2013 Ford Fiesta - Mostly Positive
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.
Story
I drove my 2013 Ford Fiesta on the Auto Bahn in Germany, and it actually can hit speeds of 115 -120. Although you do get funny looks from the Audi's and Beamers passing you by.
Pros
Gas mileage is really good, easily over 36 MPG for highway. Great Price. Includes a sound system with several different input modes. The ride is comfortable and mostly quiet. Great for getting into tight spots. Surprisingly spacious trunk. Long gaps between oil change. Sirius included.
Cons
The back seat is very cramped. The audio system has some serious user interface flaws, with the Bluetooth is frustrating to the point of being unusable. Poor acceleration. Must be serviced at a ford approved point.
2013 Ford Fiesta - Strongly Dislike The Ford Fiesta
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.).
Story
I enjoyed going camping with my spouse on our honeymoon in this car.
Pros
The audio system on this vehicle is very nice. I enjoy that I have access to Sirius Radio as well as my iPod when I go on car trips.
Cons
I don't feel safe driving this vehicle. The Ford Fiesta has not held it's value - it's worth less than half of what I bought it for two years after purchasing. The sheer number of recalls makes me feel like I'm not driving a safe car. I strongly dislike this car and will never purchase another Ford vehicle. The trunk is narrow and I can't fit anything large in my car due to the fact that the trunk significantly narrows.
