Last year, Ford has made a version of its successful European festival in the U.S. market, and we believe this model is on target, taking into account how Americans are increasingly willing to enter small efficient vehicles without sacrificing the features and amenities.
In some ways, what you see is what you get with the Fiesta. This little Ford elegant and a bit of democracy, with an urban runabout, which had been absent from the Ford range in the United States. In the following runs Fiesta as beautiful as it looks with impressive control and handling and agility, agile feel it is better than most soft, numb defines its size. On the other hand, with 120 hp and 1.6 liter to about 2.600 pounds Fiesta is reactive, but not fast.
Despite the high level of internal moves first glance, the first date of the test with flying colors, try to pack a few friend Fiesta, and you should be aware of some of the typical small car sacrifices. Her slim body and a tight back seat to cut its usefulness long road trips, but we want to increase the versatility of the hatchback models. We are also not so enthusiastic about the tools available to the Fiesta panel, which clusters of audio controls as part of a series of odd diagonal buttons.
Return to the starting point, Ford held the line on pricing for 2012, based on Fiesta S starts at just $ 13 995 and includes a decent set of audio with auxiliary input, a folding rear seats, heating vents again , A / C, power locks, tilt steering wheel / telescopic - none of them are taken for granted in this vehicle class. The degree of security was impressive, and the knee airbag for the driver even included in all versions. A fully loaded top back of the line SES and could reach about $ 23k, but have a small car with leather seats, high-quality audio, voice control and Bluetooth USB synchronization interface, and an interior that is a trace of econobox.
But this raises a question: at this price, why not have some 'broader, more attention, or a basic (but is considered the highest level), the Mini Cooper? The answer is to force that Ford is almost - but not quite - this bag clean cars and very small door sedan. Keep it simple and inexpensive, and does a lot of (very elegant) way.
