2012 Ford Fiesta User Reviews

Pros

Handles well, quiet, great fuel economy

Cons

Very limited back seat room

Purchased As New

I get 42 mpg (70%hwy/30%city). The cr is quiet at highway speeds, is responsive and comfortable (in front seats). I moved from a Town Car (honest) to the Fiesta. Obviously, the car does not ride like a Lincoln but it is fun to drive, easy to get through traffic and almost never visits the gas station. I was torn between the Mazda 3 and the Fiesta. On balance, I made the right choice....read morehide

Pros

Low price, 40mpg with SFE package

Cons

Less Headroom and Legroom for driver

Purchased As Not Purchased

I'm 6'3" tall and when i got in i had to move the seat back, lower the seat with the adjustable lever on the driver seat and extend the streering wheel. The legroom wasn't all that and my head almost touched the roof which had a sunroof.

I didn't test drive it and i also checked the Focus(check out the review on that....read morehide

Cons

I'm hated by everyone, I get 38 mpg city/52.3 mpg hwy and srive my 5 spd manual easily

This car is a GAME CHANGER!! Don't compare it unless you're going to let Prius drivers pass you. Hypermile nuts..this one's for you. I dependably get 38mpg city/ 50HWY. It's easy, you just recalibrate yourself to the new reality of high gas prices. Then quite trying to be first every where you go. I hate seeing everyone bitch about gas prices and then drive crazy fast, it's bizarre. I'm trying to teach by example and just get dirty looks. This car has nothing to bitch about. Everything else Chevy Aveo and the like seem cheap. Last time I drove a little car was noisy and bouncy, this one is quiet and sure. Rethink the economy, try slowing down and see what happens, you can pioneer some fantastically high economies in this car. I'm blown away but still just get dirty looks. Oh well....read morehide

had as a rent a car in ca
and drove 1700 - 2000 miles in 2 weeks
and gas mileage was not that great
when u went up hills in ca and az it sucked
it seemed like i filled it up ever 325 -365 to a tank not the high mpg it says it gets.
it take it higher than 75 -80 and it will shake you there.
it sits low to the ground and you feel ever rock in the road,
crappy interior functions for a new car on performance of radio and usb cord plug in....read morehide

This little Fiesta is fun to drive, excellent on gas and sporty in design. Furthermore, this car is so easy to drive that I'll be having my 16 yr old learn it it. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

Cons

low clearance avoid driving in deep 4"+ snow

Purchased As New

Went to dealer and was late. Had to test in rush hour traffic. Thought I'm not going to like this at first. Got into traffic. Loved it very manuverable. Didn't even sleep on it as I had planned to do. Yes it has low power. But if you want to go to point b from point a without visiting bankruptcy court over fuel prices, this is the car for you. A little tight for a 250 lb. guy like me, But I manage. Tested a Yaris. The Fiesta is definitely tighter, no rattles, feels more solid. Thank You Ford. Your past issues are forgiven....read morehide

Calling this vehicle a 5 passenger is a mis-normer statement. When front seat is pushed back, no way can there be a passenger in rear seat due to lack of leg room. Aside from this, am very satisfied with what I have.
