Interior

Open the door, and right away you'll notice that Ford put a lot of hard work into making sure the Fiesta has a solid, quality build. Ford says the center-console was inspired by cell-phones and once you get in one you'll see exactly what we mean. However, instead of the cell-phone inspired interior design, it's the list of features and options the Fiesta comes with that steal all of your attention. Yes, it's got Bluetooth connectivity, an iPod/MP3 USB connector, satellite radio and basically every feature that seem to have become the "things to offer" in every other car.

Inside, it's a brave new world of exciting forms and quality materials. The main instruments are set in a metallicized "binoculars" shroud, and the center-stack controls, arrayed on a canted surface, mimic the button layout of a cellphone. Just about anyone could be comfortable up front, with height-adjustable seats that firmly hold your torso, ample head room and a tilt/telescope column that presents a 3-spoke wheel whose beveled and shaped rim is an exercise in tactile reward.

The rest of the Fiesta's cabin is finished in a manner that is also beyond the entry-level norm. The materials are rich and the fit and finish is up there with that of more expensive cars. The interior highlight, however, is the centre stack. It is designed in such a way that all the buttons fall within a single hand span yet are large enough to operate when wearing gloves. Pushing one of the main function buttons brings up the chosen command on a small screen that sits atop the stack. It is a clever setup that’s a snap to master and equally easy to use. Many of the menu items can also be accessed through voice control. This last also allows a cellphone to be paired for hands-free operation.
