2011 Ford Fiesta OverviewSource: CarGurus...and Ford claims a 10% efficiency increase over a traditional automatic setup. Combine this with its sealed internal lubrication, eliminating the need for any maintenance over its expected 150,000-mile lifespan, and that’s quite an upgrade.There have been other U.S.-specific changes, like suspension tuning and more comfortable seats to accommodate the …ahem… “unique” driving conditions on this continent, and while they do little for overall handling, they are a welcome boon to overall comfort. Here, we’ll get the choice of a 5-door hatchback or sedan, in any of five trim levels... |

2011 Ford Fiesta Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Especially remarkable is how well the Fiesta tracks. Get up to 70 or 80 mph on the highway, and the steering wheel requires few corrections to stay on course. Ford endowed the car's electric power steering — a setup popular these days for its fuel-efficiency benefits — with systems to compensate for crosswinds and even tire imbalance. The result: The subcompact Fiesta feels as settled on the highway as a compact or midsize car. Highway wind noise is impressively quiet, and the engine doesn't get loud until pushed hard. Our test cars came with 16-inch wheels and P195/50R16 tires, which... |

2011 Ford Fiesta Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...My test car's futuristic-looking stereo system was a little too complex for me to fully grasp in a one week trial, but I'm certain I would have gotten it after another week (let's hope). There were a lot of buttons, which is what threw me. So many options! Including the steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, there were at least three ways to change the station, and I never got completely comfortable with one way or another. My test car also had standard Sync voice-activated technology, which helped me keep my eyes on the road. With a height-adjustable driver's seat and a standard... |

2011 Ford Fiesta Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Seat choices include cloth and leather, with optional accent-color piping. Multicolored ambient lighting is another option currently seen on higher-priced Fords. Through Ford Custom Accessories, buyers can opt for metallic door sill plates and shift knob, and even illuminated versions of the same. Convenience options include cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, keypad keyless entry, push-button engine start and even remote start. Entertainment features start with a standard analog MP3 player input jack and range all the way to a Sync-enabled premium stereo with steering-wheel... |

2011 Ford Fiesta — Flash DriveSource: MSN Autos...At its core, the Fiesta is a small, practical car that delivers up to 40 mpg. However, it also has a sense of style and a fun-to-drive factor that makes the Fiesta more fun than its practical numbers would indicate. Our test driver, a Sport SES 5-door hatchback clad in Lime Squeeze Metallic paint, included a rear spoiler, 16-inch aluminum wheels and seven-color ambient interior lighting. While it's not a sports car, the chassis is well-balanced, the steering is precise and the 1.6-liter engine delivers plenty of power. And Ford's Easyfuel capless fuel filler is the slickest feature we didn't... |
