Driving the 2011 North American Ford Fiesta
I was in San Francisco for the launch of the 2011 Ford Fiesta. We did a bunch of twisty back-road driving; an autocross; and an avoidance maneuver exercise. We even got to drive it back to back against a Honda Fit Sport and ... a Yaris five door! The Yaris was an auto on the skinny 185/60/15 tires, so of the three cars, it had the least grip. I'm very impressed by the Fiesta; it's a heck of a subcompact. Yeah, there are some things I don't love, but overall, this should be a home run for Ford. http://www.subcompactculture.com/201...rd-fiesta.html
