We both recently retired so we sold one car and traded the other in for a new Tacoma. My wife drives it but does not like it and we are putting to many miles on it. We decided on another car to save the miles on the other. I opted for what I thought to be the cheaper than dirt car that ended up to be the Fiesta SE, automatic sedan. We picked it up yesterday and was I surprised at the quality of this car. I love this car. Heated seats, AC, power windows and locks, am fm cd and a back up camera. Wow. It rides better than the Tacoma, seats are more comfortable, quieter inside while driving, and is pretty peppy without even getting on it. Hardly touch the gas. The one thing I was in awe of was the 6 speed Transmission. So smooth over a seamless range of power. The 6 speed in the Tacoma is not smooth and when it upshifts, it does not want to downshift when power is needed. I need to almost put it to the floor to get the truck to move or downshift it manually to get it to move out of the high gear. I think at times, that could be dangerous. If we did not need a truck, I would get rid of it. It was not a cheap truck. The only thing we don't like about the fiesta is it has no satellite radio, but the radio that is in there is of good quality. Best 16,000 I have ever spent. I'll try to write back after we get some miles on it. We could have bought anything we wanted, but bought the Fiesta and I'm glad we did.
We have owned and driven just about everything, sports cars, luxury cars to Mack trucks, love this car.
