  Great value! - 2017 Ford Fiesta
  By Lindsey B. - April 17 - 3:24 pm

  This car is the perfect car for anyone that is a first-time buyer, first-time driver, someone looking to stretch a buck at the dealer, or someone that (like me) drives great distances to get to work. From the moment I got this car Ive loved nearly everything about it. The dealership was superb, the pricing was fantastic, the car runs like a dream, and Im getting 3mpg OVER what the manufacturer says (Im averaging about 40mpg). The one problem Ive had is with the Bluetooth randomly disconnecting, but its easy enough to fix so it doesnt bother me much. Get the cold weather package!

  The death of the Manual Trans is only a rumor - 2017 Ford Fiesta
  By Jeff Hurckes - November 30 - 8:25 pm

  This vehicle is downright amazing for a commuter car that can go out onto the track and still have fun. Yes, it still has that cheap car build quality issues, such as road noise, but it has it where it counts. Out-corners and out-brakes most anything on the road, and acceleration is nothing to shake a stick at either.

  What could have been.....needs improved! - 2017 Ford Fiesta
  By Alvin - November 23 - 7:47 am

  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 couldnt 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.

  Do some real research before buying the Fiesta. - 2017 Ford Fiesta
  By M Smith - June 18 - 11:08 pm

  BEWARE! extremely poor build quality. Made in Mexico. I really want to like this car with its 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 didnt happen while it was here, so we cant/ wont fix anything.) he AC blows cold/ hot randomly and without pattern.

  The ideal car for someone with vertigo - 2017 Ford Fiesta
  By Josh - November 11 - 7:11 am

  I get motion sick very easily. Therefore, the smaller the car with a less "floaty" ride and a stick shift is ideal. I researched the engine and transmission options on the 2017 Fiesta heavily, and concluded going with the long-running 1.6L 120hp motor and 5 speed manual was the most reliable option. The engine is sufficient for power and the transmission is smooth and easy on the left leg. Gas mileage has been better than anticipated (but again, because of vertigo, I drive slow). I have averaged 37mpg on most fill-ups (worst has been 33 so far) and got as high as 45mpg on a long highway trip in flat Illinois at 65mph the whole way. The Ford Sync system is blah (at least the basic version I have) but usable at least (most importantly, bluetooth from the phone works 99% of the time the first time). The ambient lighting I have appreciated more than I thought I would, especially at night, when its really nice to be able to see your feet/the floorboards when getting in and out of the car. So far, no issues here, but Ive only owned it about a month and put 2k on it already. If any significant issues creep up, Ill buy the extended warranty at the 3 year/36k mark (when the bumper-to-bumper warranty ends). It is surprisingly inexpensive (about $1k for 6 year/100k coverage). I only drive a lot during the summer though. School year driving is average. Overall, I would recommend this car to another basic, conservative driver like me.

  Worst car Ive drove - 2017 Ford Fiesta
  By Ilqar Ilyasov - April 27 - 7:43 am

  If you decide to buy one you should buy a pack of earbuds :)) After hurricane hurvey insurance company offered us a fiesta from hertz. Im glad that Im not the owner. On the highway the noise really hurts your ears. Its unendurable. This is one of those cars that I would refuse even if it was given to me for free. I can think of only one thing about this car that didnt suck that is the mpg :) 35,6
