Hi everyone had to upgrade to a 2017 Ford fiesta when my 2011 Ford fusion was totaled and it was the best decision actually a blessing as this thing is one of the best cars I’ve ever driven Starters I believe this is the best subcompact car as far as power and handling are involved while still being efficient I drive somewhere between 200 and 300 miles a day and I am somewhat of a spirited driver this thing still is able to give me 30 even at continual rate of 80 mph in my 2011 Ford fusion driving 200 300 miles a day I was getting with base four-cylinder 12 to 16 miles per gallon the fiesta has enough power to (keep up with) just about anything on the road because of its 4.04 Final Drive ratio Ford really did really well with this car I would definitely choose again the fiesta especially over another fusion or a focus i’ve only had this car a couple weeks so can’t speak on reliability but I really like how you can shift gears yourself which does come in handy in traffic as others have mentioned it can gear hunt sometimes (keep in mind it is a dual clutch manual) but yes this thing is amazing luckily I got mine with the sunroof but unfortunately did not get the sync three system as another reviewer mentioned and recommended. I believe ford purposely made the Bluetooth audio a bit difficult to work with the base radio as I continuously get out of my car about 2530 times a day and I found that it’ll switch to aUX and instead of just pressing one button you have to inconveniently go through the menu and switch Bluetooth again (i’m a delivery carrier so this can definitely be a problem) but this is a cheap car if I could do it all over I would’ve tried to search for the titanium model but then again this is a used car now I would recommend anybody searching for one of these cars to get the sync 3 system as it’s really hard to find a radio to fit this kind of car I’ve never been able to get the stated mileage or EPA of vehicle until I got this great commuter car for one to two people would not recommend for people with families as the reviewer‘s have said this car does have a small trunk and small backseat But that’s what I own another vehicle for this would be a great vehicle if your expectations are something to get just you around town or a first time drivers car Will still recommend for first time drivers because if they have passengers and they want to complain they can get their own car My advice if you get one keep it as I see these things becoming what 90’s civics used to be fun efficient but maybe not reliability not sure about that part yet

I bought this car as CPO. This little beauty goes and you don't feel the ride, its smooth and fast, just give it your command and you feel the excitement and real enjoyment. My husband has a Ford Taurus and now he take the car from me to work without telling me. He loves the car and I am sure a lot out there can share with me the same scenario. Yes and keep running my friend.

I owned my Fiesta ST for 3 years and the 1.6 engine is a low horsepower turtle. I sold the car for a 5.0 Mustang as soon as I could.
