Ford fiesta - good for my needs, good for my wallet.
I love my ford fiesta. It is the perfect size for me as a single woman. Not as great if I have multiple passengers in the car, as the backseat is not too spacious. Love the Bluetooth capabilities. And it gets great gas mileage on my 10 gallon tank, I am only filling up once every two weeks.

Reliable, convenient, small.
I love my fiesta. Very reliable, good fuel economy. The Bluetooth system/interactive screen works well. However, it is quite small with minimal storage space. The trunk does not fit much and the back seat is not comfortable for taller passengers. It is ideal for me commuting but not for road trips.

Great gas mileage. Good software components.
Gas mileage is great. I can drive for close to four hours and only half of my tank has been used. I can pack most of my belongings going to and from college without a problem. However, the only problem that I have for my vehicle would be the limited amount of space for people allowed.

Wonderful performance of the ford fiesta
The fiesta is incredibly reliable, I've had this car for 5 years, and it has always run perfectly me with little to no problems. It is comfortable and great for long and short car rides. The performance is amazing and it drives wonderfully. There is a lot of room and depending on your model it comes with a lot of features including a touch screen display and Bluetooth connectivity

2014 ford fiesta 4 door hatchback.
I have had no problems with my car I love it very dependable... It was a lemon but after a new transmission was put in I purchased it. Probably not a great car for Wisconsin winters but I put snow tires on and it is fine. I am happy with my purchase I have just had to do regular maintenance on it for the last 2 years.

For a commuter car this one has great value. The MPG is outstanding.
Like the Miles per gallon. Like the color. Like the style.
accountCircle Marcia B
My car is compact and small. It is efficient on gas. All in all is a great car!
I have had no problems with my car! I love it. I have never had to fix anything. There was a recall that I had down a year ago but that was about it and that was free. All in all it has been a great car! I have used it all throughout college and commuting home and to work. I feel safe driving it.

My car is rare since it wasn't popular and they do not make them anymore.
It has overheating problems at only 75000 miles. Poor fuel economy for a manual. I blew my head gasket even with routine oil changes and maintenance before 75000 miles. Has no get up and go. Next to no room in the back seats. Very poor visibility because of the rear seats.

The Ford fiesta to know if transmission is fix.
The Ford fiesta has shredding problems with the tranny. The transmission has been work on, but now I am back at the shifting hard hesitating taking off. Would you stop and take off and go you have to let off the gas and press on the gas again and suddenly takes off. At 25, 000 miles the booster cylinder went out the drive belt frayed and should of been good until 60000 miles. When your taking off the car doesn't want to go and when your going taking off has a hesitation. The reverse has a slipping in reverse and the vehicle I don't trust drying this vehicle out of town.

I really hate this vehicle. I've had brakes, CV joint, fan replaced and now it doesnt start after fueling up. Windshield wipers dont work properly, rubber trim coming off , paint corrosion to my hood. I do not recommend this car to anyone.
accountCircle Gaz S
Ford is not good enough anymore.
Too many recalls from the doors, handles, transmission, brakes, shocks, windshield wipers, etc. Battery dies very quickly. Cheaply made. Taken to the dealership too many times and this is despite regular servicing every 5000 miles. I do not trust ford cars now.
accountCircle phil
Seemed to fall apart after 50,000 miles.
Ran fine for the first 50 k or so then it seemed to fall apart. Spent money on a new alternator and battery. Then the car wouldn't start. Dealer told me they replaced the clutch, transmission module. Spent weeks in the shop. Ford factory couldn't eve fix the problem it seemed. Finally got it back from the dealer and it finally started reliably. NOW the radio won't turn off and had to pull the fuse.radio dash back lights seem to be staying on even after the car is turned off. I'm sick of this car.

White ford fiesta se that shutters.
It has transmission problems too soon. There has been a few recalls. And it does not work with newer phones. When you fill up the tank the car shutters and shakes when you turn it back on. It does not take a lot to fill up though so that is good. Overall I wouldn’t recommend.
accountCircle Kaelyn G on June 11, 2021
Great features, bad mechanics.
Transmission has issues even after being replaced. Handles and window cranks are really cheap. Bluetooth is great. It has pretty decent get up and go for such a small car. Turning radius is great. I love that the seats fold down in the hatchback version.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Michael N.

It gets Good Gas Mileage, It is Easy to clean and cheap to maintain (tires, oil filter, etc.). It has a USB hook up, Auxiliary port, 12V port, and Bluetooth technology. It comes with Ford Sync technology. It tells you when tires are low, or oil needs to be changed.

likeFilled Debra C.

My Fiesta is a fun car to drive. It has good pickup and although it is a manual it has a 5 speed engine and front wheel drive that propels me up hills effortlessly. The colored, changeable indoor floor lights are festive and fun at night.

likeFilled Amanda L.

The pros are: its small and compact. Perfect for driving on the highway. It has Bluetooth as well as a aux cord. It is very manageable. Very comfortable. Does not use a lot of gas. Does not have a gas cap. Under compartment for storage.

likeFilled Laurel G.

The pros are that the car does amazingly well on gas! It goes for many miles without needing a fill up and even when it does, I can fill up the car with a minimum amount of money which is super helpful!

likeFilled Sara M.

Fuel efficient, phone call capabilities, sync services, sport mode to save on gas allowing driver to shift the gears, Bluetooth capability. Comfortable fabric seating. Lots of room in the vehicle for five people. Colored lights within vehicle that can be changed. Spacious console and glove compartment.

likeFilled Christina M.

You will get excellent gas mileage with this car. Depending on gas prices at the time it never takes me more than $20 to fill my tank. It is a small car so it fits in even the smallest parking spaces and even though it is a smaller vehicle there is still plenty of trunk space.

likeFilled Jordan G.

It is small and compact which makes the turning radius phenomenal. There are very few blind spots. It is simple to learn the controls and the car comes in pretty unique colors. It makes a wonderful first time car for a young teenager.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Michael N.

This vehicle is small. Tall people might be cramped. There is barely enough room in the rear for a car seat. This car also does not block out all of the road noise around it. The trunk is also not very big.

dislikeFilled Debra C.

This car in wonderful in a lot of ways but I needed to buy snow tires as I live in a rural area and had a hard time in the snow getting up my own driveway. Even with the front wheel drive I had a difficult time. The car is small and light so not perfect in the winter.

dislikeFilled Amanda L.

The cons are: You MUST turn everything off otherwise your battery will die instantly. Can't even keep your automatic lights on. The interior is cloth and black so it is easy to get dirty. When key fob doesn't work, it is very hard. To open. The door.

dislikeFilled Laurel G.

The cons are that the car door latches do not latch as they should. It happens to be a recall with the manufacturer. So luckily it is not the fault of the driver but it is still a drawback for having the car as the main vehicle.

dislikeFilled Sara M.

Not heated seating. Seats must be adjusted manually. Older model does not provide GPS capabilities. Callers have difficulty hearing me when I make a phone call. Difficulty connecting new phones for Bluetooth capabilities.

dislikeFilled Christina M.

The car is very low to the ground so you should practice caution when driving on rough terrain or over train tracks and I have experienced some electrical issues with the car but those issues were addressed by ford.

dislikeFilled Jordan G.

Every function on the vehicle has been recalled at some point. The backseat is practically non existence, as is the trunk. It is an incredibly small vehicle that would not suit a family. There have been numerous mechanical errors.

Great cost and value. I paid around 24,000 for it. The monthly payments were reasonable as well, around 275 a month.
Christie S.
I paid around $8000 for my ford fiesta, which was about $5,000 lower than similar cars with the same year and similar mileage.

My fiesta was pre-owned with only 15000 miles when I bought it. I paid 12,000 and I feel that I got a good deal especially considering that it had low mileage.
Debra C.
In 2017 it cost roughly $12,500. I felt I got a good deal even though the transmission was completely replaced.
Travis H.
It was a good value at a used dealership, though I would not buy it new (I would not buy a used car at all). It earns its worth back in the fuel I save.
Chelsea J.
My car cost 22000 when I bought it, and with the included amenities, I think that is a very good value
Tessa D.
