The Ford Fiesta is a low-quality vehicle that is not worth the money. After owning the car for under two years, I've had to have the transmission replaced twice and there have been countless other factory recalls on the car. The number of factory recalls makes me feel as though I am not driving a safe car (door handle malfunction, transmission replacement, emission recall, etc.).

Overall I am very happy with my 2013 Ford Fiesta. Its a solid choice for a student or someone living in the city. It gets great gas mileage without coming across as a bare bones compact. Unfortunately the 4 cylinder engine doesn't have very much power behind it. Maintenance wise, its a breeze. When the oil change indicator came on (around 10,000 miles) I took it to my local dealership and it was done within half an hour. While it might not be the most exciting car to drive, the Ford Fiesta is an extremely economical choice that will get you around town in reliably and comfortably.
