  • Small surprise, makes the Fit feel crass - 2011 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    I wanted something more refined but still fun, so traded my Fit Sport for a 2008 Accord EX Coupe when they came out. After 2 1/2 years I decided I really didnt like bigger cars, but didnt want to give up the comfort and features Im used to. The Fiesta SES fits the bill perfectly. Its amazingly refined for a small car. Its QUIETER than my Accord was. It also has the magic mix of fun and frugal. In my 5-speed, its not fast in hard numbers, but always feels willing and able, never slow, and the engine stays smooth when revved hard. Handling is excellent. I was surprised by the grip and agility this car has, along with feel-some steering. Interior lighting package is really cool.

  • Great Purchase - 2011 Ford Fiesta

    Weve owned this car for 2 weeks now, and it has been a pleasure to drive. Were used to driving a Mazda Miata manual shift, and while the Fiesta is not a sports car, it comes real close to having a sports car experience. And were amazed at how quiet the cabin is, even driving next to trailer trucks in heavy traffic.

  • After 1 week - 2011 Ford Fiesta

    We purchased this vehicle "off the lot" a little more than a week ago and have been quite pleased thus far. The ride is exceptional. This car is fun to drive. This is an excellent 2nd vehicle for getting back and forth to work. After one week, the vehicle got 32 MPG in a suburban commuter setting.

  • Outstanding! - 2011 Ford Fiesta

    SES Hatchback is amazing. Handling is a dream with plenty of power and stopping. Sync system and audio are simply great. Ford has hit a real grand slam with this. I hope a lot of people buy this car as I feel that they really have done it right. This is truly the Fit beater.

    Car handles well on curves. Accelerates nicely but needs a little more oomph. Gearing is a little awkward, the dual clutch transmission is a little jumpy going from first to second then down to first gear as if its trying to find the right gear ratio at speed. Emergency braking is excellent.

  • Wow - 2011 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    Thank you Ford! The Fiesta set a new standard for this segment. The wife and I were just looking for whats out there (planning to buy in 2011). We found the Fiesta and I have to say. this car sells its self. Its nimble yet drives like a larger car. We got the 6 speed twin clutch automatic. With the 6 speed and 1.6l 4 together work wonderfully. We got the car in Indio, California and it gets very hot there (130s). So A/C is a must. Even with my wife 3 kid (5, 8, 14 yrs) and myself the A/c blasting the Fiesta is very eager the please. A must drive and youll experience this car yourself. Two thumbs up and a big smile!

  • New Fiesta Great Value - 2011 Ford Fiesta
    By -

    Ive had it almost six days and 600 miles.Very impressive little car. Price was cheap,but nothing else. Quiet, firm but not harsh ride. Handles very well. Engine is very smooth and quiet, likes to rev. Compared to my old Toyota Matrix, this is at least a class better in refinement and extras. The not so good, no center arm rest, not much in side storage. Back seat leg room is tight, but has good headroom and good comfort. Speedometer is like 4-5 mph off. Ford says, so what. Workmanship and A/C better than the Matrix. The bar has been raised in this class by a lot. Lots of little extras, like lighted power window switches and map lights in the back seat. Only the price is cheap.Solid.

    Was intending to by a honda fit but the fiesta was way more fun to drive.Yes it does not have as much room. But it makes up for that by the way it handles and drives. I have been driving this car to work everyday and I have to say I am very impressed with what Ford has done.
