2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I had to have major engine repairs after 11,454 miles, the timing belt wrapped around the cam shaft, pulling it out just enough to lose power in the middle a Big Rig filled highway. I promise no one wants to be in that situation. Was fixed "Good as New" under warranty but the car is much worse now. PLEASE just go with something else. Maybe it was bad luck but it can still happen to anyone. I don't know exactly when I posted this review but I like to report that as of two weeks ago I sold it, well, traded in for answer, better built vehicle. It was the greatest day of my life, right after the birth of my daughter and my marriage. Don't buy this car and save yourself a world of trouble.

I was a Ford man; not after this piece of junk! 60,000 miles--transmission rebuilt 2X. A/C suffered catastrophic failure. Driven loaners for 6,000 miles already (I guess you could say this will extend my warranty approx. 10%) Ford should be ashamed of themselves! Transmission now (today, anyway) shifting better, but we have lost 2 MPG in the process! Bet the gov's and EPA will love this! False advertising! SYNC is more of an annoyance than anything else; belongs in the sink! I should have bought a Kia Soul! UPDATE 12/2017-Fourth transmission went out--stranding my wife and daughter (who has special needs and a wheelchair) on the highway. More drama than I prefer. FORD--SHAME ON YOU!!! No more new Fords in my driveway! EVER! Update 12/2018--Stranded 6th time-my wife won't drive it now. Finally traded it in on a new car of Japanese manufacture (here in the US) after we went round and round in arbitration. NEVER AGAIN A FORD IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!

Still the Best little car I've ever owned

Not sure why others are having so many complaints, in 27,461 miles I have had zero problems and zero complaints. This is the most perfect reliable, fuel efficient car I have ever owned, and this is number 40 in 31 years. I love everything about this Fiesta! For those who don't know, it is a Mazda 2 with the Ford Fiesta badge. Ford gave it the Kinetic energy body styling, but it's a Mazda 2. My Fiesta is now near 40,000 miles. I still have not had one problem with my Fiesta. The transmission continues to shift perfectly quiet and smooth all the time. Up shifts and down shifts are flawless and cannot be felt. The engine is still quiet, powerful and very fuel efficient, starts effortlessly every time. Handling and ride still amazes me for as small as the car is. I still love everything about this little car and wouldn’t trade it for anything else on the road today. Almost 40,000 miles and zero problems, take it to my local Ford dealership for regular oil and filter changes and no problems. Nothing has changed at all with my little 2013 Ford Fiesta. Now approaching 45,000 miles and not one problem or complaint about the Fiesta. Everything is working perfectly and flawlessly. Nothing but regular scheduled maintainance. After 1 year of ownership and nearly 20,000 miles, I have had zero problems and zero complaints! It’s been the “perfect” car for me. Nearly 51,000 miles and my little Fiesta is still operating perfectly. The only change is my gas mileage has gone up to almost 40 mpg. Otherwise, there has not been one problem or complaint about my Fiesta. The car consistently functions and operates exactly as it should. Again, just regular oil and filter changes when it’s due. I did replace the air filter myself at 50,000 miles. This coming April will be 3 years since I purchased the 2013 Fiesta and still not one problem or complaint to report. I love products that just work, and I still love my 2013 Ford Fiesta!! At 56,387 miles for state inspection, I had to have both front control arms replaced because both ball joints were in very bad shape. Had both rear shocks replaced because the passenger side was leaking and no longer working as a shock absorber, after those repairs, it passed inspection with nothing else needed. Engine and transmission are still flawless, ride and handling has improved with the replacement of the ballpoints and shocks. Still, no complaints. Great gas mileage, still has never failed to start and run perfectly, transmission at 56,673 miles, has had no problems at all. I’ve owned the Fiesta for over 3 years now and have put one set of tires on it, both front ball joints, and 2 rear shocks and a set of brake pads on the front. Besides regular oil/filter and air filter change, that’s it for a 7 year old car with over 56,000 miles on it. I still have no complaints or had any major problems, I still very much, love my little Fiesta!! Currently at 69,415 miles and no problems yet. The majority of work on the car in the past 4+ years has been just regular maintenance things. Engine purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion, when I blow into her. Transmission is still shifting so smoothly that shifts can’t be felt, I usually glance at the tachometer to know when it shifts, otherwise shifts are flawless. It pasted state inspection in April and needed nothing for inspection. Ride, handling and performance couldn’t be better. Going on 70,000 miles and still no major problems and I have no complaints. It’s still the best little car I’ve ever owned! This is a sad and last update for my 2013 Ford Fiesta. On September 17th, 2021 I paid off my Fiesta, 7 months early and had 4 new tires put on it. Tuesday September 21st, 2021 I was on my way to work over the mountain, when a large buck ran out in front of me and stood there. I hit the brakes, but it was too late. The entire front end of my Fiesta was trashed, the hood tee peed up and I couldn't see out the windshield, the radiator support, radiator and condenser were smashed tight up against the engine, the grill was completely gone, both headlight housings broken and hanging. Thursday September 23rd, 2021 my insurance company called to let me know that my Fiesta was a total loss. It was a great little car for the 4 years and 5 months I had it. I will always miss that little car, but I've moved on to a 2016 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring Sedan. It's kind of little going from a Pinto to a Lincoln. I can't imagine now, ever owning anything but a Mazda 3. RIP, little Fiesta SE, you may be gone, but not forgotten.

Ford you dang Shure don't have a better idea with this pile of Metal junk. A tranny that is a Joke a interior that a 5 foot man cant see anything out of it Visibility in this sardine can is afull,and the Car should be banned on all Major roads in the USA,and Major insurance company's should not insure any year of this car.Ford should be made to buy back ever one of them abortions. Even after they fixed the Tranny it still acts like a sick sick non functioning tin can concert This car has moved me to never again own a FORD.PS even a new Fiesta should never cost more the 9,000 since you going to loose 8,000 of right off the bat.Fords better idea is no where represented by this car Profit at the consumers expense is all this car is about
