Overview
The 2015 Ford Fiesta is a subcompact sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $14,455. For that price, it mainly competes with the Nissan Versa, the Chevrolet Sonic, and the Kia Rio Sedan. Between 3 trims, the Fiesta offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 1.6L Inline-4 capable of making 120 horsepower and 112 lb-ft of torque. If more power and economy are required, there is also a 123 horsepower-making 1.0L turbocharged Inline-3. The former engine is mated with a 5-speed manual transmission by default but you can opt for the available 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the latter engine comes with only a 5-speed manual gearbox.
The Fiesta reaches 60 MPH from zero in 9.5 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 8.9 seconds with the 1.0L turbocharged Inline-3. Depending on the powertrain, the Fiesta can manage a combined fuel economy of between 31 and 36 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the Fiesta comes in really pull you towards itself.
