On top of beating our side of the pond to the advanced chassis technology world by a decade, the Fiesta was also available in a number of special high-performance variants, too. These included the Fiesta ST and XR4, which got about 150 horsepower. The Fiesta Zetec S and Fiesta RS were highly drooled-upon by sports car fans as well. A rich history in motorsports was part of the package.

Ahh, European cars

Don’t worry, though. If you’ve been waiting for a peppy, dynamic, affordable and upscale European car to go on sale in Canada, Ford promises that their 2011 Fiesta won’t disappoint. It shares most of its componentry with the overseas model, will come with a number of exclusive technologies, and promises to deliver addicting driving dynamics and fantastic looks.

Europe does small cars right-- and us Canadians are about to see what all the fuss is about. Keep your eyes on your nearest Ford dealer for the first units to arrive.
