Unbelievable fiesta
We get 43+ mpg in hwy. Why buying an hybrid. The only fault is the noise in the cabin, all you heard is the road, unless you crank you radio.

Good little car for recent college grad
Owned the car for 2 years. No issues with the car that are outside of normal maintenance. The car was great in the illinois. Traveled well, got greatness mileage and was not too bad comfort wise. We recently sold the vehicle because needed something all wheel drive in as we moved to snow belt. This vehicle was okay in light snow but not the greatest in heavy snow. It was a very good vehicle though.

don't every buy this thing.
i just wanna say i don't know much about cars but i will never buy a Ford again because of my experience with this Ford Fiesta. I've had this car for just over a year (bought it end of August 2017. currently end of December 2018) and it's been in the shop at least once every two months. the clutch/transmition has been changed MULTIPLE times (at least 3 times) . i really do actually LOVE this car but we are getting tired of it being in the shop so often. I'm a collage students and a part time worker and if i miss theses this often it will ruing a lot. we are currently looking into trading it in and getting a Toyota and driving that instead and finish off paying the loan separately. My family is done buying Fords.

Adaptive Transmission and Poor Gas consumption issues
We purchased the 2012 Ford Fiesta SE (Auto) in August of last year. Since we have put on over 33,000 km on it. Never had a issue with until last week. While accelerating there seemed to be a slip or clunk in the transmission and there would be no acceleration for a very brief period of time. We also started to notice a dramatic drop in our MPG. The first 8 months of use we would get around 650km per tank of gas on a mixed driving terrain. Now we are lucky to push 425km per tank. Dealer says it was the ATC and said it is fixed now. We will see. I really hope the gas consumption gets resolved.
Steering Knock
I have a Fiesta Zetec with a 1.4 TCI engine. I have had this car since 2010 and until early this year I have had no problems. A knock started to appear when I turned the steering in either direction. The vehicle was taken to both a Ford garage and an independent garage but despite changing the tie bar links the knock was still present, and after the vehicle had been lifted off its wheels the knock was more excessive. I discovered the cause of the problem and have informed both garages of what I had discovered. By unlocking the steering when height adjuster and lowering the steering wheel by a very small amount (5mm) the knock has been resolved. Although adjusting the column position will resolve the knock it is not the permanent solution as the power steering pack still moves on the column and still today Ford have not accepted this is an issue and have not resolved the problem Still no resolution to the steering knock 2018
