I bought my Fiesta in July (I ordered to my specs), so far I've driven aprox. 2500 miles. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase, I used to drive an 07 Camry with a 2.4 engine. The Fiesta engine is not as powerful but it will not disappoint you, it will get to highway speeds fast, I feel the car begins to feel a little bit heavy going over 70 mph, at that point you will running at about 3000 rpm. I'm getting 34 mpg 50% city 50% Hwy, the Fiesta is quiet on the streets, suspension is good I barely use the SYNC (only to send the vehicle health reports to Ford), for the price this will a good purchase, it will save you money on commute and long trips.

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.

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.

I bought this car 8 years ago. It’s manual transmission. No assist. It runs well has never stopped on me , good on gas. It’s the green ugly color but someone told me that was the color of 2020 Covid green. It’s also cheap to maintain. The issues with recalls were minor to me but taken care of. So it’s a nice little car.

I was in the market for C size car but decided to give the Fiesta a go. After test driving I knew I was going to buy one. No longer does "cheap featureless small American car" have to go together. Acceleration is more than adequate. Braking and handling is great, quite a bit better than expected. I have little need for cargo space, but I could see how others may be turned off by the fact the seats don't fold flat. This is a well rounded car that small tweaks will make it even better. I don't recommend this car in city stop and go, fuel mileage will be at the bottom of the range and it is rough if you just try to roll. If you do anything else (I live in a suburban/rural area, it's great)
