Also, the Fiesta has been hurt quite a bit in these rankings by problems with its automatic transmission. If you plan on driving a manual transmission, it shoots up the rankings very quickly. The Fiesta’s automatic is a small dual-clutch unit that is great for fuel economy but is not smooth in its operation. Many buyers have perceived this as a problem, when in fact they all act in roughly the... (more)
Pros
Good city car. The Ford Fiesta is a great car for urban dwellers.
Cons
Unfortunately, there are some obvious downsides to the new Fiesta. Some drivers will be disappointed with the Fiesta's below-average crash scores and tight backseat. A low resale value also puts the Fiesta at a disadvantage against rivals like the Honda Fit.
