Review: 2011 Ford Fiesta SES promises the democratization of fun
Remember when economy cars offered few concessions beyond roll-your-own windows, rear window defrosters and AM radios? It was only a handful of years ago that features on our 2011 Ford Fiesta SES tester would've qualified it for premium car status – if indeed items like Bluetooth, SYNC, a capless fuel fill and knee airbags were even available. There's no denying the steady trickledown of luxury goods into workaday iron, and the Fiesta is rolling proof. As you might also recall, back about 10 years ago, Ford executives and those charged with its British outpost, Jaguar, worked ... Read More

0Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta ST caught testing in Colorado, U.S. model in the offing? 1348520280
Ford is running the high-elevation numbers on its five-door, six-speed manual Fiesta ST in the mountains of Colorado. We're going to hope this means that all our finger-crossing has served its purpose, and the hot hatch is finally headed for U.S. showrooms. Remember, the five-door concept was teased at the Los Angeles Auto Show last year before the ...

Spy Shots: 2013 Ford Fiesta reveals Fusion-like face 1338917280
And the Ford Fiesta spy shots continue to pour in... First we saw the hatchback undergoing cold weather testing. Then just last week, our spy shooters caught the sedan testing in Germany. But now we've got the best view yet of the mid-lifecycle Fiesta refresh due in 2014. Caught in Michigan wearing only light applique camouflage, this Fiesta sedan ...

Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta sedan facelift spotted wearing squiggles 1338407040
While the sedan is hardly our favorite Fiesta – that would be the forthcoming, Europe-only ST – as long as Ford still feels the need to sell a four-door sedan we suppose it's only fair that it get the same updates as the hatchback. We saw spy shots of the hatch back in March, but now we've got images of the sedan as well. Our spy shooters ...

Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta five-door facelift photographed 1331758680
Ford is hard at work on a refresh for the Fiesta, and thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we're now getting our first glimpses of the subcompact's new schnoz. It appears as though the car's somewhat cutesy face will now have a more aggressive shape, complete with smaller headlamps that integrate LED running lights – which appears to be right ...

Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta ST drops some clothing on the Nürburgring 1308340860
Our sneaky spy shooters have once again trained their lenses on the upcoming Ford Fiesta ST testing at the 'Ring, only this time, the culprit was caught in a full five-door suit instead of the three-door hatch spied before. Besides the additional bodystyle, the new hatch is sporting a new set of wheels that should be the standard hoops fitted to the ...

Spy Shots: 2012 Ford Fiesta ST ready to back up its big brother 1285025040
We can't find much fault with the 2011 Ford Fiesta, but if there's one major gripe, it's a lack of power (well, and paddle shifters for the dual-clutch gearbox). However, it looks like that lone complaint may be addressed with the introduction of the Fiesta ST, the smaller sibling to the recently revealed Focus ST. Similar to the mule caught in Detroit ...

Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta-based crossover headed for the UK 1283380200
Ford is enjoying early success with the Fiesta here in the United States, but in Europe, where the Fiesta has been on sale for years, it's time to start thinking about the future. Our friendly neighborhood snappers at CarPix have scored spy shots of what appears to be a high-riding Fiesta-based crossover designed to slot in below the Kuga crossover in the ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Ford Fiesta EcoBoost 1268938620
The EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6 found in the Ford Flex and Taurus SHO has quickly become one of our favorite mills on the market. But what we've really been hankering for from FoMoCo is its smaller displacement offerings, specifically the 1.6- and 2.0-liter turbocharged engines slated to arrive next year. Along with the Fusion, the all-new Fiesta is set to ...

Ford Fiesta U.S.-spec gets caught in Mexican factory 1255377540
What is reported to be the coming U.S.-spec Ford Fiesta has been photographed during assembly in Mexico, and the minor changes we can glean so far center around the grille. Compared to its European counterpart, the American version gets a much chunkier front end which has pushed the leading edge of the hood back. The Ford emblem is now completely ...
