I thought purchasing a new vehicle as opposed to a used one would save me the mechanical hassle all of my friends were facing. Boy, was I wrong. Within 2 months of me taking it off the lot and having a very short daily commute my transmission started acting up. I thought maybe I was being too rough on it as I lived in Florida at the time and people there drive a little bit rougher than average, so I started taking it easy and the problems only persisted. I was young, dumb, and broke but luckily the vehicle was under warranty so I took advantage of that. At least 7 times I have been to the shop because the problem never gets fixed. It got to the point where they extended the warranty for the transmission to 10 years for free. I'm currently taking part in a lawsuit with Ford in the hopes that I can get something back from this nightmare and huge financial loss. The only good things about this car are the gas mileage and the decent trunk space for a small car. Even the cheap price tag isn't worth it.

I like the size and overall style of the Ford Fiesta. The car is compact and gets around traffic with ease. It is reliable and sturdy with a nice and comfortable interior. The interior is light colored so it does get stained easily but most of it wipes off without any problem due to the type of fabric used. The sound system is a mid-grade quality and just right for me as it is not soft but does have enough sound for my music. The Bluetooth system works but it is difficult to access the 1st time you connect a device. It does not allow you to connect a device while the vehicle is in motion and the panel is small so there is no room for proper instructions. The A/C vents don’t move up and down only side to side so that is annoying.
