In all honesty after getting this car, it is actually a lot of fun. The handling is like that of a go-kart and the size of the engine, the 1.6L 4-cylinder SE trim, is perfect for the light weight of the car. Big fun for a small price.

It's actually one of our favorite transmissions. If we had to give up a stick, it's the transmission we'd go with. You just have to get used to the way they function and shift through the gears. Some manufacturers do a better job than others. Volkswagen and Audi do one of the best DSG in the business.

It's sad that the clutch seal is causing such problems for this car. I have a 2014 SE with the Powershift DCT and I absolutely love it. It's so lively and fun to drive when you want it to be, but not a chore in stop and go commute traffic. I love love love the feel of the DCT. Yes I've had the clutch replaced due to the bad seal just like everyone, but that was 40,000 miles ago and it's been smooth as butter ever since. Once Ford works out that seal, it'll be a perfect subcompact!

I disagree about the interior. I'm a 6'2 guy and I had no problem feeling comfortable in the Fiesta. I even test drove the Fiesta (granted it was a 2012 model but still) and I had no problem feeling comfortable in the drivers seat. I didn't even have to adjust the seat. I did sit in the backseat to to see how it feels while it is a somewhat small, it's not so painfully small that it's useless.

I had a 2010 versa hatch...I chose it over the fit due to price and the limo rear seat. Problem was the versa sucked on the freeway. Very darty and hard to keep straight in your lane. It also developed a nasty piston slap issue last year at 38k miles. I hired an atty and got together with Nissan consumer affairs and they released me from my loan and took the car back. I currently drive a 2001 Mercedes e320 but just test drove a manual fiesta. WOW what a sporty driving car! Tiny rear seat which sucks but drives like my Mercedes on the freeway.

Hello everyone. I am 35, married, with 3 children and want to buy my first car. I was thinking on buying a 2007 Nissan Versa, a 2010 Ford Fiesta or a 2010 Chevrolet Sonic but here in Dominican Republic most of the people I’ve asked tell me that I should go either for a 2005-2007 Toyota (Camry/Corolla) or a 2005-2007 Honda (Accord/Civic) and discard any other alternatives that I might think of. Which other options (brand, model and year) would you recommend? My budget is 330,000 RD$ (5,790 US$). My wife and I barely go out and we plan on using the vehicle mainly to go out of town and buy groceries two or three times a month, and maybe the occasional visit to her parents’ house once a month.
