This supremely frugal ride exhibits great European driving dynamics and a sense of quality that by far exceeds expectations yet it achieves a fuel economy rating of just 7.1 and 5.3L/100km city and highway driving respectively.

If I had a magic wand, I’d want to give the Fiesta a little more oomph without compromising its outstanding fuel-efficiency. The wee mill tries hard to please in the passing lane but patience is required.
Overall, I came away impressed with the 2011 Ford Fiesta—Ford definitely has something to celebrate.
