Thinking of buying a Ford Fiesta? Get the latest, 2011 model.
Buy Ford Fiesta = Prestige
Ford is known as a prestige brand, meaning that they offer models that cost more than their equivalents in other car brands, but are designed to look better, feel better and perform better. Plainly put, in todays society, having a Ford is a sign of accomplishment, style, and success. All this is definitely the case with the 2011 Ford Fiesta, with its rounded, streamlined design, light and easy handling, speedy responsiveness and impressive safety features.
Buy Ford Fiesta = Performance
The Fiesta may be a small car, but it performs well on the road. In fact, its because its such a small car that it can perform so well. With its light body, you dont need a very powerful engine to get good acceleration and top speeds. Even then, when you buy a Ford Fiesta, youll get a 1.6-litre TiVCT Duratec I4 Engine, which is nothing to laugh at.
The Fiesta also has a good width-to-height ratio, which makes it aerodynamic, and thus easy to steer. You wont be tipping to one side every time you make a turn.
Electric power-assisted steering (
EPAS) and a Hill Start Assist system (groundbreaking for its class) allow you to drive with control and ease. The EPAS will provide feedback to you even when youre traveling at highway speeds through its speed-sensitive steering and active nibble control technology.
When you buy a Ford Fiesta you will also be able to opt for a PowerShift six-speed automatic transmission, which will give you constant torque at the wheels, even when shifting. This means that you can virtually kiss lag-time goodbye. It is also equipped with a leak-free dry clutch technology and a neutral idle mode that will cut back gas consumption and helps eliminate drag.
Buy Ford Fiesta = Comfort and Safety
If youre worried about safety, dont be. When you buy a Ford Fiesta, youre getting a car that has been awarded Top Safety Pick status by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The car, small as it is, has been rated good in all the companys tests, which Ford attributes to the car designs extensive use of high-strength steels and multiple airbags that are strategically located throughout the cars interiors. The structure of the front is designed to redirect impact forces away from the passenger compartment, and the sides also protect from side-impact.
The Fiesta also has AdvanceTrac ESC, which is able to detect wheelslip and responds by applying the brakes and modulating engine torque accordingly, without you having to do anything. With its control of understeer and oversteer, the car makes skidding and fishtailing much less likely, even when in icy or rainy conditions. That was, you can stop when you have to without danger of losing control. Handy? Definitely.
