characters driving the Fiesta was in the middle - not hard and not soft - and not make us complain. Wheel, surprisingly, very light when the car ran at a speed lace or parking maneuver. Taste steering wheel like this is very favored by women. However, when the car moved fast, the characters become heavy wheel change, though not as much and feels less solid.
The interior is modern and sprotif impressed. Equipped with steering wheel audio controls. You can also enjoy the songs stored on the iPod by integrating it into the USB port.
Comfortable driver's seat was occupied and the driver can get an ideal driving position. But, we could be bothered to enforce the driver's seat, lay back because they have to be operated via the play button located on the right side of the seat.
Wait a minute, we were interested in tersajinya some storage in the cabin Fiesta. We are very pleased with the presence of a drawer under the front seat, a handy store bags or shoes.
Overall, the Fiesta S is a interesting choice.
