Thinking of buying the 2012 Ford Fiesta?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 Ford Fiesta for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2012 Ford Fiesta in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Fiesta
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
The 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 7.3 L/100 km: about 22 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $33.96 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Living with the Fiesta
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the Fiesta answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Which one to look for
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $113.20 at our price setting.
Over to you
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
