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.
