I got this car when I was in college. It was intended to get me around town and also to travel from my hometown back to campus occasionally. It has treated me very well in terms of reliability, safety, and mileage. I have had to do very little maintenance to it, which is good because I don't know anything about cars. It has withstood going without frequent oil changes, tune-ups, etc. longer than it should have had to. As a single person doing light traveling, it was a perfect car. However, it didn't age well, and there are a lot of cosmetic issues even at just 8 years old. I now have a home and family, and I have outgrown the Ford Fiesta. It does fit a car seat but only certain strollers can fit in the trunk. I need to upgrade to a larger car soon.

I like that it is small and compact. I can park just about anywhere with it and not worry about fitting in the space. I also like that it is fuel efficient. It is somewhat sporty and sleek in design while being a safe car at the same time. I don't have to worry about a lot of malfunctioning. It has a lot of features available compared to other cars that are similar, such as heated seats and heated mirrors or USB input. I was also able to get it with loan payments that are reasonable and not crippling to my budget.
