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.

My only complaint is the idiots that decided to quit making this car . probably not built for 6-1 235lb 55 year old guy but I thought after looking at all the others this would work 1.6 l automatic se is great probably much better next generation transmission.. but most people never had to drive cars from sixties and seventies so I can get tell you there isn't any thing to complain about other than I wish I would have gotten higher trim if I knew it was going to be so enjoyable take care of it maintenance 😃

Good enough car.

The front seat doesn't slide back far enough for someone 6 feet or taller. The engine is adequate and smooth, although it can bog when the AC is on high in the heat of summer. Handling is crisp, ride is good, but the brakes could be stronger. (Drums in back) Fuel mileage is pretty much as rated. The dual clutch transmission is Ok....Ford has worked out most of the kinks......however, it can still stumble at times. I think a torque converter automatic would be the best choice, even if it extracts a small penalty in gas mileage.

Fun little economy car

First off, I have the SE hatchback with the 1.0 3 cylinder ecoboost engine (SFE package). It's actually pleasing to drive - acceptable power and fuel efficient to boot. It won't win any races, but it's not boring either. Comes standard with a manual transmission, which I prefer anyway- light clutch and solid shifts (although it's only a 5 speed and no reverse lockout). For fuel economy, I'm averaging between 33-38 mpg, which translates to 375-425 miles on one tank (12 gallons) depending on the season. But be careful, it's easy to go fast in this car because it drives so well. I can definitely tell this car came from Europe, handling is surprisingly good and car feels solid going down the road. My biggest gripe with the handling is the cheap economy Hankook tires this car comes standard with - fine in the dry but poor grip when wet or snowy. Upgrade your tires to get the most out of this car. Interior fit and finish is very good, doesn't feel terribly cheap like most American car interiors. Visibility is outstanding, LOVE the large windshield and the airy feeling it gives you. Decent stock audio system, but the base Sync screen is too small and recessed for my taste. And I find it annoying having to rely on voice commands to change audio source because it's otherwise buried in the settings if you do it manually. Sync reliability and functionality hasn't been great with my car and there is no update, but when it does work, it works OK. Interior cargo space isn't anything to brag about and the rear seats don't fold down flat, but apart from that, you can get a fair amount of stuff in the back nonetheless. Rear seats are best meant for small kids and only two of them at most, so this isn't a family car by no means. But the seats are fairly comfortable for all passengers that do fit inside. Overall reliability hasn't been terrible with only a couple things worth mentioning. So far, I've had to replace the A/C compressor, coolant tank, coolant hose, and oil cooler, with only the compressor covered under warranty. Occasionally, my Sync voice commands stop working and the only way to reset it is to disconnect the battery for a minute - dealerships can't explain why this happens or replicate the problem (go figure). But I'm currently at 53,000 miles and running strong despite all that. Overall, I'm satisfied with my Fiesta and it will serve me well until it dies. The Honda Fit has better cargo room, but I chose the Fiesta because it's more of a driver's car and gives me more smiles per gallon.
