"Beware... the car may look cute and the price may sound great; along with the savings at the pump but I have had my car for only 10 months and the powertrain light went on. I started losing power while I was driving and struggled with the clutch to shift gears. Brought it into the shop and it was a factory defect; the petal sensor needed to be replaced. When I got the car back; the drive felt great and I thought it was ok. Didn't even have it back for 24hrs and the light came back on; now it is the wire harness.(not sure if I spelt that correctly) Nothing like having a car payment and having to drive a rental. Not sure what will go out next but I don't trust the car."

2012 Fiesta SE - Automatic

By fussbudget (NY) on Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 18,000

Pros: "Handles well, easy to park, cute"

Cons: "Door cup holder, no manual door unlocks"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I bought this car in May of 2012. It handles very well, turns on a dime and can be parked effortlessly. The transmission, which is certianly different, has not been a problem for me. It is loud and a bit jerky, but that is the nature of this transmission. It is more akin to a standard transmission than a traditional American transmission. I think at least some reviewers are trying to make it into a hydromatic...it isn't. It also has a few minor, but very annoying quirks. First the electric door unlock is in the middle of the dash and there are no manual unlocking buttons. Also, the cupholder next to your left leg is a real pain. On balance though, I love this car and would recommend it."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 8,000

Cons: "see my review"

"The only drawbacks are that the hinges for the hatchback cover didn't last long, and the headlights are aimed too low. It also would have been nice if the sync display wasn't in LED red. Otherwise, this is the best car I've ever owned. PLUS, I get better MPG than was posted. ALSO, this car accelerate better than V6s I've owned. Punch it, and it goes!"
