The Ford Fiesta is making a comeback in the US for 2011, prompted by an increased demand for better fuel economy with a reasonable price. The European-styled supermini is already in production in some areas. With its sporty driving dynamics, smooth and peppy engine, high fuel economy, welcoming cabin, and available high-end luxury features not many people don’t want the Ford Fiesta but have those people seen the price tag?
The Fiesta goes on sale this summer at $13,320 for the four door and $15,120 for the hatchback, without destination charges, compared to $12,615 for Toyota Yaris and $14,900 for Honda Fit. When you add in such standard accessories as automatic transmission, moonroof and leather seats, the price can zoom to $19,000, Brent Snavely writes. That’s more expensive than the larger, though dated, Focus at $16,290.
The Fiesta may have been getting some great reviews lately but the price tag might set a few people off especially for the fact everyone is staying on a budget because of the economy. However, if the big price tag for the small car doesn’t turn you off, then go ahead and talk to a Ford dealer.
