This is a real fun car. We have the automatic which is a gem. Gear shifts are seamless and the grade assist is really neat. Telescopic steering wheel allows me to get really comfortable. Ford has a winner here.

This is a wonderful car with great build quality, a great ride and great handling. I've had this car nearly a month now and I must say that I'm very impressed with it overall. Overall, Ford has hit a home run with this car. I was considering a Honda Fit but chose the Fiesta instead. It simply had a superior ride. Having said that though, it was a tough choice given the the versatility of the Fit. If the Fiesta and the Fit had a baby together, it would be a perfect car. On the refresh of the Fiesta, at the very least, Ford should have the rear seats fold flat and ditch the huge rear headrests. In order to fold the seats flat I have to remove mine. The Fit has the superior design here.

I usually keep my vehicles about 10 years and then sell them myself. I traded this car in after 4 years because I could not in good conscience sell it to anyone. Jerky, multiple code problems, sensor problems, excelleration problems, etc...what a piece of junk! Wanted to buy a Ford since they did not take bale out money. Back to being a Chevy girl.

I have owned over 25 cars, this is a good car. It was willed to me, and I am happy that I wound up with it. It has good acceleration on the freeway, is comfortable, has a great stereo system, SYNC works well, it even has the Sirius Satellite option. The only problems I have had with it are: Stud for bracket for shifting mechanism backed out of the transmission housing causing it to not go into gear, had to repair with a Time-Sert (helicoil), ignition switch just went bad, and there was some issue with the gas pedal sensor that was covered under warranty. My car is white, I tinted the windows, added an aftermarket center console and found some 15 spoke 17x7 Ford Racing wheels, alloy, so it looks very sporty. I am overall happy with my car.
