 I've been watching the development of the North American Ford Fiesta for some time now. Europeans love Fiestas, and they are a tough customer to please. They have many fine sub compacts to choose from and the Fiesta leads the pack. I was afraid the Fiesta might suffer in translation to America, but it didn't. There is nothing about this vehicle that I find fault with. Yes, some accommodation must be made for it's small size, but the front-seat passengers will find it as comfortable as almost any other car of any type. The same is true of its super-efficient engine. It's not a Mustang, but it will keep up with traffic just fine. The better than advertised mileage I'm getting is a big plus.
