My worst mistake of 2011 (so far)Source: MSN Autos...which would be a little difficult as it was stuck in a long narrow driveway. Finally told us if we really needed to pull it out with the truck then wrap the tow strap around the trans axle! bet the wouldn't pay for it when it gets torn out with the tow. Overall: Sold the car in less then 6 weeks due to all the issues with getting kids out and getting stuck all the time. Also the SYNC system is an absolute nightmare. It would freeze up, not recognize devices and wouldn't recognize my wife's voice. The kids and I could talk to it but not her. Overall the car was nothing but a pain and it was... |

My Fiesta Rocks!Source: CarGurus...The interior is quite good as you would expect for a lil ford, but I did get a pair of seat covers to protect the seats from getting dirty or damaged. Space wise its pretty good as I did manage to get myself & 3 adults including luggage to the airport to go holiday, (ok it was a bit of a squeeze but we got there). I love the exterior styling, very sleek and smart in the metallic black, just got to get some rims for it. The running costs are great, easily get 54mpg. Maintenece is covered so not an issue. Around good lil car thats fun to drive, nippy around town and really easy to park due to... |

The 2011 Ford Fiesta is Ford's attempt to plant a first-rate competitor into a garden dominated by Asian brands.
While the Honda Fit is priced a bit higher than other entries, it remains the car the Fiesta has to beat; the Fit gets good ratings for its sprightly handling, its uber-flexible and spacious interior, and a solid feel behind the wheel.
While the Nissan Versa is priced quite low, it sacrifices features to get there.
It also rides and handles like a larger, heavier car, lacking the nimble handling that's a pleasure of the best subcompacts.
The Hyundai Accent handles well but isn't particularly comfortable at high speeds.
Finally, the Scion xD feels sporty and offers features galore, but lacks the Fiesta's jaunty styling.
Avoid the aging Chevrolet Aveo, which will be replaced next year.
