Great car

I live in Houston where traffic is absolutely horrible. I wanted a car that could drive easy in this metropolis mess. The fiesta has been perfect the 4 months I have had the car. I bought it used with only 20,000 miles. Perfect car and I am 6’5”. I took one 1000 road trip and was perfectly comfortable, it’s not the best but definitely not the worst.

Great little car

We had a prius C before... this has a little less tech.. it's the basic S model so stick and roll down windows. That said it has lots of pep... great on curvy roads and rainy conditions. Shifts easily. Mileage so far is at or over what they say so getting 37 / 38. We only have 2500 miles so far but have owned other small fords and this is as good or better. The prius had one big fault... no torque if one got the drive wheel in anything soft or challenging. And of course we had 156k on it and worried it would need a battery. This car handles even better than the prius... has more pep... and for a gas engine great mileage. We got a new 2018 and 3k back from ford so cost 11k +. I would recommend it based on our experience to date.

While this car doesn’t accelerate super quickly, I love this little car! It’s great on gas and fun to drive!

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.
