Driving the 2011 North American Ford Fiesta - Toyota Yaris Forums

bkrownd · 04-26-2010, 06:44 PM

I thought about waiting to try the new (for us) Fiesta, but in the end decided to overcome my normal procrastination mode and get something bought ASAP. Ford should have had this in the US market 4 years ago. Also, it looks a bit racy, and around here auto theft by joyriding kids is a big concern.

I wonder why the 1.6 liter fiesta has a higher MPG rating than the 1.5 liter Yaris? (38 vs 36) It would be interesting to know how MPG would compare IRL on my 45-55MPH rural roads, rather than the standard test setup.

Zip 55104 =

I was long blessed to inhabit 55110, 55127 and 55433.
