QUOTE
Vehicle Tested:
2011 Ford Fiesta SES
Base Price:
$17,795

Price as Tested:
$19,605

Engine:
DOHC 1.6-liter inline-4

Gearbox:
Five-speed manual

Power and Torque:
120 hp @ 6,350 rpm; 112 lb-ft @ 5,000 rpm

0-60 mph:
10.0 seconds

Fuel Mileage:
29 mpg city/38 mpg highway (est.)

What Works (pros):
Engaging steering and handling; rides like a larger car; in-car electronic toys; convenience options not usually found on a subcompact; excellent fuel economy.

What Needs Work (cons):
Economy-oriented five-speed manual saps performance; smallish rear seat; gets pricey if you indulge yourself with the options list.

Bottom Line:
A stylish, grown-up car that drives better than almost any small car you can name.
