All the reviews I've read point towards the Fiesta being best in class. Wheels magazine and the Australia's Best Cars awards seem to think so.I personally find it to be a real drivers car with superb handling and feedback for a FWD. The build quality is amongst the best I've seen in the light class and even tops a few mid-sizers. You just can't go past the Germans for that. My biggest gripes are the average stereo (which may have been fixed with the facelift) and a lack of power. But I would say that after owning a Falcon. The engine note in the Fiesta is wild with none of the top end rattle I've seen in Japanese and Korean cars.
There are cars with more options crammed into them, (like the new Barina - formerly Daewoo Kalos), but if you want to enjoy your driving, the Fiesta kicks ***.
