2011 Ford Fiesta




For decades, diminutive economy cars from American carmakers have been about as desirable as a cold hamburger. Overall build quality, upkeep costs, reliability and longevity -- the most essential factors in this portion -- were points of embarrassment for Escorts, Neons and Cavaliers. But with the Euro-bred 2011 Ford Fiesta (which slots under the Focus to become Ford's new entry-level model), the U.S. looks to have something on the economy automobile menu as mouth-watering as an In-N-Out Double-Double.

Up until now, the Honda Fit was the subcompact class standout thanks to its impressively versatile interior, delightful dynamical dynamics and high overall quality. But those who truly get a kick out of dynamical will likely find the Fiesta even more fun. Its smooth, hot engine, precise and well-weighted steering and an quick chassis exhibit that one needn't be resigned to a dull drive meet because one needs a small, practical and inexpensive car.

Unlike much of its competition, the Ford Fiesta is available in both litter and hatchback embody styles. Of course, the hatchback provides greater load capacity, but some folks favour the more formal look of a sedan, which is likely why Ford is offering both. Either way, the Fiesta provides sprightly handling, a compliant ride and a quiet cabin at freeway speeds. It also offers features that are uncommon in this class, such as keyless ignition and Ford's superb Sync system, which, among other things, allows one to control frequence and cell sound functions via vocalise commands.

There are some distinctive Fiesta alternatives in this competitive segment. Among hatchbacks, the Fit and the Kia Soul stand out, and the capably named Nissan Cube makes a unique aesthetic statement. Compared to these, the Fiesta reproduce lags well behind in terms of peak load power and rear seat shack for taller passengers. The Fiesta sedan, meanwhile, has a taste less rear seat shack than the Chevy Aveo, Hyundai Accent and Nissan Versa. But it floors them all with its more engaging personality. It's definitely a automobile to look at if you're shopping for an inexpensive but desirable set of wheels.
