Auto DSG needs work

My worst mistake of 2011 (so far)
Source: MSN Autos

...There were no tow hooks to be able to pull the car out of the snow with and Ford customer care actually told us to call a tow truck and make sure they pulled from the front, which would be a little difficult as it was stuck in a long narrow driveway. Finally told us if we really needed to pull it out with the truck then wrap the tow strap around the trans axle! bet the wouldn't pay for it when it gets torn out with the tow. Overall: Sold the car in less then 6 weeks due to all the issues with getting kids out and getting stuck all the time. Also the SYNC system is an absolute nightmare. It...

Ultimate tiny tots vehicle
Source: MSN Autos

...Anything else after that watch out. Cons: If your tall or big and burly watch out. The seat did go back far enough so I could actually stretch my legs. With me being 6'0 240 that was obviously important. Even then after I test drove the vehicle for 20 minutes I was really grimacing just trying to get out. My wife who is 4'11 didn't have any problems. I was relieved when i got back to my Durango. Overall: If your on the small side it's perfect. I was looking for a commuter car to the Baltimore Area from York PA. There was no way I was going to make it in that car. It's fairly roomy for such a...

No Complaints after 6500 miles
Source: Edmunds

...Honda's Fit was a close second, but the Fiesta was much quieter at highway speed and gets better mileage. Took the Fiesta on a roadtrip from VA to ME last week, 2500 miles total mixed driving and got 39.3 mpg overall, A/C was almost always on too! Great mileage on backroads were I have gotten close to 50mpg! Front seats are comfortable even on 16hr trips! Back seats are fine for an hour or two, I'm 6'1" and don't mind. The auto trans is weird at slow speeds, but it is really a manual trans and shifts better than most people can shift a manual at low speeds, so with that perspective in mind it...

Mileage 40+

..."Have Fiesta SE sedan for 5 days, drove 330 miles in city/suburbs and still have 1/4 tank, doing mostly 42 mpg.
First time we own the vehicle which shows better than advertised mileage.
Ford made exceptional small car, well ahead of competitors. It is very comfortable inside, the performance is good and the transmission is a masterpiece."...

Overall: great commuter vehicle im getting approx 400-450 miles per tank...

Excellent Car-WIth its Quirks
Source: Edmunds

...I bought a Ford Fiesta SES Hatchback at the end of April.
Overall this car is amazing. Its incredibly efficient.
I just went on a road trip to Maine and it got 41mpg going back and around 38-39 going up/driving around there.
For typical weekly driving I get around 35-37 mpg driving a combination of city and highway.
Although driving back roads yesterday i was able to get around 50mpg. Note: The gauge for the mpg on the car is a bit pessimistic...

Everything we expected

...My wife an I purchased a white hatchback (we tinted the windows) about 20,000 miles ago.
Taken a trip from Detroit to NC and one to Fla. In the city we are getting 32.5 mpg.
On the highway with just my wife and I (no luggage) we get 45.0 mpg.
The car is quiet with little noise from without. could us a little more room for my right leg while driving.
Other than that, we have had no dissapointments with this car. Glad we bought the standard shift..lots of fun...
