Ford Fiesta

Despite recent requests from two of the two people that read this blog, I decided to take this one in a much different direction. By that I mean about $75,000 worth of difference, that is the very affordable, very comfortable, and extremely efficient, Ford Fiesta.

The Ford Fiesta is one of, if not my absolute favorite, affordable and small vehicles. Most things about it are wonderful; size, efficiency, comfort, cost, and just the overall everyday uses for this vehicle.

Lets start with size, practicality, and comfort.

The Ford Fiesta comes in a reasonably small hatch-back that comes in at a 160.1 inches long which is almost a foot shorter than its older brother the Ford Focus at 171.6 inches long. The Fiesta is also 3.3 inches less width wise than the Focus. Making it more compact but not drastically enough to the point of it being a completely useless hatch-back.

Practicality wise you can see that the Fiesta does indeed have a good amount of space being a small hatch-back at only 170.1 inches long.

I have sat in the drivers, passengers and rear seats of this vehicle, and I fit comfortably in all (despite being 6' 2").

Looks wise, I love it. The Ford Fiesta is a good looking car with a reasonable price tag and practical enough for everyday use. Ford has an option for a "Sport Appearance Package" with front, side, and rear skirts and a elongated spoiler. (Note: ignore the hideous graffic, and by graffic I mean cheap sticker, on the side of the Fiesta featured above). The interior center dash is simple, but doesn't look like the past Focus center dash which both looked and felt cheap.

The Ford Fiesta has much more capabilities than most drivers realize. The Fiesta, although lacking in the engine department (for now), has good handling and is just overall a good drive

And of course this is always an option for a Fiesta owner...




Ken Block's new Ford Fiesta Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle (H.F.H.V.)  is equip for Gymkhana, Rallycross, and Stage Rally. The H.F.H.V. is equip for all three with easy interchangeable, well, everything.



Heres a video that shows the part changes between Gymkhana, Rallycross, and Stage Rally.



Also, watch Ken Block drive the H.F.H.V. in the new Gymkhana 4 video.




Also, for the few of you that read this blog, suggest it to your friends! Pass the link on! Much appreciated.
