fill right? No no it?s not and requires a special funnel if your using a gas can which most of the time is already a frustrating situation because most don?t have a gas can in there trunk it?s dark out so I didn?t know it required a special one I got gas all over me and my new car . Thank god it?s not an emergency plus if you read the reviews on the capless tank you?ll change your mind too . Don?t change a good thing Ford and guess what I?ve never had a can?t get down the road issue because of a gas cap. So tomorrow I?ll be praying I can put gas in it myself without breaking it which also happens sometimes .

Good Value but cramped space

I was pleased with the price and how well it rides, but it is way too cramped inside. The center console needs to be much narrower in order to provide more leg room.

Great size for running around

Overall a decent vehicle for the price, everything is plastic, but what car isn't . No touch screen or navigation . Very comfortable and easy to drive.

Economical

Been wanting one for along time. Finally, found it this year. Due to the economy, I wanted the best gas mileage I could get. Only 10 minutes to work. But, my Dad has deminta & I take him for a ride everyday. He's commented he see's better out the windows.

First small car I've owned

Was looking for a used car but for less $$ I walked away with a brand new vehicle. Plenty of room, front wheel drive, back-up camera and enough bells and whistles to satisfy. I've only had it for a month but so far so good. The test will be when the snow hits.
