Thinking of buying the 2012 Ford Fiesta?

A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 617 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, structure and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The 1.6L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 7.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 22 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.32 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the Fiesta suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Fiesta answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Fiesta on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Ready to ask?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
