5 reasons to buy the 2014 Ford Fiesta
1. Dynamic driving
One of the reasons why the Ford Fiesta is great to drive is that it’s nimble and easily maneuverable. The base model of the 2014 Ford Fiesta is powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder engine that generates 120 hp and 112 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a standard five-speed manual transmission. With this powertrain, the Fiesta is quick enough for a subcompact. It takes the 2014 Ford Fiesta nine seconds to go from zero to 60 mph, and thanks to the precise manual transmission, delivers a smooth driving experience.
2. Stylish cabin
The interior of the 2014 Ford Fiesta is another strong point that makes it stand out from the crowd. The cabin is well-designed with attention to detail such as a dash top lined with soft-touch materials, along with metallic accents. A glossy black trim is also standard. This is a kind of environment that gives the impression of riding in an upscale cabin, even though the Fiesta's focus is more on practicality.
3. Plenty of room for passengers
The cabin of the 2014 Ford Fiesta is spacious and offers ample room for passengers. There is 39.1 inches and 37.1 inches of front and rear headroom, respectively. Plus there's space to stretch out with front legroom measuring 42.2 inches, while those in the back get 31.2 inches of legroom. Most people will be fine in the back seat for shorter trips but tall adults should call shot gun.
4. Convenient storage area
As far as storage is concerned, the 2014 Ford Fiesta has enough space for your typical daily hauling needs. The sedan comes with a 12.8-cu-ft trunk, whereas the hatchback has 14.9 cu-ft of space behind the rear seats. The hatchback’s capacity further increases to 25.4 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. Inside the cabin, there are a couple of small storage bins, in addition to centrally placed cup holders in the front.
5. Good mileage
Rounding out the whole package for the 2014 Ford Fiesta is its good gas mileage. This is a practical fuel-sipping option, so it’s a great choice if you regularly clock up the mile. With the base 1.6L four-cylinder engine and the five-speed manual transmission, it gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined.
