Used 2012 Ford Fiesta Consumer Reviews

good deal

Great basic car

I was looking for a car to just commute in Monday thru Friday it has been great . 33-34 mpg city 40 on the hwy doing 75 to 80 mph. just change the oil and put gas in it . the only problem I've had was the Throttle position censer went bad. about $400.00 but I had bought insurance. i also have a 5 speed so I can't say about the Automatics. Also got the Sync a little difficult sometimes, ok for first gen. artificial intelligence but great for hands free phone use. i bought the car in NOV.2011 and have 69K on it as of 6/17.Will probable keep it till it dies which I'm hoping is about 200K

Buy A Toyota!!!

I have a 2012 FORD FIESTA that has had to have 2 transmissions replaced and now the catalytic converter replaced due to the issues with the transmission. FORD is aware that the fiesta's and fusion's all have the shutter and lag when you push on the gas. You can call their 800-WE-DONT-CARE number but FORD will not stand behind their product. If enough people come forward maybe FORD will take some action. [HTML removed]

DON'T BUY THIS CAR

If you are gonna buy this car I'll save you some trouble and just say I will trade you whatever car you're driving now and I'm sure it's better than mine. I've had this car for 3 years, I'm the second owner and I bought it off of my uncle who I know took good care of it. From the month after I bought it I had to take it into the dealership for repairs. I'm lucky my uncle still had an active extended warranty on the car becuase if not then over the past three years I wouldve gotten in so much debt just trying to keep this thing working right. First off nothing about the layout is intuitive but once you get used to it, the other problems with it are so loud that you dont even notice it. The SYNC system for music in the car is notorious ( I was informed by the dealership) for not working. It picks and chooses when it wants me to connect my phone through USB and bluetooth is very crackly and not intuitive. Two months into having the car, post already bringing it in for a driving issue, the stereosystem just stopped all together and they had to reconfigure the whole system... that's happened another time since then. I have not gone two months since having the vehicle, without having to bring it in. The dealership experience has been vague, costly (even with the warranty) and confusing. I would do anything to sell this car for just enough to get a more reliable vehicle but the resale value is horrible. I just need to have this car get through 1 and a half more years of college but the warranty is up in three months and I dont think she'll last long after that. It's a lemon, it's not comfortable and I would never recommend it to anyone... Unless you want mine, then by all means it's a wonderful family car and no I dont want to show you the maintenance reports becuase you'll run the other way.

Sweet Ride

Handling is awesome and fuel economy is better then manufacturer says. I have been getting 40mpg with it. It is a power box. I can blow away other cars. 0-60 in now time. I live in Utah it handles snow and ice great. Steep hills. This is the frist car I have ever drove that didn't bog down on this one pass. It hauled I mean I could over flew up the thing. And with the right tires it's pretty good at off roading. Ford is nuts for not producing this anymore. All that being said get a manual transmission. The automatic transmissions are finicky at best. I was forced into this car. Love it would love it better if it was a manual. I can't overstate this enough probably one of the all around funnest cars I have ever drove. Plus it's very versatile in that it can be just another car, or there's plenty Ford and after market parts to trick it out. You drop it for a road racer. You can put rally parts on it for off roading. Being a Ford it's easy to trick it yourself.
