Ford Fiesta Photo Gallery

Same yowling grille as the Focus ST. So do you see a grouper or a Pokemon?

Another ST media drive, another trip to Hell and back. (Obligatory photo.)

Well done egg.

If the regular JUKE isn't out there enough for you, NISMO adds the bi-color wheels and red bits.

Aggressive rake to body side. Excellent proportions with the ST-exclusive 17-inch wheels.

The Fiesta's best angle. A large number of elements come together perfectly around the tail lamps.

If you're a dog, the Fiesta's rear quarter looks like this.

Another obligatory Hell shot.

ST treatment includes larger spoiler and diffuser. But unlike on the Focus ST no centered exhaust.

Another $595 will get you one of these eye-catching colors. I personally prefer blue on the car.

Quality materials, but I wish blue seat inserts like those in the Focus ST were offered.

Inside, NISMO adds some outstanding seats and a suede-covered steering wheel.

Nothing too crazy.

Worst implementation of MFT yet. Small, crowded, distant touch screen.

The $1,995 Recaro seats are supportive and comfortable--if you're slender enough to fit.

Even tighter back here than in a JUKE (and that's saying something). Huge Recaros don't help.

Enough cargo space for typical around-town needs, but not much else.

Even with the raised floor the seats don't fold even with it. Needs some clever engineering.

Yes, another boring cover. To see what's beneath it, check the full gallery.

Engine covers make designers lazy.

All Fiestas gained a new Fusion-like face for 2014.

Attractive egg-shape undermined by the wheel covers that replace alloys with the EcoBoost engine.

The Fiesta ST much better realizes the model's aesthetic potential.

The Honda Fit's styling is much blockier.

This green paint is a $595 option.

My favorite lines on the Fiesta are back here. Note how thoroughly the tail lamps are integrated.

The Fiesta's interior looks and feels like that of other recent Fords. Very nice for the price.

The Honda's interior, though improved for 2015, remains less upscale than the Fiesta's.

The Fiesta's instrument panel is less intrusive than the larger Focus's.

Odd controls. Perhaps they're more intuitive for European buyers?

The windshield is oddly tall and narrow. Deep instrument panel sometimes reflects in it.

Comfortable, appropriately supportive, attractively upholstered driver seat.

The Fiesta's rear seat cushion is comfortably high, but room is in short supply.

The Fit's rear seat is far roomier.

Cargo space is also barely adequate (or not, if your needs exceed mine) in the Fiesta.

The Fiesta's load floor isn't remotely flat when its rear seats are folded.

Unexpected: a three-cylinder engine that actually improves the driving experience as well as mpg.

With its rear seats folded flat, the Fit can carry over twice as much cargo as the Fiesta.
