Overall great car ruined by one huge flaw 2011 Ford Fiesta Pros and Cons A member in California, United States The PowerShift transmission is as bad as you've heard. There are definitely ways to learn how to diminish its flaws. Generally, the higher RPMs you go, the less jerkiness/heaving you experience, and the smoother the shifts are. Coming to a near-stop and then going again (e.g. a California roll) causes... |

2016 Scion iA Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Scion iA's 106-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine feels thoroughly adequate in typical daily driving. Call upon it for all its got, though, and you'll learn it hasn't got much more. The engine has a solid midrange, but not much of a top end. Running from a stop to 60 mph...

2014 Ford Fiesta SE EcoBoost Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The optional 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine doesn't produce significantly more peak power than the standard non-turbocharged 1.6-liter four: 123 vs. 120 horsepower. The Fit outpowers both, with 130. Then there are the transmissions. Both Ford engines are paired with a box that contains five tall, widely spaced ratios. Especially with...

2013 Mini John Cooper Works Clubman Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Go back a decade, and the engine of choice in a hot hatch was a high-winding four-cylinder. The Scion FR-S continues to be powered by such an engine, but it's now the exception rather than the rule. Both the Fiesta and the Mini benefit from turbocharging. Their engines' peak power...

2014 Nissan Versa Note Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Even among subcompacts, the Nissan Versa Note's 109-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine ranks as weak. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) does what it can to compensate, taking the engine up near its power peak then holding it there when called upon to scoot. But holding the engine's speed constant as the... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Ford Fiesta |

2014 Ford Fiesta ST Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh There's less power and torque on tap in the Fiesta ST than in the Focus ST, 197 vs. 252 horsepower and 202 vs. 270 lb-ft of torque. The Fiesta ST's steering wheel tugs this way and that under hard accleration, but the tugs are weaker than in the Focus ST.... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Nissan JUKE |
Best choice at the time. 2011 Ford Fiesta Pros and Cons Member5263 Coming from a manual, the shifts are smooth. Its not a slushbox but it moves when pushed and has less trouble figuring out what gear to be in than I do in emergency situations, and I've been driving a manual for over 30 years. |

2011 Ford Fiesta Pros and Cons Member4991 The ride and handling cry for the addition of an Ecoboost motor option in this car.(Ford Fiesta ST perhaps?) |

2011 Ford Fiesta Pros and Cons Member4611 Quick accelleration, maintains highway speeds and passes cars on highway with incredible ease. I do not feel like the proverbial 98-pound-weakling driving this car on the highway! |
