I love my four door "sports" car!

2016 Ford Fiesta SE 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

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!

Our 2016 Fiesta SE Sedan is our new RV motorhome tow car. The Pro's: Good road handling, good acceleration, sport car feel steering, great visibility, incredible gas mileage (38/39 Hwy), large trunk, well thought out instrument panel. blue tooth and nice radio. Con's: transmission quirky and not as smooth as I'd like, rear leg room limited for full size adults. With a base price of $13,900 it's a great value and over all we're very, very happy with it.

BEWARE! extremely poor build quality. Made in Mexico. I really want to like this car with it's European design, and great economy, however, the build quality is horrible. The front shocks were no good from day one, some of the trim (fit and finish is falling apart). The Air Conditioning has been an intermittent problem from day one. Numerous trips to the dealer for service with the same "It didn't happen while it was here, so we can't/ won't fix anything.) he AC blows cold/ hot randomly and without pattern. I definitely wish I had spent a little more and purchased a Honda instead. Devaluation. The car is now worth half of what I owe, so I am trapped in this plummeting vehicle. Update: This model has been discontinued by Ford. I now drive a brilliant Honda Accord.

Great value, but short on interior room and acceleration. Gets very good mileage and rides well for such a short wheelbase.

I have a 2016 Fiesta and I absolutely love it. It does not look fancy. But rides like a horse and will do 80 in a heart beat. Car has real good traction control and I love the Mileage it gives when driving under 70 MPH on an Interstate. Ride is comfortable and the FM stereo isn't bad wither. Have been a VOLVO owner since 1998,intially skeptical about this little car, so far only changed oil and it runs great.
