2012 Ford Fiesta in Richmond, VA - $6,995

Updated last year, the Ford Fiesta has burst onto the scene with an impressive lineup of powertrain options anchored by the award-winning 1.0L three-cylinder EcoBoost® engine that delivers a thrill-packed ride plus great gas mileage.Equipped with a dazzling array of features and technologies that proves small is smart, personalization features and hot new color combinations make the 2014 Ford Fiesta a car that not only revels in the spotlight, but demands it.

Introduced at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, the new Fiesta redefines the small car with an exciting new look, special features, and technology that make it the most fun-to-drive car of its size. Proving to be every bit as creative as its owner, the new Fiesta offers consumers custom exterior design graphics and sexy new color options. The redesigned exterior boasts a sporty new grille that reflects the new face of Ford.

Available in S, SE and Titanium trim levels, base power for the Fiesta is produced by a 1.6L four-cylinder engine. An all-new 1.0L three-cylinder EcoBoost engine is an available option. Torque is communicated to the street through the standard five-speed manual gearbox or the optional six-speed PowerShift automatic transmission.

Inside, things are just as expressive. The cell phone-inspired dashboard and available leather steering wheel and seats amplify the modern interior and entice drivers to get in the car and get on the move. A selection of ambient lighting options allows Fiesta drivers to set just the mood they want. Also available is a new Sony HD audio/satellite radio with eight premium speakers for drivers to more fully appreciate their music.

Small is smart, with a best-in-class suite of technologies and features that give drivers the perfect blend of a connected world and an untethered driving experience. A new MyFord Touch® system with 6.5-inch touch screen that features enhanced voice control is now available, providing drivers more options than ever for navigation, communication and entertainment functions.

Fiesta still features SYNC® AppLink™ capabilities pioneered on the first Fiesta, which allows drivers to access and control Ford-approved smartphone apps with voice commands and vehicle controls while on the go, helping drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Turn-by-turn navigation remains part of SYNC Services.

Ford’s MyKey® is a new feature on Fiesta, which enables parents in particular to encourage safer driving and limit their teenagers’ exposure to risk at the wheel. The system allows owners to configure maximum speed and audio volume limits. It also mutes audio until seat belts are fastened and ensures driver aids, safety systems and more vigorous alerts cannot be deactivated when used.
