Ford Fiesta Euro-spec - First Drive - Kelley Blue Book

For more first drives, visit: http://www.kbb.com/car-news

Ford Fiesta. The last time a Ford Fiesta was sold in America, the year was 1980. In the decades since, the rest of the world has embraced the Fiesta, pushing total sales figures to around 12-million units. With Ford of America looking to establish a foothold in the small car category, the notion of bringing the Fiesta back to America seems like a smart idea. The Fiesta will return to the U.S. in 2010 but KBB got an advanced look at what we can expect, when we recently sampled the latest generation European-spec Ford Fiesta.

Now bring over the euro focus!

but it reduces the revs the engine makes at top gear which then reduces noise

I have the 2011 Ford Fiesta SEDAN not hatchback and it's a really nice car and gets great gas milage. However, I'm 5'8" and my head hits the ceiling in the back seat. The front is very confortable, but the back seat is cramped. I guess the hatchback has more room.

@eggo1 the f150 and new mustang have a double overdrive six-speed, just sayin

New York is an awesome town, but I'm pretty sure it was filmed in LA. That's the Vincent-Thomas bridge in San Pedro Harbor (LA). In the short street scene with the road workers you can see the palm trees in the back - Sunset Blvd I think.

This review was done in New York.

I saw the Whitestone Bridge at 3:33
