1.0 Ecoboost - Fun, cheap, quick, fun

Fair warning: The Ecoboost Fiesta only comes with a manual transmission. It's best to think of the Ecoboost Fiesta as a fun and practical driver's car, but not a family car. It's more like a 2 door that you can happen to fit 4 people into if you really need to, but the space in the back seat is more useful if you fold the seats down and use it for luggage. If you don't need a family car, the 3 cylinder ecoboost model is amazingly fuel efficient and fast. Easily will get 40MPG (if not 50) on a highway, and is much faster than a Prius. The Honda Fit is also pretty quick, but the Fiesta's engine is quiet on a freeway. It's also arguably more fun to drive than a Fit, and can be considered more of a driver's car. Overall the Honda Fit is probably more practical, but the Fiesta is fun and I think very stylish looking. The fuel efficiency on this model can't be beat either. If you don't know how to drive a manual transmission I probably wouldn't recommend any Fiesta. The best ones only come with a stick, and the automatic transmission is just alright at best. If you CAN drive a stick, you can get the Ecoboost model at a deep discount. I got mine for $4,000 off MSRP, at $15,000 brand new off the lot. Fully optioned with the heated seats and moon roof.

Its a wonderful little fuel saver, however there is still clutch problems reported. Im having my transmission/ clutch problems at 70,000 miles. so as of 11/12/19 the extended warranties on the powertrain only cover 2011-2014 models. $$$ down the drain.

I purchased the 2016 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback in feb of 2017. I've owned the car for a little over 2 years now. Over the last 2 years I haven't had many issues with the vehicle. There was a recall on the clutch with mostly the ford focuses but I took mine in just in case before my warranty was up and turns out my clutch was damaged and it was an automatic. Go Figure. It's not really spacious. I can really only fit 2 people in the backseat even though there are 3 seats because I have to push the drivers seat all the way back (I'm 5'6).The Bluetooth system SYNC can be touch sometimes but I've only had to call SYNC twice in the last 2 years to help me fix the Bluetooth issue and they were more than helpful. Other than that I love the touch screen, all the gadgets and so far the reliability. Good car and wasn't bad when i drove it 8 hours from CT to WV. Comfortable and Really Great on Gas!

Love the car in every respect. One change should be made, that is the middle console does not give elbow enough shifting room without hitting.

This car has been wonderful to own. The SE options package is worth it. I like the trunk much better then the hatch back. This car can get over 500 miles per tank with four adults and some luggage. The tires could be a little wider but I have no real problems cornering or stopping. Acceleration is great and if you do not like full auto you put it in semi manual mode to punch it up hills or past cars on the freeway. The sync system has been error free and even connects to a tracphone flip phone blue tooth despite saying in the manual it is not compatible. It will not play "unprotected" mp3's via usb thumb drives but has no problem with mp3's on a CD. Have rotated the tires every 5k -10k and they are getting near the wear indication mark on the stock tires at 32000 miles. I do not expect more then 45k miles out of stock tires anyway....I love my 2016 Ford Fiesta!
