Overall Rating
The Ford Fiesta is a compact hatchback/sedan that has always been in the limelight for its flamboyant looks, superior feel, and never-ending list of convenient features.
The Ford Fiesta is a compact hatchback/sedan that has always been in the limelight for its flamboyant looks, superior feel, and never-ending list of convenient features. The 2014 Ford Fiesta has become even better in quality, finer detailing, and a truckload of features. Prospects are not far away for the next editions of Fiesta to come up with added features for much better driving comfort. There is a nice balance to the Ford Fiesta’s design and it looks particularly sporty in profile.
We recommend the top rack variant SE for its handful of advanced features and it is just a tad more expensive than the base variant when it comes to price, but it is also equipped well with some convenient features such as Navigation System, Remote keyless entry, air conditioning, and some flawless driving aids.

A well-laid-out instrument cluster, with soft touchpads and the use of first-class materials, makes it more upscale than its predecessor in every way.

The seats are very comfortable and the upholstery options feel supreme and it blends well with the pleasant aura of the cabin.
