I got a brand new car for 10K out the door

So this is my first American car and new car purchase. My last 2 cars were VW. This car is not a VW. It is not as fast and the manual shifting is not as smooth. I bought a base car so I do not have power windows. I got a backup camera and Bluetooth but no power windows. I would rather have power windows instead. It sucks if you have to go to the drive thru because you have to crank the window. However, this will limit how much I eat out now 😀. Thank god for ac so I will probably never let the windows down. I was surprised there was no armrest. It’s a little thing but you don’t realize how much you miss something until it’s gone. I like that the rear seats fold down and I will say that I am enjoying the hands free calling. I’d still rather have power windows though. It’s smaller than my Jetta and the dog is making the best of it not having a sunroof anymore. I’ve only had the car for a week now and I’m still getting used to it. I can’t complain because I got a new car for 10K.

Fun hot hatch

The Ford Fiesta ST is an incredible drive & value. I own other Ford products and Porsche’s and this is the car I like taking for a spirited drive while plenty of room for 4 plus groceries.

Ford Fiesta - Too bad they stopped making these

Great little car. Unbelievable gas mileage. This is our second Fiesta; bought one a year ago and another one today. Wish they still made these. The notion of only selling CUVs/SUVs/Trucks is wrong-headed by Ford.

First time car buyer

This is the perfect car for me. It is not too big nor not too small, but perfect! It also comes with all the necessary features that I need.

Meets the Needs

I frequently go to sewing events and take a very large, very heavy machine. I went to the dealership fully intending to purchase a small SUV. Being fairly short, I was concerned about the height I would have to lift the machine in order to get it into the back....enter the Fiesta Hatchback. It meets all my needs perfectly in terms of space and easy access. Most surprising was the power and handling. Since my other car is a Mustang, I was expecting a sluggish, sloppy experience in a small car - but that is not the case. It may be small but the Fiesta packs a punch! The interior and exterior styling is clean and sleek. The instrument panel is easy to view and access without being confusing. For power, performance and styling in a small vehicle the Fiesta is the answer.

Still learning all the features.

I think it will be fine for me for the next few years. I do not drive very much anymore. The car is fine for my needs.

Only if you can’t afford a better vehicle

I’ve just spent a vacation week in a rented 2019 Fiesta. I picked it mostly because it was one of the few rentals still available with a stick shift. Sadly, except for the fun of doing my own gear work, I’m unthrilled. Pros: - Lots of fun with the stick. - Decently comfortable front seats, esp. for a low-end vehicle. - Excellent sound quality - High mounted viewscreen is very visible - Small size makes it super-easy to park Cons: - Tiny rear window and steeply-raked roof SERIOUSLY limit visibility - Correspondingly puny side mirrors make passing / being passed a real challenge - Dash, vents, and other controls are contorted by Ford designers' fixation with slanted layouts and uber-creative curves. - Cramped dash space forces odometer, temp, and fuel gauge displays into postage-stamp footprints that can be very tough to read. - Rear sear is uncomfortable for normal adults - Cargo space is very limited, even allowing for the fact that it’s a compact car.
