Used Ford Fiesta for Sale in Houston, TX

We bought this car used, but it was practically new. Only 71 miles. One month later and things were breaking down and failing. Soon after, we got our first letter in the mail from the manufacturer stating various recalls for different parts of the car. Repairs would be covered, but it was a hassle. We ended up getting more and more recall letters as time went on. Aside from all the needed repairs when the car was fixed it drove really well. It is a compact car so for it to be small and expected, and it is just my wife and I. However, anytime we needed to transport more than two people, it felt extremely crammed. There is little to no leg room for the backseat passengers even if the front seats are moved all the way forward. Not to mention if you manage to fit someone in the back comfortably, it's because the passengers in the front have there faces in the dashboard. We have a radio that has Ford Sync built in. It allowed us to connect our phones via Bluetooth so we could talk on the phone hands free or connect apps such as Pandora or Spotify for a personalized music experience, which was great for those long trips. After a few months though, the radio started to lose some of its functions. It started with the Bluetooth connectivity being shoddy to not allowing us to connect via Bluetooth at all. Then the menu on the radio started to malfunction. Then the radio itself would lose signal even on the channels we listened to clearly months before. Eventually, we could hear static or buzzing in the speakers. It got worse every time we used the car. This went on until one day they seemed to give out and the loudest singular tone was coming from the speakers out of no where. Restarting the car was the only way to fix it. This even happened if we weren't using the radio. They finally completely stopped working after my wife and I were on our way somewhere, and the radio did its now normal random screech. Except this time even turning off the car did not stop this bone chilling screech. We didn't have the money to fix the stereo, so the only fix was to dismantle the dash and to unplug the radio and speakers.

I bought the 2015 Ford Fiesta sedan standard transmission. I have had no problems with the car and routinely get 40 to 42 miles per gallon with a combination of highway and rural roads. I love the car and would definitely buy it again. Keep in mind that it is an economy car. It is a great car for one or two occupants. The rear leg room is very tight. From what I have read, I would not buy the automatic in neither the Fiesta nor the Focus.
