2011 Ford Fiesta Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Great gas mileage, reliable, sporty looking, easy to drive. Great car for computing or to run errands in. Large capacity trunk and takes a lot of abuse for a little car. The price was very reasonable and has had no large dollar issues.

The pros of my Ford Fiesta is excellent gas mileage. Another pro of my ford fiesta is the air-conditioning gets cold fast and blasts well. The last pro is the color of my car and the color of the interior.

It is small enough that it is easy to find a place to park and gets really good gas mileage. It is easy to handle. It has enough room on the inside to fit pretty much all you need To carry with you in a car.

The gas mileage is very good. I get roughly 40 miles to the gallon on the highway, and it costs only $25 to fill the entire tank if gas prices are high. I have gotten it down under $20 if gas finds its way under $2/gallon. It'll only use about 3/4 of a tank of gas to go from Cincinnati to Chicago, which is a little under a 5 hour drive. The trunk also has a lot of space, despite its small size. All of the interior functions are easy to use.

It is very economical to drive, fun to drive, fits almost anywhere and has been extremely cheap to maintain with no major repair in almost 9 years. I would buy one again if they still made them. It is cute.

Great gas mileage, heated seats, lighted cup holders, fun color, moonroof, CD player, cruise control, sporty looking decent price range good warranty package is great electric windows and seats rides very smoothly.

Great gas mileage both in city and on highway. It has many great accessories including a moonroof heated leather seats that are electric. It has cruise control, power windows push button start with safety features that car cannot be started if key is not in near vicinity of it. It also has lighted cup holders that can change seven different colors.

Good on gas easy to drive have never had in shop except for routine maintenance. Nothing else to say except I would repurchase. I like the color of my car. It is easy to park. Has a lot of legroom.

Does not have a big get up and go, Does not maintain speed when climbing hills and air conditioner is on. It sits very low and is difficult to get in and out when you are middle age. Great sitting for someone in 20's - 40's but would like something higher as get older.

The first con of my Ford Fiesta the size, I went on a road trip recently and finding comfortable sleeping arrangements was difficult. Another con of my Ford Fiesta is sometimes when you press on the gas it takes a min to get going. I have taken it to the shop and the car guy said nothing was wrong.

It is very hard to change the oil. It hydroplanes very easily because it is so light. It does not have a temperature gauge so you cannot tell if it running hot or not. The throttle control module acts up regularly.

The car is small, so if you plan on bringing people for a long drive, those in the back seat may not enjoy the drive too much. The front seats have a lot of room, so you can always slide them up to equal space out, and then it is not bad at all. The front seats have no armrest, so if you like to lay your arm on something while driving, you'll have to get used to doing without. Also, the windows are roll-down. It is not bad unless you want all of them down in the middle of the drive; then you have to lean over to pull them down yourself. Also, the sound quality of the stereo system is not great. Of course, you can always upgrade, but the speakers blow out if you turn up the volume enough.

Extreme engine noise. It sounds like a lawn mower. Also the 6 speed auto shift can be very hesitant. It was a learning curve to learn how to accelerate and anticipate the hesitation. It is too small for more than a family of one to use on a regular basis.

Ford has had some mechanical issues with their transmission I have had mine in once for a transmission modular repair and they have class action suit against them at this time so that is something to keep in mind when deciding on making a purchase.

Ford is notorious for transmission problems in certain models and years including the fiesta and fusion they currently have a class action suit against the ford motor company I have had to have my transmission module replaced once so far at no cost luckily because cars still under warranty.

Paint on trim is cracking and fading due to hot sun. Seal around windows is rotting and the rubber around doors has fallen off I had to reglue. I think they need to work on this problem never happened to me with previously owned cars.
