Frankfort Ford fans get ready, the Fiesta is coming. As Ford’s new entry-level model, the Fiesta has been gaining steam as this season’s upcoming HOT car. Early reviews suggest that one simple thing is powering the momentum: fun. Shelbyville used cars are usually not very fun to drive. However, those willing to take the plunge with the Fiesta will be in for a real treat. Gone are the days when buying a small, inexpensive car means you are stuck with a boring ride.

Another major positive of the Fiesta is the opportunity to choose between a sedan and a hatchback. Some people prefer the utility and cargo space of a hatchback, while others would rather have the more traditional look of a sedan. With either of the two options, drivers are in for a smooth ride with responsive handling. Even better, the cabin is surprisingly quiet even at high speeds. And even though you won’t be shelling out a ton of money for the Fiesta (starting at $13,320), there are still some luxury options such as keyless ignition and voice command recognition.

All in all, there will be plenty of options for potential owners in Frankfort. Ford Fiesta buyers will have five different trim options to choose from: three for the sedan and two for the hatchback. The list of options for the sedan range from the bare bones S version (no power windows or locks, AM/FM only) to the high class SEL (power everything, premium sound system, satellite radio, voice command, navigation, etc). The hatchback offers a midline SE version and the upgraded SES. And even with all those options, there are still other customizable features, such as a “Super Fuel Economy Package” that uses small aerodynamic modifications to help maximize fuel consumption.

In Shelbyville, used cars are as popular as ever. However, Ford’s Fiesta will certainly give some consumers a reason to think twice before finalizing their next purchase. We can say without reservation that the Fiesta is the most fun to drive of all the cars in its class. Go ahead, give it a test drive. We dare you. Even driving around in bumper to bumper traffic is a fun experience in the Fiesta.
