Ford Fiesta hatchback 2013 review - Carbuyer

"The Ford Fiesta isn't just good to look at, it's great to drive and very practical, too."

[dlwarren]

Drove one of these today, absolutely brilliant, extremely fun to drive and the gearbox was brilliant!

Excellent review. I test drove this girl today and it is exactly as you described. The only thing that stopped me from signing the paper was the boot space and seats awkward folding. But overall best drive on a mini car ever! Well done Ford

I just had the Ford fiesta as a courtesy car in the zetec s 1.0 turbo and it is one of the best cars I have ever driven. It had plenty of power, brilliant handling, rides like a german saloon car and looks brilliant. Furthermore the fuel economy is amazing and the amount of equipment available is endless. I have just put in an order for the exact same spec.

That fiesta looks absolutely beautiful

I agree with the best small car to drive, Ford fiestas are being used in quite a few outdoor and indoor racings all over the world.

I can't believe they never mentioned the gearbox! The gear change is so slick on this car it's like the bolt on a rifle!

I love the Fiesta. It's an awesome little car. I own a current-gen Focus hatch, but if I couldn't own that, I'd have the Fiesta Titanium in a heartbeat, especially if we Yanks got the diesel or the ecoboost...And now with the ST, that's totally an option. I'm hoping I can convince my fiancee's mum to buy a Fiesta; it's such a practical, frugal, yet not cheap and nasty car.

the fiesta is still fun to drive. I think the grill makes the front more better looking. Its a great car to drive every day.

My 2009 Ford Fiesta (the previous version) also has voice commands to call people, control air conditioning and sound system, and it has USB and Bluetooth connection.

Honestly the best small car money can buy!

Check all the VS youtube videos with fiesta on it and fiesta always

I MISS YOU SO MUCH MAT!! WELCOME BACK...

I tried the 1.4 lpg, the engine is actually quite brilliant... didn't expect it

[Lzrdman]

I drove the fiesta with dual clutch auto here in las vegas and i have to say i love it.

[Shaylin]

I found that the manual is hard to get used to. I over rev really badly as when you accelerate it just doesn't seem to do much and then all of a sudden the revs pick up. Other than that it's a great car to drive.

[Kennielsen]

Alright, thank you for taking the time to make me feel confident that i made the right choice.

[SwPiotrek]

Very cool review.
I like this car.
Right now it looks even better.

[leoncarbon]

Few testers have been saying that the 3 cylinder turbo is slightly slow on acceleration compared to the 1.6 4 cylinder.

[forresg]

love my 2013 fiesta and especially new grill look.gives it more class in my opinion
- in 2/3 yrs time I will definitely buy another

Yes, the diesel engines (not all of them) are from PSA (Peugeot Citroen) and they are quite good. Volvo, Range Rover, and Mini also borrowed PSA diesels and BMW is thinking of replacing some of their diesel engines with PSA giving PSA in exchange the THP petrol engine technology.
