2011 Ford Fiesta SES
2011 Ford Fiesta SES Editor's Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Ford's Fiesta is a fantastic driver, with excellent composure, a comfortable ride, and satisfying handling in an economical package.

With so much buzz about the Fiesta over the past year and a half, you'd almost forget that the car is actually a typical small hatchback. The engine isn't terribly powerful, although it has a 20-hp advantage over Mazda's mechanically similar Mazda 2. I'm looking forward to sampling the dual-clutch transmission on another Fiesta later this year, but I suspect that the manual transmission will still be the enthusiast's choice for the Fiesta.
