I've had a 17 Ford Fiesta Se car since 2017.

I've had a 17 Ford Fiesta Se car since 2017. Bought it brand new off the lot. Got ripped a new one due to the price I paid, however it was worth it. She's got a bit over 200,000 miles and the only major problems were the timing belt was walking off, and the original belt snapped put of the blue once. Cars a/C is still perfect, lacks horsepower but a very economical and spunky car. Time for maintenance on the sus as of now, but I still love driving it. Bluetooth took a crap, and it still drives great. I live in the mountains so it's taken a beating, but she keeps going!

Good bang for the buck; electronics issues.

I bought this car from a dealer in 2018 with 9.5K miles on it. It was previously owned by an employee executive in that business. The car in 2023 now has 93K miles on it. Issues I've had: 1) Horn failed 2) Heating/Defrost Vent Solenoid failed twice. 3) APIM (Bluetooth connectivity) failed. The engine has been solid. The transmission has been solid. (reworked for the 2017 model year). Cooling has been fine. Radio has great reception and sounds good. For me (5-9", 235 lbs) the front bucket seats are comfortable. I've used the back seat fold down feature several times to transport items I thought would not fit inside the car.

Very clean car

This car is the perfect car for me and my daughter as it is very clean and enough room. I can fit 5 people in y car and it doesn't have almost no miles on it for very cheap I think this car was perfect.

Love my Fiesta ST!

Best choice for the money. Excellent performance out of a turbocharged 1.6 Liter engine. Plus great and comfortable interior with all the amenities of more expensive vehicles.

Funnest Bang for Buck

Speedy little go cart like car. Good for daily driving. Rough sporty suspension as expected, but way too rough for my wife so be weary. I'm addicted to the sounds it makes when you put the foot on the gas. Great car for the amount of money I paid.

This car was not a very good car

This car was small and uncomfortable. I put a lot of mileage on this car kept up with the scheduled maintenance for the car but still was constantly dropping money into this car for repairs

Best overall performance for thebuck

I test drove this car multiple times before I decided. It took me 6 months to pull the trigger as my color choice and mileage and options were very specific. All that set aside I realized something when I finally purchased it. None of the options or even color mattered. The car is THAT GOOD! It is fun and just whispers in your ear when you are inside please push me a little harder. The gear changes are snappy, the car turns on a dime and second gear and third gear always puts a smile on your face. Yes there are faster cars, I have a 2009 v8 audi and a 2018 Audi S4 which are both faster. But when I go in my garage I keep grabbing the Fiesta St keys. Shes just a little zippy car that is fun. Unfortunately It was totaled due to someone rear ending me in their 2020 mustang couple days ago. The fire department that pulled me out the car even was shocked how well the car stayed intact at the speed he hit me while I was stopped. So that means I need another one. Once I get these broken ribs into shape I will get another one. I dont care what color or wht option. Ford you did good on this one.

It’s adequate.....

If you don’t need tech, speed, or anything exciting this is the car for you! It’s as boring and basic as you can get without it being a bicycle.

I loved this car

This is a great safe car and it gets amazing gas mileage. I love how this car drives so smooth and keeps the outside noise out. Great air conditioning
