  • Love It! Lots of fun! - 2016 Ford Fiesta

    I couldnt believe the trunk space and ride of this compact car!

  • An Amazingly well designed piece of Car. - 2016 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    The Ford Fiesta ST, although carrying that ridiculous name, is by far one of the best designed vehicles for the dollar i have ever driven. The Cars designers wen in on Day 1 and said OK how much do we have? OK! Lets put it all in the Handling, Transmission, and Engine, and whatevers left we will add into the interior. The ST has the shittiest door handles you;ll ever see, and the pedals are missing a dead pedal which is absolutely essential for a manual drive car. The Cup holders are ridiculously close to the Handbrake, and the rear view mirror reminds me of my 87 300Z. Here is where the 5 stars come in. The Controls are all fully purposed and perfectly designed. The nav is amazing! I would even say it is better than Google maps in some respects. The handling is both fully responsive and light, and the car just pulls forever with that clean running turbo. The transmission pulls you towards the next gear but doesnt fight you when you try and force it down one. All this handling, power, and responsiveness, and still has a really good Sony Stereo. The optional recaro seats are a complete must as they hug and comfort you every turn you take. My previous car was a 350Z and this car is much more fun to drive, and feels so much lighter on the turns vs having to wrangle the car into them. I highly recommend the ST to anyone who is looking for a fun commuter, but doesnt want to lost the sports car fun.

  • Ford Fiesta-Great bang for the buck! - 2016 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    Our 2016 Fiesta SE Sedan is our new RV motorhome tow car. The Pros: Good road handling, good acceleration, sport car feel steering, great visibility, incredible gas mileage (38/39 Hwy), large trunk, well thought out instrument panel. blue tooth and nice radio. Cons: transmission quirky and not as smooth as Id like, rear leg room limited for full size adults. With a base price of $13,900 its a great value and over all were very, very happy with it.

  • Finally a fun American small car - 2016 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    America hasnt had fun small cars like this since the German Opels. 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 youre 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 isnt awesome. She is a little car after all.

  • If the following are true, you probably want one: - 2016 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    1) You dont need a ton of space for passengers or cargo. Its perfectly reasonable for everyday use, but 4 adults wont be comfortable for more than an hour, and it doesnt have the kind of cargo space to pack more than for like a couples long weekend. 2) You can put up with a stiff ride and some wind noise. The suspension is very firm; the ride isnt crashy, but it is firm. If you open the windows above about 60mph, there is buffeting. Thats it. This thing is a riot, start to finish: energetic, fun, easy to drive, agile beyond its competition, and surprisingly connected and cohesive. It performs with a lovely balance and sort of cleanliness to its handling. The shifter isnt good, but it works well and a shift kit is easy to install. The steering is actually communicative, and is well-weighted with a nice ratio. The engine is charming: revs hard into the limiter and always wants more, with an adorable medium-pitched bellow under throttle. Theres a bit of lag and torque steer, but nothing that detracts from the experience. The handling is as good as the magazines say it is: great turn-in, and puts the power down well coming out of a turn. Brakes are strong and easy to modulate. Youll get mileage in the high 20s even if you drive like a maniac. Base seats, by the way, are fine, or at least not bad. I didnt feel bad about saving the $2k by skipping the Recaros.

    So far I really like the car although I have not received my $300 off the car they promised they would make a payment which I have not got a confirmation of as of yet

  • 1.0 Ecoboost - Fun, cheap, efficient, quick, fun - 2016 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    Fair warning that the Ecoboost version of the Fiesta only comes with a manual transmission. Also consider that the front of the car is very spacious and comfortable, but if you push the front seats all the way back youll have trouble fitting anything other than a child in the back. You can fit people back there if you need to, but youll need to schooch forward. I personally dont like to schooch. Its best to think of the Ecoboost Fiesta as a fun and practical drivers car, but certainly not a family vehicle. This car is amazingly fuel efficient while packing way more punch than ANY Prius. When you need to move, youll move and even be pulled back in your seat just a little bit thanks to that turbo. Unlike a Honda Fit, which is also a fairly zippy car, the engine wont be screaming at you when youre cruising on the highway either. The Fiesta hums at a quiet 2,500 RPM when youre moving at 75 MPH. Now, I said you should look at this as a drivers car because of the manual transmission. A lot of driving enthusiasts are going to mainly have their eyes on a Fiesta ST, but heres the rub. The Ecoboost will get you 45 miles per gallon on the highway, is exceptionally quiet and comfortable and has all the power you could ever need in real world driving. Its a much more practical choice and still quite fun to drive. Heres the big thing, though. The Ecoboost is also much, much cheaper. Theres a bit of a trick to this. My Ecoboost had an MSRP of $18,575. It came fully loaded with the moon roof and comfort package (you cant get certain options such as the touch screen system on the Ecoboost.) I got my car brand new for $15,000 with minimal negotiation. The thing is that a Fiesta ST only comes with a manual transmission, but theyre in demand. In comparison, dealerships cant even find somebody to test drive the Ecoboost, because anyone who actually knows how to drive a manual only has eyes for the ST. If you find an Ecoboost thats already on the lot, the dealership will be desperate to ensure you walk out the door with it. You name your terms and theyll jump through the hoops. The 3 Cylinder Fiesta Ecoboost is an excellent combination of practicality, fun and price. A rare hidden gem that will be difficult to ever find pre-owned because youll be hard pressed to find someone interested in selling theirs. Plus, mechanically its just a neat little car. Lots of clever engineering makes it a unique and interesting choice for car nerds.

    Its a great vehicle with a best price from Huntington Beach Ford.

  • FUN, FUN, FUN - 2016 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    Im 54 years old, and with the ST Im a teenager again. I have owned 50+ cars, and this one is by far the best handling car I have ever owned. If you like small cars that have great handling, accelerate quickly, and get decent gas mileage - this is your car. The Nav. and Sync are easy to use. The Recaro seats hold you in place really well.
