What a difference a day makes. From the disappointing Kia Forte yesterday, to this impressive Euro-spec Ford Fiesta today. Although there is no denying the Fiesta is an econocar, several elements make it fun to drive, such as its nice exhaust note, a decent-shifting 5-speed manual, laterally supportive and comfy seats and a thick-rim steering wheel. Power is only so-so, and the brakes are overly sensitive with a mushy pedal feel.
