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 vehicleSource: 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 milesSource: 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... |
