Overview

The 2014 Ford Fiesta Sedan is a subcompact sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $14,100. For that price, it mainly competes with the Nissan Versa, the Chevrolet Sonic, and the Kia Rio. Between 3 trims, the Fiesta offers a single powertrain. The base engine is a 1.6L Inline 4 engine capable of making 120 horsepower and 112 lb-ft of torque. However, there's a choice between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Fiesta reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.4 seconds and can manage a combined fuel economy between 31 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the Fiesta comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2014 Ford Fiesta offers excellent trim levels but none hit the sweet spot like SE trim level. This is the only trim that receives a special appearance package and the super fuel economy package. With the SE trim level and its additional packages, you can get an excellent list of features without paying a premium.
