Despite its small size, the Fiesta has a lot packed under the hood, just waiting for people to step in. And just like its namesake, the Ford Fiesta has been familiar with many drivers all over the world for this sense of liveliness. With the release of the 2011 Fiesta, Ford aims to continue the trend that has endeared the car to so many people around the world. And to make it even better, Ford has actually upped the ante and added new features to the Fiesta that will surely be liked by both old and new drivers.

Here, Ford's Duratec petrol and Duratorq diesel engines provides adequate power to the wheels.

And its performance here is a rather good proof of its ability to handle everyday city travel. The car's interior is rather spacy, which is ideal for a small family car. However, one thing that might worry you a bit is the amount of storage space available, as it is not that large., though it will still fit in more of your gear. For tech heads, the dashboard will certainly be a nice thing to look at. Instead of cluttered dials and panels, Ford opted to put in a multifunction display instead. The controls for the audio system are also rather easy to understand and use. Also, if you are getting the US model (which is being sold for the first time) then you will be lucky, as it comes with Ford Sync, which gives you voice control of all the inboard functions.
