Not the most reliable, cheaply made. Some good features though. There have been multiple recalls on it, one leaving it in the shop for over a week. Weather can affect the way that it drives. Struggles to get up steep hills. Has not gone up a driveway in the snow before.

Ford fiesta is a great car!
Love this car. Ford is a great company with a great service. The car is small, but perfect for my needs. Very comfortable for one person. Great trunk. Very reliable. No outward problems. Would buy this car again and again and again and again and again.

Small but mighty ford fiesta.
There have been issues with the transmission and even after a factory recall, there still seems to be issues. It is a automatic, but is not set up like traditional automatic vehicles. It uses a rod system and I believe that to be the downfall of the vehicle. Mostly operates pretty smoothly. For the size of the car, can haul more than people typically think. Light and sound system are also pretty cool for a small car.

My ford fiesta is a great, compact car with plenty of trunk room.
My 2012 ford fiesta has overall been a good car. I bought it in January of 2016 and have had minimal issues. The issues I have add are the ac going out and problems with the transmission. When the transmission was acting up, the car felt very jumpy when you would start and stop.

My first and perfect college car.
I drive a silver 2012 ford fiesta se. As a college student, this car is really great on gas like roughly $20 a week to keep it at a full tank. Even though it is a hatchback, it is a small car especially for the back seat. I enjoy the led lighting inside and the heated seats for the driver and passenger side. It has 5 cup holders - 3 in the middle and 1 on the driver and passenger side door.

Red is a perfect color and ford is a brand I highly recommend to all.
It is 4 door, red, standard and suits me fine. Never had any issues because I maintain it well. Heated seats for the winter months. Ya comfortable and gets great gas mileage. Handles well through all types of weather in Iowa. I love it and enjoy having a standard to keep me alert at all times.

My fiesta, first lease to own.
Decent car, okay acceleration, good gas mileage. So far no major issues or maintenance has been needed. The electric cooling fan did need to be replaced but that was cheap and easy enough to do in my driveway. Good commuter car and daily driver for a couple or single individual. It feels fairly spacious inside, however there's no room for car seats for children, and tall people don't fit comfortably in the backseat. It is reliable, and a good economical option for a newer commuter car.

My ford fiesta reviews and opinions.
My car is very reliable as I have had it for many years but I have had non stop issues with the transmission and it constantly makes noise. It feels as if my car is stick instead of standard as it jerks when I put on the gas when stopped. It is a very basic car no special features like cruise control, heated seats, car starter or sunroof. But other than that I do love my car.

Ford fiesta review summarized.
My ford fiesta does great on gas, has Bluetooth, and handles winter well. The trunk is very spacious and is covered so nobody can look inside the trunk from the back window. However, it does not have cruise control, power seats, or much room in the backseat. And I recently learned it has a dual clutch transmission and at least 2 recalls on it.
Kelly B
on May 22, 2021
Fiesta advantages and disadvantages.
Transmission is having problems along with the breaks other than that it is a wonderful car great on gas and the Bluetooth feature of the radio is the best part of the car. It has interior lights that you can change different colors. Another disadvantage is how much of a small space you have. This is not a family car way to small for a family but perfect for a one or two persons.
Dominique W
on April 22, 2021
I love the Bluetooth and heated seats.
It is a great car. Great on gas, radio is great. I love that it has Bluetooth and heated seats save my life. I actually haven't had any issues with this car mechanically or anything. I also drive 800 miles in one week every week. I had a recall on it once for my lights and they fixed it right away. I think it is perfect for new drivers and anyone who likes a car instead of an SUV.
Jessica P
on April 4, 2021
Overall, nice car. Beware transmission issues in all fiestas though.
My car has transmission issues. It jumps and shudders sometimes. It is due to the electric transmission. I have had it fixed, but it still is doing it. Otherwise I like my car. It drives smoothly, normally. Good gas mileage. It is comfortable. Has a good truck size for a hatchback.
Juan F

My review on ford focus on 2020.
Cheap and nice, runs good. I like it, buy it right now. No problems at all, fuel is very good consuming. The performance is fine, the features are excellent, the reliability is good and nice, I want to buy one more for my wife and mother, I think this is too much to ask.
Shekinah J
on March 29, 2021
Mean green ford fiesta that is sometimes nice.
The year has major transmission issues. There are shorts in several fuses like the right window and now all charge ports. The car itself is fun and colorful and rides well. My favorite car I've ever had. It sits comfortably but it's a tight fit for any adults that may ride in the back seat. I love the hatchback trunk! My seatbelt on drivers side broke after only a couple months. I did buy this used so it may not be like this for everyone.

A compact starter car that is easy to afford.
My car Is Definitely a starter car, not the smoothest or most luxurious but it gets the job done. The exterior is pretty average and nothing special but it is a very compact car. The car is not very expensive and its features are a little out of date but the car is fine. The engine is pretty torque heavy and the brake is not very sensitive. The car is also very low riding so traffic bumps can be a problem.

Very great on gas small car.
Very good car, I have a five speed and it does cold stall, that is the only problem I have and I am working on getting it fixed. It is very good on gas, the inside of the car is very nice. I have had no other problems with the car besides the stalling out for no reason.

Great Reliable Vehicle with Excellent Gas Mileage
Been a reliable car for the last few years. Only have had an issue with the A/C after 190,000 miles. The seats are comfortable and offers a smooth ride. The gas mileage is great. The Fiesta looks sharps and handles well. It has Sirius XM radio, mp3 player jack, standard radio, CD player, cruise, etc. It's a modern looking car.

Ford fiesta: compact and efficient.
The Ford fiesta is a small, compact car making it easy to find and fit into parking spots and maneuvering in traffic. It runs very smooth, although due to how it is made, the engine sometimes stalls a bit (happens very rarely though). It is very efficient on gas and has up to date features.
Ashley W
on March 14, 2021
Really great gas mileage but has some transmission issues.
I love the gas mileage and look of my car. However, I do not like the transmission issues that these cars have had even though they are covered under an extended warranty. I also do not like that my car's A/C went out at about 50,000 miles and it is very expensive to fix.
Sarah V

My reliable Ford fiesta!!
My Ford fiesta is a very reliable car. I really only go to work and back home unless I have something else to do after work. Very comfortable. Very affordable as far as maintenance. I have had to get a couple things replaced but other than that it is the best car I have ever had.

My fiesta is a little buggy with a power punch.
My vehicle seems to be pretty much reliable. It is a ford brand so I think it lasts pretty well. It is easy to drive but it does sit low. It does not have the best traction for the winter but it does have good startup power. The features are simple to use but not the most high tech.
Jennifer B

Poor quality parts and your car will be in the shop a lot
There are a lot of recalls and I have had the car in the shop to have them fixed more than once. This is my first and last Ford. One positive is that it gets great mileage.
Cheryl A
on February 24, 2021
Great gas mileage, especially in town.
Not bad for a relatively small car. Does not have many bells and whistles. Window control panel regularly tries to pop out or up. Passenger front window only goes halfway down. Rear does not always close completely. Right turn signal randomly works but only when it is not in the shop so haven't found cause. All small annoyances so far. Bought because needed lightweight vehicle to tow behind RV.
Trevor G

It is a fun, small car. Need for speed.
It's a compact fun car. It has good miles. The car has good pick up. I love the color I picked out. It is on the small side but it is just me so it does not bother me. I haven't had many problems with the car either. It been reliable. I do like the ford brand a lot.
Janet M
on February 16, 2021
Great on gas and handles very well in snow.
What I not like is it is not a smooth ride. But great on gas. Other than that I do like the car. I wish it had more options that what I do have.
Danielle C

It's a good car, but could be better
I really like the shape and size of my Fiesta, the compactness of it really makes parking easier. Also, the gas mileage is pretty good. Other than that, there's a lot wrong with it. The computer system that keeps all the electric controls going has been glitching badly. There was a period of time where the dealership had my car in the shop for a couple of weeks, driving it around and trying to find the issue. Also, the way the back of the car is shaped makes it very difficult to see out the back window.
Timothy M

Ford Fiesta: Reliable And Affordable.
The 2012 Ford Fiesta is pretty good on gas. The engine is pretty small though so it might have some trouble on hills. Most of my commute is highway driving though so once you're cruising, it's not an issue. I'm around 80,000 miles and a fan did break in the AC unit, which was a pricey fix though.
Lynn R
on February 12, 2021
Not the best, but it gets me places.
I got this car from a shop a few minutes away from my house. It was originally totaled but fixed up. It seems like I am always having an issue with it, I am not sure if it is because it was totaled or ford cars just are not great. I have had a ton of recalls on the car multiple times in the past three years that I have had it. I have also put over $1,200 on repairs since I got the car. It gets me around places but I plan on getting rid of it soon.

It's a stick shift so if you don't know how to drive it, don't ask to learn. Very light but low Center of Gravity so stable in windy conditions

It was very clean & drove smoothly.
I had a broken windshield and the front was coming apart. It drove nicely. Brakes were fine. It had a charger port and Bluetooth connection. The sits were tan and very comfortable. The car was small but the inside was pretty big. I also had double mirrors on both sides so I can see my blind spots.
Sharon C

2012 ford fiesta se review.
Great compact car overall gets about 40 mpg and handles better than most small cars. Has alot more space then you would think for its size. The only drawback is it has the dual clutch transmission which ford did issue a TCM update program for. Overall great car to drive for a daily driver.
julia J

Ford fiesta se what a great car if it does not sit for over a year.
The car sat for over a year after an accident. There are many problems we are working out. Idle is high. Build up in the reserve overflow tank. Needed an alignment and new tires. All in all it was in bad shape. The windshield has a chip we had fixed.

It is a small car that gets me to where I am going and the gas mileage is superb.
The only problem I had with this particular was a national recall on a portion of the transmission. It was easily fixed and no other problems have arose. It has been a reliable vehicle. It has great gas mileage and gets superb gas mileage on the highway.

Ford fiesta with limited edition white leather interior.
I am the owner of a 2012 ford fiesta and I have had it for 4 years. Since having it, I have found that because it is an automatic transmission, my car has a terrible hesitation. Overall, my car is reliable to get from point a to point b, the interior is limited edition white leather with the addition of interior lighting of different luscious colors. My car is comfortable when going on road trips, but I would not say it is ideal for a great amount of persons.

Great reliable car except for the one thing.
The air conditioner has never properly worked, it is cost several hundred dollars every summer to “troubleshoot” and repair the problem, and then the exact same thing happens again. I have repeatedly asked that they just replace the entire system and they always refuse, they will not guarantee their work through when I insist.
James H
on January 12, 2021
Good the bad and the ugly.
Not many huge issues but a lot of electrical sensors warning lights and the big was the transmission control module but covered free and now all is well. Just a lot of wasted time. The best thing is the incredible gas mileage got from Fresno to Vacaville ca to Tulare on 20 bucks in gas @2.459/gal. I believe 42-43 mpg.
Violet B
on January 10, 2021
People should not be put off by the small size of the car. It is a good car, at a good price.
My vehicle offers all the qualities I was looking for: its compact size makes it easy to park, because at the time I purchased the car I lived in the city where parking is difficult; it has great gas mileage; it is quite sturdy, something I learned the hard way from a fender bender- my car had no damage but the other car did; it has a lot of trunk space for such a tiny car. My one dislike about the car is that there is no leg room in the back seat, and I knew that would be an issue when I bought a compact car, but passengers do complain about it. My one complaint about the car is the amount of recalls I have had to address with at the dealership.
Tabitha M

Getting car back!
This Ford Fiesta 2012 is the biggest piece of garbage. There has been a known issue with the transmission. We had it replaced. Now there is a recall on a transmission module .We brought the car in May 01 2019, it is now Dec. 21 2019 we still don't have the part. The excuse at first was covid then it was the part isn't made anymore so a new supplier had to be found. We were told the part would be in by Sept. Then Dec. Now Jan.2021. The car is worth $5000.00 so far Ford has paid $6990.00 in car rental fees. We don't want to be in a rental. A couple more months and Ford will have paid $10,000.00 in fees. It doesn't take a genius to do the math. I will never again buy a Ford vehicle with this kind of after market service!
Kathy M

Nice, small, 4-door vehicle.
I have had lots of problems out of my cars transmission. The car does not have a transmission like any other car that I have had in the past. Thankfully, the dealership has a powertrain warranty for life on the car so they have been able to fix it each time without charge!
Liz H
on December 25, 2020
Gets amazing gas mileage!
My favorite part of this vehicle is its gas mileage! Easily gets 40+mpg on the highway. Being a small car, it is very easy to maneuver. My least favorite aspect of this car are the seats. They are not the most comfortable for long trips. Another sacrifice of having a very compact car, is it does not have center console storage. Other than that, it is been a great, reliable car.

Would not recommend buying this car.
Overall, I am not pleased with my car. The air and heat has broken, the radio has broken, and I feel like I have something new wrong with it every week. For example, I have to get it looked at tomorrow because something is wrong with the front end. As far as comfort goes, it is small however the trunk is a pretty good size. It is also good on gas. You can feel everything in the road when you drive it as well as being able to tell if someone other than yourself is in your car if they weigh more than 80 pounds when you drive it.
Sara J
on December 9, 2020
Car has no interesting details or any that stand out.
Ongoing transmission failure that manufacturer is aware of but will not stand behind. Car is only partially reliable because of this. Good on mileage and small enough to fit in today's parking spaces. Could use more trunk space and the bar in the trunk reduces overall space.
Ariel M
on November 30, 2020
One important thing you should know it'd good on gas.
Well the problems I am having is that my radio shuts off when it wants too the performance of the car is good reliability it gets me where I need to be the comfort is okay the backseat just needs more legroom and the features I love it.

The side mirrors has extra blind spot mirrors to help the driver.

Great compact car for getting around.
It is a great car. Love the size and the room. Transmission has had issues and we've needed to replace it but other than that it has been great. Love the hatchback and the compartments you can buy for the trunk. Air conditioning had some issues where it wouldn't blast cold air if the car was stopped but one stop to the mechanic and it was fixed.
Angie F
on November 23, 2020
Comfortable and compact. Large windows interior.
Is ok, but problems with the design itself and transmissions. The air con does not work well, but the seat warmer warms pretty fast in cold winters, so I like that a lot. It is a fun little car to drive. Large hatch, great to transport many groceries and large pieces of furniture. I also like that it has an armrest.
Sky Y

Small and wonderful on gas mileage. Super comfy for long drives and smooth.
Wonderful car for commuting back and forth to work. Even on the bumpy roads, the ride is smooth. My husband drives back and forth to drill and he is able to stuff all of his gear in this car comfortably. The high pressure ac hose went out but rolling down the windows was good enough for us. I will be driving this car more than my own when he deploys overseas since it is a smaller vehicle and can whip in and out of traffic when it starts to get busy after work downtown. I will definitely be sad when we will have to get a bigger vehicle when we start having kids.

Great car for you and your family it's very comfortable for a good road trip.
The 2012 ford fiesta ranks in the middle of the subcompact car class. It offers sporty handling and a straightforward infotainment system, but this small car is held back by its tight rear seats, small cargo hold, and lack of driver assistance features. Yes, the 2012 fiesta is a good used subcompact car. Its lithe handling makes it fun to drive, and the fiesta muscular engine helps this ford accelerate swiftly. It comes in sedan and hatchback body types, and it has a well-built cabin. However, its shortage of passenger space, cargo room, and safety features prevent it from ranking higher.
Ashley M

Good Gas Mileage and easy to drive car

Fiesta ford.. Why you should get it and the great benefits of it.
It is easy to drive and only takes 16$ to fill it up. The lock is in a weird place but it is fine. Also the car is for 4-5 people. It is a great starter car it is very reliable and easy to manage. I recommend this car for teens and young adults with no children. I do not really see this model anymore which is very good.

My car is a 2012 ford fiesta. It has four doors and is a manual.
My car is grey for driving to work and small trips here and there. It is a manual and I love how easy shifting is. It has the sync installed in the car and it works decently. The lights are still very good for it being a 2012 car. There has been no serious issues with the car just some little wear and tear here and there. Overall, I love my car.

Fantastic fun fiesta review.
I really love my fiesta. It was fantastic on gas and was reliable to get around it and travel for work. It was good in the snow and rain. I loved the small size of the car but it felt like I had so much room in the back as well as trunk space. The seats were pretty comfy and my dog loved seating in the car as well.

My vehicle is a great car for getting to point a to point b.
It's great on mileage, but has engine problems the sensor lights needs work and it sometimes stops during traffic. However, if it was new and not pre-owned, then it be a an amazing car to drive the inside can be comfortable and the car is easy to handle and very Smooth when running good.

Runs great and worth every penny.
Car is reliable, good on gas, it has a standard transmission. The only issue I have had is the door locks. The doors would not close. I took a compression spring and put it in the lock mechanism and it works like a champ. No problems with doors after a 2.98 repair.

Reason to not buy a Ford Fiesta
Not really enough room to have a rear facing infant seat unless you are a very short person. Not a lot of get up and go have to make sure there is plenty of room to be able to pull out into traffic. A lot of transmission shudder especially on take off. Not a lot of cargo space can barely get a child stroller in trunk
Nicole J

A small car that is little in stature but has good start up.
My car is good and reliable but it is a little older so some are starting to break down the only thing is that it is small so you have to be careful in icy weather. It ford cars are also reliable brands that have American parts that are cheaper than the rest.

It is a stick shift. And good on gas.
Brakes go out very often, recently had to replace the computer of the car which was very expensive and very inconvenient. It kind of putters when in first gear and sometimes Boge out. But is really good on gas and overall performance is really good besides the computer going out it has been a low maintenance car.

It is a good car works well.
It is good and reliable, but has its issues. Sometimes it overheats and recently I had to change the battery and starter. Other than that it works fine everything else is not an issues.

Great on gas, small compact car.
It's a small car and it's not really car seat friendly also there are no door locks on the doors, and the cup holders are not.In the most convenient places. There is only one arm rest. Adults cannot really sit comfortably in the back seat the trunk has a decent amount of room in it. But all. In all it's a nice car and it's fantastic on gas.
Lacey G

Ford fiesta: good inexpensive starter car.
My vehicle is very compact but has plenty of room in the trunk, not much space in the back seats. It drives fine for the price point and I think it looks good for the price point as well. The buttons on the center console are placed in strange places but it can be learned easily. The car rides fairly low but not too low that I feel that my car is in danger of scraping the bottom of my car on anything. My ac unit does not quite work properly but that is most likely just my car.

Great MPG, but transmission is faulty and dangerous! Don't buy!
It's great on gas, I can go two weeks between fill ups. The transmission in this car is dangerous though. When you push the gas you'll never know what the car will do. Sometimes it's smooth other times is will lurch forward with a jump. Crazy car. Wouldn't get it again.

Great SUV for a family without being too big.
The ford flex is great for a family. Our family of 5 fits comfortably even with 2 car seats. We've taken many trips and it has not failed us yet. We have not experienced any huge issues. The third row can be folded down for more storage. After 8 years the electrical system is not working properly, cannot charge phone or sync our phone to the car. It is not very high tech but simple and reliable.

The back door child lock does not work properly, there’s been a recall on this issue. It is super great for parking because of its size. It is seems to have a engine problem it vibrates when I drive it sometimes. Even though it has 4 doors the back is super tight.

It's fuel efficient. I drive from Peoria to Chandler for work and still spend less than $100 on gas a month.
I like the fuel efficiency. I don't like the mechanical problems I've had with it although that could be just from buying it from a used car place. But it gets me from Point a to point b.

Ford fiesta: the little car that can!
There are many pros and cons to the 2012 ford fiesta. Some of the things that I love about it are that it is amazing on gas, it is super cheap to fill it up. Another thing is that because of the size it is super easy to park anywhere. However, with that being said the size in the interior is very tiny and I have trouble fitting everyone I need to inside of it.

For a 2012 its advance in technology is very good.
Overall it is a good hatchback. However if you are of the larger body type then you will have difficulty maneuvering in and out of this vehicle. It is comfortable overall. Reliability is good overall. Performance is not bad. I will say we have been having problems with the computer of this vehicle, which has become a headache. We are currently experiencing problems with the fuel of some kind. When we put fuel in it is hesitant to start.

Don't buy a Ford Fiesta; waste of money
The 2012 Ford Fiesta is too small. The hatchback is hideous. Also the transmission on half of the Ford Fiestas has a recall. I personally have had to take mine into the shop because of the transmission. I would say the only decent thing about the Ford Fiesta is the gas mileage and the price. New its under 20,000.

Red 2012 ford fiesta se hatchback.
The ford fiesta gets excellent gas mileage, both on the highway and in the city. It is an excellent car for my small household of two. However, it has had several recalls throughout the years, but has proven to be a reliable car. The only times that I consider trading it in is after a long trip, in which I wish that I had more space for passengers and suitcases.

Great, reliable vehicle with good gas mileage.
This is a very reliable car. I bought it pre-owned a few years ago. The only problem I have had with this car is that there is a recall on the transmission. I got the transmission replaced for free and have not had a problem since. It is very comfortable and easy to drive, however it is on the small side. There is not a lot of room.

Overall a fair hatchback. I would recommend this vehicle on a moderate level.
Overall it is a nice hatchback. I previously owned a similar hatchback, which I prefer over the fiesta. Granted the fiesta is over 8 years old, it has some problems with the computer that are making the performance less than good. It's good on gas and has a small gas tank, so it does not drain the pocketbook.

Great for single people or small families
To me this overall is a decent car, it gets decent mileage, highway and city, it's got seating for five, decent truck space and the back seats fold forward for more room. Which is great especially if you get a ton of groceries or small furniture , and since it's not a huge car it fits well into small parking spaces and good for parallel parking. The few issues I have are the seating in the back doesn't leave much leg room so if your tall or you have tall people sitting in the front there is little room to sit comfortably and the same goes for back seat seating, if you have kids or small adults there's room but three large adults in the back leaves it feeling cramp. I think if your single or have one or two kids this is a great car but for a full family or carpooling not so much.

Perfect first car or small family car.
I love my ford fiesta. The only problems I have had with it is my Bluetooth and my ac not working. It has amazing seat heaters for the winter. The trunk had plenty of room for your groceries and it is perfect for a small family or for a first car. My radio setup is amazing and easy to use.

My ford fiesta and what I think about it.
The car itself it is good but it is just made for city. When I drive 70 miles per hours I feel like the bodywork is going to fall. It is comfortable is you are looking for a small city car with a small engine and fuel economy. That's why I bought it because I wanted to save money on gas.

Very economic car and nice
I love it. It's economic, good on gas, roomy. The engine makes a lot of noise - that's my only complaint

The color is called Lime Squeeze. Yes, it is kind of obnoxious but I don't care.
It is tiny, lime green, and gets great gas mileage. I love it. It has everything I need.

It is great on gas. It gets me about 38 mpg. That's amazing for a non hybrid type of a car
I like that it is GREAT on gas. It also looks great as it is a hatchback design. I don't like that I've had some issues with my breaks and that it is starting to make sounds when I start it.

2012 fiesta review. Small but functional, great car.
It's a small car, but feels more roomy than it actually is. It's been an excellent car, nothing needed to be done more than normal routine maintenance. Gets about 30 to 36 miles to the gallon, depending on type of gas. Very comfortable. Does have a little bit of road noise probably because it's so low to the ground, but that's to be expected. Has good performance for such a small car. Very good pick up.
