Default My 2011 Ford Fiesta test drive



I had the chance to test drive a 2011 Ford Fiesta, and I must say I was pretty impressed. Assuming few things change from the Euro version, this should be a great little car, and a formidable competitor to the Honda Fit.

I think that if it was slightly lower with some smaller wheels, it'd look pretty good from the exterior. You're right on the interior, though, it's fantastic.

My dads friend had an 82 fiesta...what a piece of crap. The new rally fiestas put down stupid amounts of power appereantly; I would only drive a rallycross fiesta.

Well, you can't exactly compare the 1982 Fiesta to a 2011 model. LOL

I had a 1979 Civic that was a pile of crap, too (although I did enjoy it for what it was).

You can't really compare European Fiesta's to American. They are some substantial differences.

I like it a lot! I might even consider getting one when they come out, retire my 9-5 or something.

Ahaha, Jeremy Clarkson is one funny Brit. "Shoot the enemy in the middle of it's face!" Seriously though, that car is ugly, it just looks like a cheap version of the last Focus from Europe, and you better believe it will be even uglier if it gets brought to the States.
