This car I own has 158,000 miles. I’ve had the transmission go in for a clutch pack change one time. I don’t know why people would have problem, probably because they try and drive it like a race car. Great buy I definitely recommend

Bought this car used with 9,000 miles on her three years ago from CarSense. Was great until all the sudden I woke to find four inches of water in the back seat and water in my spare tire compartment in the truck. Took it to dealer after $500.00 to find where the leak was coming from, I was told this had been going on for a while and that it was coming from the hatch back gasket on the top portion. The leak was traveling under the roof cover into the truck and then also going behind the back seats under the carpet. This completely compromised the electrical harness and the CPU (that sits under your passage seat (no smart FORD). All this is not covered under the warranty, nor insurance. Now I have a car payment for two more years and no car. I have been driving with mold and mildew in my car for a while and had no idea. Always had Fords and yes they all have quirks but after looking on the internet and YouTube I have discovered this is a BIG problem. The rear door and hatch back gaskets give way after a couple of years and allow water to leak into the back. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the little car! It's a blast to drive, it parks like a mini, handles like a go-kart and (as my wife says) it looks cute. So here is my breakdown: Pro's: Performance (Ford nailed it with the DCT transmission. The dual clutch really wakes up the little powerplant and makes you feel like you have some real horses under the hood, plus you don't have the "shift lag" of a normal automatic - I was leaning toward the manual, until I drove the automatic - get the latter) Fuel Economy (I've gotten 34 combined hwy and city, and I tend to drive fast - ok, too fast) Price (it's a great car at an affordable price. That said, it is really an entry-level car, don't expect Mercedes-level features)

I was driving a 2009 Ford Fusion SEL loaded with every possible option. Had mostly driven German cars prior but in 2009 purchased the Ford Fusion. Loved the car but the gas mileage was poor and was looking to down size to get better MPG and cut payments. Looked at all the cars on the market for 2 months. I ended up with the 2011 Ford Fiesta. I have had it for a few weeks and the car is great. Fun to drive, gets about 36 MPG in heavy metropolitian traffic, better on hwy. SYNC system is much improved since 2009 and I love the real time traffic, bluetooth, and turn by turn navigation. Could not be happier as I trippled my MPG, cut payment in half. Safety features are awesome. Way to go FORD!
