The Best Cars 2016 Ford Fiesta

Review

2016 Ford Fiesta is a reminder of how far Ford has come in the last decade. It was not long ago that the best small car company reserved for Europeans and other foreign buyers, leaving the Americans to pick through the leftovers. In fact, Fiesta subcompact even sold on our shores until 2011, when we finally got to experience the car smooth, economical and fun to drive than the rest of the world is talking. Today, that same party remains the favorite, joined together sophisticated Focus to strengthen the appeal of Ford in the small car buyers.

Although the party had been around for a while now, Ford continues to introduce good features that keep it fresh. A recent example is the new-for-2016 synchronization Infotainment system 3, which replaces a relatively complex system MyFord Touch. Optional on SE and standard Fiesta at its highest setting, the synchronization 3 employs a simplified touch screen with clearly laid-out category, and respond to commands such as pinch and blow the smartphone. Fiesta also offers other items that you might not expect to find in a subcompact that is more affordable, including standard USB connectivity and voice control Sync.

A Party that always prominent feature is the handling on the road. Blessed with a tight, responsive steering and a feeling of agility, a small Ford is a hoot to drive, even if just zipping to the supermarket and back. Of course, performance-oriented Model ST even more enjoyable, but also relatively expensive; In addition, both models ST and surprisingly entertaining three-cylinder EcoBoost equipped with a manual transmission only. If you choose to base engine automatic transmission, by the way, you may notice that it does not move as well or just as expected.


The party's main rival is the most comprehensive and versatile Honda Fit, even though the characters are driving Honda unattractive. Chevrolet Sonic has a safe road behavior and high resolution touch screen itself is available, but does not have the raw Ford neighborhood. Elegant and sensitive Kia Rio Hyundai Accent is also worthy of consideration, especially in view of the propulsion system that guarantees generous. However, the 2016 Ford Fiesta is definitely a very good choice in this segment, providing little Father Time as impressive streak continues.
