2013 Ford Fiesta Titanium 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful
This is easily the worst car I have ever purchased in terms of repairs. I bought it new, and within these 4 years of ownership, I have had it into the dealership's service center dozens of times. Major transmission problems. Electrical issues. Now the AC is broken. The car has 37,000 miles on it as of today, and has caused me NOTHING BUT HEADACHE. I bought the ridiculous extended warranty that covered everything (hah!), but not really. They still charge me for all kinds of things that should NEVER FAIL on a new car. Ford doesn't care that they've sold me a piece of crap. My husband's Honda CRV has 220,000 miles on it and goes in once a year for an oil change! NEVER ever buying Ford again. Biggest mistake ever.

7 transmissions, 17mpg! Quite a few other issues. Extended warranty is up and now more issues. Gave up a 23 year old reliable festiva for this nightmare. Some ford shops wouldn't even take it for repair, i was told because it has the bad vin number and tried talking me into a new ford instead of looking at mine. No thank you. No more ford for me! POS can hear nightmare creaking down the street. And ford took away the vehicle health report!

I purchased a 2013 Ford Fiesta Titanium HB with a 5 speed manual transmission with a little of 30k. At the time of this review I have had the car for about a month. Fist of all, I love the gas mileage, I am getting around 38MPG. The car accelerates good, but does have some motor lag with the AC on. However it's a manual, so I just push threw it. I am not a fan of the Sync system. I am 6,1" and I fit just fine in the car. I made a 4 hour dive last week, I got 40MPG with the AC on, and I was completely comfortable. The trunk is super tiny, but the seat fold down, so you can get around that. I stayed away from the automatic because of the reported problems.
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.
