I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta S with a manual transmission.I bought it with 120,000 miles and took a gamble.At first it had a issue with it revving by itself but then I cleaned the whole throttle body clean up the mass air flow sensor and haven't had a issue since .It now has 245000 miles and still my daily driver. It's interior is cheap but as long as you take care of it I think it's great for something for a to b traveling I take it everywhere across states and change oil and filters regularly along with other mechanical parts (all normal wear and tear)love this car

Bought in 2013 so it 2as a year old with 30k miles, and transm8ssion failed and there was a recall for that, door locks failed while traveling with 2 seniors in the back seats, recall for that and now in 2024 need to buy another car at 87,000 miles because the air bag light came on and the passenger air bag sensor needs replacing, which just happens to be in the seat itself, Ford no longer makes the part, and the estimate to repair is $900.00 and $2,000 from 2 repair shops because the whole seat needs to be replaced. I also read some models had air bags recalls, but they claim mine was not part of the recall. And although they did the transmission recall work, the car was still always feeling like it would stall. Done with Ford.

I really enjoy driving this car. It has great handling fuel economy reliability and style. Handles great in all weather conditions including ice, snow and rain. I have the five speed manual and if you can handle a manual transmission the car can be launched quite briskly. Reminds me of some seventies sports cars I've owned. If you get the xx model it's turbocharged and is a mini rocket sled. An aftermarket turbo is available for a reasonable price.
