- 2011 Ford Fiesta
- The Fiesta is a small front-wheel-drive car from Ford's global portfolio that is new to the US market. The Fiesta slots below the Focus in Ford's U.S. lineup and serves as Ford's entry-level model. Compared to the latest Focus, the Fiesta is some 5-6 inches shorter and 3-4 inches narrower. A 1.6l four cylinder rated at 119-bhp is the only engine offered in the U.S. Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual or an advanced dual-clutch automated transmission. The Fiesta is offered in four-door and five-door models.
