The Ford Fiesta Provides A Lot Of Value For Your Dollar
Posted by Jacqueline Star in Uncategorized, tags: automotive, autos, cars, Ford, fuel efficiency, green cars, hybrid cars, Uncategorized, vehiclesDue to its unique look, excellent fuel economy and overall value, the Fiesta has become extremely popular. Consumers have the option of choosing from a hatchback body style or a sedan. The vehicle boasts a noticeable three bar grille and dragon’s eye headlamps. The Fiesta’s popularity in the States says a lot about its value since U.S consumers prefer SUV’s or much bigger cars. The Fiesta competes in the affordable compact car segment the Mazda 3, Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit. It is available in 5 different trim models; S, SE, SEL and SES.
This compact car is fueled by a V4 1.6 Ltr with 120 HP. A very unique feature that the Fiesta has is its manual mode which utilizes clutches in order to switch to the appropriate gears. In terms of gas mileage, this auto receives around 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the freeway. This is almost as good as some hybrid vehicles. The Fiesta makes use of a finely tuned suspension and handles curves and highways with lots of gusto.
If you upgrade to the higher end trims, you get super cool features such as Ford’s SYNC and temperature controlled seats. Sync is compatible with Bluetooth enabled smart phones and allows you to easily place telephone calls hands free and direct your audio system by using your voice. You can select from seven different lighting colors for your ambient lighting. Another really cool feature that the Fiesta offers is its capless fuel filler system. You can simply fill up your car without having to screw any cap.
The extensive air bag system offers solid protection with front, side and knee bags. The Fiesta was built around a safety cage made out of tough boron steel. The driver side mirror contains an integrated blind spot viewer which helps to reduce blind spots. The electronic stability control system automatically adjusts pressure on the brakes as needed.
What the Fiesta brings to the table is excellent value, great gas mileage and features usually found in more upscale cars. The gas mileage is comparable to that of hybrid vehicles plus fancy amenities such as heated seats and the advanced Sync System are available on upper level models. It’s obvious that this isn’t your average small car. A lot of thought has been put into the Fiesta in order to make it one of the most competitive small autos in its class. The cost of the 2011 Fiesta is around thirteen thousand dollars and will vary depending on the options selected.
