The new Ford Fiesta has received lots of good reviews in the press and on the web. Most visitors to Fiesta Force are fans of the new small Ford or consumers looking for more information and feedback from owners.
I think the two reviews below should appeal to FF fans and new members. As a long time Top Gear fan I’m partial to their humorous take on car reviews but also appreciate the factual nature of the Consumer Reports video.
Let us know what you think after the break.

Consumer Reports Ford Fiesta Review:
Edmunds recently posted a comparison of the 2009 Honda Fit sport and 2009 Ford Fiesta titanium that included acceleration and handling performance tests. As in earlier reviews the Fiesta was judged the more rewarding car to drive while out right performance of each car is very similar.
The Fiesta (at least the European Version tested) had optional features like automatic rain sensing wipers, leather interior, smart key and navigation system that you would normally find in luxury cars not affordable hatchbacks.

It was bound to happen, but I was a little surprised that Fiesta vs. X comparisons have started before the first US spec car has been reviewed. Our friends at Edmunds compared the new Ford Fiesta to the Honda Fit.
Fiesta vs. Fit
I think most comparisons of the Fiesta will end with similar conclusions: “The Fiesta isn’t nearly as practical as a Fit, but it’s certainly a more capable hauler than the compact sedans that budget-minded Americans have long preferred to hatchbacks. It’s also just a nicer car all-around than most of those dopey sedans. Other than the rear legroom issue, I can’t think of a single reason I’d tell someone to buy a Civic or Corolla instead of a Fiesta. (For that matter, I can’t think of a single reason I’d tell someone to buy a Corolla, period.) You’re right, that’s the way hatchbacks need to stage their comeback: by being appealing and entertaining cars that just happen to have a more useful cargo bay. From that perspective, the Fiesta’s fabulous.”
