Used 2017 Ford Fiesta Consumer Reviews
Ford Fiesta SE
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.

Finally a fun American small car
America hasn't had fun small cars like this since the German Opel's. Great car, small, fast, nimble, cheap to own and to operate. Nothing fancy mechanically that will break the bank later, very nice amenities inside. Not for a family of four all the time unless you're all small, but as I now have a new driver, I find that as a "2 seater with four doors and a lot of storage", this car is perfect. 3 people easily also, but the storage isn't awesome. She is a little car after all.

Best little car I ever owned, I owed a lot.
The previous new car I had for 10 years was a BMW 330i (E46). Than the ST came along. This ST performs same and sometimes better. Ford thru in a free whole day racing class in Utah. I took it. Spinning this thing is the most fun I had outdoors in a while. This car had ZERO PROBLEMS. The maintenance thus far (3.5 years) was 4 oils changes for a total of $200.00. Granted I do not drive a lot, but this things is a blast. Get one if you can. Oh, my 6.2" 18 year old son fits in just fine. Back is tight for long drive. Audio is amazing.

What could have been.....needs improved!
I was initially excited to try the Fiesta of the FOST fame, and it handled really well from a handling perspective in taking turns and being zippy. It also got excellent gas mileage (over 42mpg highway) for one of my trips, and overall was a comfortable ride. The challenge with the vehicle was the horrible powertrain; between the engine and the transmission, it couldn't figure out what it wanted to do. This was especially horrible for a stop-n-go or heavy traffic situations such as one would face in a daily commute, the engine kept revving and the transmission kept changing, it was very indecisive. Overall, decent car once it has a refined or improved powertrain, until then avoid for your own sanity.

Absolute POS
If you're thinking about it, don't. Get a Fit instead. Take your current payment and double it. That's how much you'll average in repairs to keep it running. Simple things like O2 sensors going bad immobilize the vehicle and leave you stranded. Not to mention Ford pushes really hard for you to take it to the dealer with their proprietary diagnostic tools. Not to mention the notoriously bad DPS6 transmission. Stay away.
