I’m not going to lie...I was skeptical when I first bought the car. I went from a large sedan to a subcompact hatchback. I fell in love with this car. Even though it’s only 120hp it still has a powerful feel to it because I feel that’s all this car really needs. The steering is very agile and responsive. It’s no sports car by any means but it’s definitely fun to drive, especially on long country roads. Despite the horsepower it still gets up there on highways also. The transmission was a little funky but when I brought the concern to the dealership they fixed it right away and now you wouldn’t even know it had a problem to begin with. The room for rear passengers is tight but manageable and the trunk is pretty big for a car in its class. This car also saved my life and maybe that’s why I’m a little biased to it. I was with friends driving home one day in the rain when the car in front of me got cut off. The other driver slammed on his brakes and I had little to no response time going 40 mph in the pouring rain. I slammed right into the back of him and me and my friends walked away with little to no injuries expect total shock. My fiesta was still driveable and only had exterior damage to the bumper and headlight. In any other car I feel the damage would have been much more extensive. My car was repaired and still drives on the road today with no signs it was even in an accident. I wouldn’t trade this car for the world (at least not right now lol). If you’re looking for a reliable car that’s good on gas, fun to drive, and is safe then the fiesta is the way to go

Fantastic Car - Until the Front Gets Hit

Moral of the story - It only takes a bit of force in the front end of this car to total it, but it is a fantastic car before that! Just look at the crash test scores for the 2015 compared to the 2014 (didn't require the more in depth tests) on cars.com: "Front, Restraints and dummy kinematics - Poor," "Front, Structure and safety cage - Marginal," "Front, Overall evaluation - Marginal." If that doesn't scare you, then best of luck to you and may you never get in an accident because once you do your car is as good as totaled! Ford should focus on durability because the rest of what they did with this car was great. What I loved about my fiesta: Great handling, Smooth acceleration, Little road noise, Fantastic suspension, Nice entertainment system, Good vehicle feedback (tire sensors etc.), Amazing fuel economy (33-37 year round), and I am very sad to see the car go over such a minor incident! If you love yours be super careful with it!

Transmission failure at 100,000 km

Bought the car in 2017 from a dealer when it had only 41,000 km. Owned it for 3 years and only put 60,000 more km on it during that time. All its scheduled maintenance has been done, on time, and only at the Ford Dealership. They also did the Control Module replacement, as per Ford's recall. Took it for its scheduled oil change yesterday and asked them to also check a small noise I could hear coming from the front end. They said the entire transmission assembly needs to be replaced (~$5500 CND). This car has been pampered but hasn't even lived long enough to see its first scheduled transmission fluid change. Spoke to both the Dealership and Ford Canada and they won't offer a thing. Now I understand why there were Class Action lawsuits over this car in both Canada and the US. Sadly, the outcome was to only pay off some folks that had already spent out of pocket on 3+ repairs "on qualified components of the transmission". Ford doesn't want to admit that the entire transmission system is faulty. I guess its lucky I'm not repairing it so I'll keep my money and buy another car - which will NOT be another Ford.

Updated 6/11/20: After almost 3 years of owning this car, I can state that I am basically satisfied. The major trouble areas have been with Sync and the transmission/transmission control module. Fortunately, Ford has issued an extended warranty on these systems so there are no charges for the repairs. I am also getting some rust around the rea wheel wells, but this isn't unusual for the Northeast. Original Review: I was looking for a smaller newer car. This 2014 Ford Fiesta is great. The one thing I Wish it had is a backup camera. a year later I still love this car. and I still wish it had a backup camera. But the smaller size makes it maneuverable and easier to park. It is comfortable on day trips too.

Moving from an Isuzu Rodeo to the Ford Fiesta took some adjustment. Being 5'2" I expected no problems. But even after 2 years, I am still hitting my head on the door edge when getting into the car. Moving from a vehicle I stepped up into to a vehicle I sit down (lower than I am when standing) has been an adjustment. The cargo area is adequate, but have had some difficulty due to being shorter in overall length inside than the Rodeo. With the purchase of bumper to bumper warranty for 6 years has added a lot of peace of mind. It has GREAT value of gas consumption. I only drive about 3,000 mi. per year, and there have been several times I have forgotten about putting gas in the tank, for over a month, when I started with a full tank. Mileage is great. Pick up is great. For a small person, plenty of seat room, and room for my kayaking stuff. I tow a small/light weight trailer that holds 2 kayaks and after putting an extension to raise the connector ball on the hitch, it has been great for trips to the beach from my home about 1 hour away. For a LITTLE car, this vehicle has been quite functional and comfortable. Visibility is good for the driver and others on the road. Runs smooth, quiet, efficient. Upholstery is in great shape even after 2 years of beach trips and lots of sand inside. I have enjoyed having a little car, but look forward to moving up to a midsize SUV in the next 12 months, (Update: Well, that's not going to happen, unfortunately. Had to buy a new roof and A/C will need replacing soon. Drat!)
