The Fiesta is one of those rare subcompacts that feels like a solid, substantial car, while offering a civilized ride and fairly quiet cabin for its class. As you'd expect for such a small car, it's also quite fuel efficient, with its standard 120-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine.

Owner Satisfaction
Owner Satisfaction
To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. NA indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.
