As for the 5-speed, the lever action is progressive with just enough resistance and the throws are fairly short. Pedal placement is not ideal and the lower portion of the center console is wide. These two points make heel-and-toeing difficult.
The Fiesta: Coming soon to a dealership near you
Expected sometime in mid-summer, the Fiesta will be available in nine different colours, two body styles and with numerous trims to cater to everybody’s tastes. You can even get leather seats in this thing!
Since its introduction in 1976, Ford has delivered over 12 million Fiestas and close to 700,000 have already been spoken for since the launch of the present generation late in 2008. Our B-car will come from Mexico, one of five locations in the world where it is assembled.
With an important predicted rise in small cars over the next few years, the Fiesta could not come at a better time or at a more appealing price point. Starting at $12,999, the party-car will do some serious damage in its segment and it is seriously warranted. If reliability is up to snuff, this will hands-down be the one to beat in the category.
