Though some are let down by its confusing tech features and small back seat, critics agree that the 2015 Ford Fiesta offers nimble driving dynamics and a high-quality interior.

The 2015 Ford Fiesta comes with a four-cylinder engine that reviewers say provides adequate power in most situations, though some say the engine strains during highway passing and merging. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the base Fiesta, and a six-speed automatic is optional. Critics agree that the Fiesta’s optional turbocharged three-cylinder engine provides strong acceleration and great fuel economy, while the high-performance Fiesta ST comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that offers exceptional power. The EPA reports that the base 2015 Fiesta gets 28/36 mpg city/highway, which is pretty good for the class. Meanwhile, the three-cylinder Fiesta gets an excellent 31/43 mpg city/highway. The Fiesta earns praise for its controlled highway ride and accurate steering. Additionally, some auto writers say that the Fiesta’s nimble handling makes it a standout among subcompact cars.

Critics remark that the 2015 Fiesta has an attractive, well-built cabin that features a mix of soft-touch materials and hard plastics. They write that the Fiesta’s front seats are spacious and comfortable, though some report that the Fiesta’s back seat is confining, even for a subcompact car. The Ford Fiesta is available as a sedan or a hatchback, and while reviewers note that the Fiesta sedan offers ample trunk space for the class, many say that the Fiesta hatchback has less overall cargo space than a number of competitors. Test drivers write that it can be difficult to pair a phone with the Fiesta’s base audio system, and that the stereo’s controls are confusing and difficult to reach. As a result, some recommend the available MyFord Touch infotainment system, saying that it is much easier to use. The 2015 Fiesta comes standard with power door locks and Ford’s voice-activated Sync system, which includes a USB port and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Available features include cruise control, power windows, keyless entry and ignition, a moonroof, the MyFord Touch infotainment system with a 6.5-inch touch screen, navigation, leather upholstery, heated front seats and a review camera.
"Affordable to buy, cheap to operate and entertaining to drive are three of our primary criteria for a desirable economy car, and the 2015 Ford Fiesta has no problem scoring high on each. A classier-than-expected interior and fully up-to-date infotainment equipment only underscore our feeling that the Fiesta is a subcompact car that punches well above its price class." -- Edmunds
"The 2015 Ford Fiesta offers up great fuel economy, modern build quality and higher-end interior materials, and a slew of modern features, all wrapped up in some of the most stylish subcompact clothes we've ever seen. It does this while keeping a competitive price against its peers." -- Kelley Blue Book
"Developed for Europe before launching in the U.S. with upgrades to bring it in line with local regulations and tastes, Ford's Fiesta subcompact has a more premium feel than its modest price tag would suggest. While its quirky dual-clutch automatic transmission and limited rear seat/cargo space mean it won't be perfect for everyone, the Fiesta does impress with sporty driving dynamics and a boatload of available technology and comfort features." -- Left Lane News
"Therein lies the most beautiful part about the Fiesta ST package: It hits a really sweet spot in the US market. If you don't really need the space of the somewhat larger B-segment hatches, you don't have to get it. Save your money and have just as much fun in the Fiesta, if not more." -- Autoblog (2014)
"If the Fiesta's excellent fuel economy, technical competency and many features aren't enough for you, we think the price tag will seal the deal." -- MSN (2012)
