2011 Ford Fiesta Test Drive - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thirty-Nine · 06-08-2009, 02:32 PM

FYI, I had the opprotunity to drive the 2011 Ford Fiesta. It was a very nice little car. Full report below:

nice write-up

looking forward to seeing them in real life

Didn't read your write-up yet, but that's one ugly car - it may be just the ugly graphics that ruin it - but it's a bit too long IMHO.

Thirty-Nine · 06-08-2009, 05:47 PM

Maybe it's just the graphics. It's about the same size as the Yaris ...

bdc87 · 06-08-2009, 05:58 PM

Paint it Silver, Give it Black Wheels, Blackout Windows, Tails, Give it Black Projectors it would look alot better.

maybe you should read the article...

I can't wait to test one of these out. Now if only they'd bring the Focus ST to North America I'd be a happy man.

Great write up.

Thirty-Nine · 06-08-2009, 07:53 PM

Thanks.

Like I said in the article, until you get up next to a car, it's hard to get a real idea of size. But trust me: The Fiesta is nothing near huge. FYI, my car is lowered on coilovers, yet the Fiesta's roofline is a about the same if not a bit lower.

HTM Yaris · 06-08-2009, 08:23 PM

The car looks nice . The wheels are hideous . Nice write up BTW

marcus · 06-08-2009, 08:25 PM

awaiting for fiesta rs or focus rs.. wondering if theyre coming to canada

kngrsll · 06-08-2009, 09:19 PM

that car will give the yaris and fit a serious run for its money!

marcus · 06-08-2009, 09:25 PM

looks like a b200 benz if u ask me.

yaris-me · 06-09-2009, 03:06 AM

Looks good and good write up.

I've been very interested in the new Fiesta since seeing drawings a few years ago. When GM brought the Opel/Vauxhall Astra over here, I thought they had a winner, but the lousy engine we wound up getting killed it for me. Hopefully Ford won't ruin the domestic version we will get over here. Thanks for passing along the article.

the astra needed a redline version w/ the 2L ecotec from the new line of SS's similiar to the vxr.....woulda been hot hot hot

Thirty-Nine · 06-09-2009, 12:22 PM

There's a bit of me that hopes GM will bring over the Opel Corsa, the Astra's smaller cousin. Corsa vs. Fiesta would be interesting ...
