Used 2011 Ford Fiesta Hatchback Consumer Reviews
I made the right choice!
I have put over 2000 miles on my brand new Ford Fiesta and I have to say that any worries I had purchasing the car based (mostly) on just reviews have been put to rest. The car gets great gas mileage, I am averaging just over 34 mpg in 40/60 city/hwy driving. The rides quiet and has the perfect balance between too firm/too soft suspension. It is a blast to take fast around tight turns. The interior quality is by far the best of any car I have owned (I've always owned < 25k cars). I couldn't be happier I bought this car.
Please don't buy this car with the Automatic
This is the worst car I've ever owned, I'm from England and my experience with the Ford Fiesta from Europe is very different to the junk that's being sold here in the states. My car has 40k on it and it's on its 4th transmission, which has been done under warranty. The car is dangerous at times with throttle problems related to fords highly flawed double dry clutch. Look elsewhere if your in the market for a used car because this one has been a big regret of mine

Fun, Fit and Finish
We have now had our new Fiesta SES hatchback for about a month, and put about a thousand miles on it. We have the Powershift 6-spd automatic (not listed as an option the Edmunds review?) The car is fun to drive, has good handling, adequate power, and great gas mileage. It looks great, and it has been perfect so far. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, fun, economical car - it's not an econobox - it's a great car that happens to be efficient.
Nice little car
2011 5-spd, with 7500 miles. Positives: very satisfied overall, fun to drive, great design, averaging 41 mpg highway and town (not city) driving, comfortable ride, excellent handling, good brakes, reasonably quiet. Negatives: slightly underpowered, but OK for the mileage it gets, could use a sixth gear on the manual, rpms are a bit high at speed, mine is white, looks great but the undercoat is black, and the paint chips very easily, leaving black holes in the finish, no cabin air filter, and squirrels ate the insulation from under the hood, which the dealer wouldn't cover, even though in my opinion this is a design oversight on Ford's part.
little green bomb
I am critical of the car and dealership that sold it to me. Bought it used from RWH dealership in Knoxville, TN. If I ever have a chance to buy a new car it won't be from them. I think that because I didn't finance it and paid cash (they make more if you finance it), they pushed a bad car on me. From the moment I drive it off the lot it has had problems. First the engine light and seat belt light came on and stayed on. Took it back and they gave me a loaner car. When I went back to pick it up after it was "fixed", it wouldn't even start , so RWH took it to a Ford dealership where it stayed for about a week. The Ford dealership replaced a battery and some sort of vacuum line which was covered by RWH. It set idle for a couple of days and wouldn't start until the third try so I don't know what is wrong with it now. I know used cars come under the "buyer beware" but reputable dealers (and RWH is the acronym for a very large dealership in East Tennessee) should have to back their products more. It's not like I paid them 500 bucks at a "buy here, pay here" lot. $7625.00 is a big chuck of change for me.
