As I retired teacher I needed a new, inexpensive car. I now have 18,000 miles on it. I have not had any issues. Sure, you have road noise in the cabin, but it is a small car.

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.

Good gas mileage. Get up and go is spunky! It's small,which as a small d lady,I love. Not a lot of tech,but more than enough for me. Not a lot of caro space or seat room,but all I need. Perfect for me but would not be for some other people.

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 😃

I'd buy this commuter again. Manual, SE Appearance package, fun to drive. 82,000 miles, no issues.
