By the way what's up with all the Fiesta bashing comments?? Usually i read extremely positive comments yet here it's mostly people nagging about insignificant stuff! Was this video linked to a Mazda fan forum or something?

My father, who is 72 years old, bought one of these a few months ago. He ordered the model with five doors and filled it with all the luxury you can get to this car. Recently I drove it from Stockholm to Copenhagen and it is an extremely pleasant car to drive. Must recommend this car. Five stars. Good work Ford!

I got this car running low nines on the quarter mile :D Got an engine swap though for the track.

@TheTarrMan I agree. I like that the 5-door is coming here, but that 4-door sedan version is just rubbish. I don't know why American drivers insist on ruining perfectly fine compact cars by forcing an external trunk onto them (see: Focus).

@TheTarrMan You aren't alone!

I don't want a lame sedan or a 5-door hatch, Ford! 3 doors, or no sale!

I want the metallic blue 3-door, in Zetec S trim, if not ST/RS trim.

Now all of us want a heavy-ass Mustang.

new Ford Kierana is so nmuch better

[TheTarrMan]

I wish they made a hot-hatch version of that in the U.S.A. Or at the very least the two door version.

how long does it take from 0 to 100km/h?

@pef286 mustang? gt? anything with svt on it, like my raptor?

[pef286]

It's comming to the U.S. Finally a good European car for Ford that isn't "Americanized" (soft and fat). We will get the four door hatch and four door sedan. No two door. Only the 1.6 gas (petro) and a new six speed auto and five speed manual. Thinking of getting one, can't wait to test drive one.

Unlike most of these posters I actually have one of these cars. I've had Fiestas in the past too, including the mk1. It's really brilliant and drives sensationally. Just check the Top Gear review and be in no doubt, this is one cool little car.
