Car Profiles - Ford Fiesta Sedan

FORD FIESTA SEDAN

Last year's make-over gave the Fiesta lots of changes, with the notable one being a 1.5L engine that had replace the 1.4L and 1.6L of yesteryear. An Aston Martin face comes standard that you'll need some time to appreciate it but the driving feel still remains.

The Good: Handles great, another Euro feel at mass market prices.
The Bad: Tight back seat and a styling that's a bit awkward.

Price Range: P698,000-P868,000
