She Buys....He Sells
2012 Ford Fiesta SES
He Sells (HS)
She Buys (SB)
Performance
& Handling(HS):
It handles really nice and I quite enjoyed it. It was really nimble, although you could definitely tell you were driving a roller skate – but a very obedient one!
(SB):
A nice zippy little car that definitely could almost go anywhere. Was easy to drive and relatively comfortable.
Build Quality
(HS):
Not the best, but on par for a car at this level. You can tell it is an entry-level car in a lot of the fit and finishings that are used.
(SB):One of the things I don’t like about smaller cars is that you sacrifice quality for size. Unfortunately, this car was no exception. The build quality was what you would expect of an entry-level model.
Practicality
(HS):
For a Car that starts at $12,500 it's quite reasonable, the one we had rang in at a steeper $25,500....well, not overly sure where the extra $13,000 came in, but it's there somewhere.
Got excellent gas mileage – 6.5l/100km
Very nice and easy to park – if you can’t park this baby, you don’t deserve a license!
For an entry-level runabout, it fairs very well in all areas – great storage capacity, seats fold where they need to, there is ample room inside and has great sight lines.
(SB):
This would be a great little city car. Lots of zipping in and out, great mileage and a decent stereo. I think it would be ideal for a student or first time buyer.
Overview(HS):
Surprisingly good stereo for this level of car, although I found the placement of some buttons were a bit awkward.
No navigation system was included.
I really liked the shape and look of this car, although the eye-popping red and tattoo-decal was a bit much for me – and for me to feel it is over-the-top is saying something! But then if you want over the top, try one of the other bright colors available on these cars, Ford definitely has the market cornered on cool colors!
(SB): Who the heck is Ken Block????
