Since officially becoming a Floridian, it has been a priority of mine to explore as much of this beautiful state as possible. So, when I was contacted to test drive the sporty 1.0-Liter EcoBoost Ford Fiesta I was ecstatic. This would give me an opportunity to not only do more site-seeing, but to do it in a very stylish, turbocharged, economical car. This sporty little thing gets 37MPG (city and hwy combined) and 2.7 gallons per 100 miles. Amazing right?!?!?! Yes, I couldn’t agree more!!!
On the day it was scheduled to be dropped off I was super excited and had everything planned: Labor Day Weekend ü Cool Fuel Economy Car ü Cruising alongside the Beach ü Coffee Date with Blogger Buddy ü Shopping ü The Car is Manual! WHAT???
Me, not being well-versed in car, didn’t realize that manual meant “stick shift”. After a mild anxiety attack, I pulled it together and grabbed my thinking cap. At that moment, Sam, the maintenance guy, turned the corner and agreed to teach me to drive the car.

I couldn’t and still can’t believe that I learned to drive it in only 45 minutes. I have to pat myself on the back and give major kudos to Sam, but none of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for the Ford Fiesta’s innovative technology. The gears shift very smoothly, the clutch disengages easily and the car reverses effortlessly, making learning to drive a breeze. So needless to say, my Ford Fiesta experience was slightly delayed, but it didn’t come to a complete halt.
To be totally honest, although I was extremely excited, I was also extremely nervous the first day I drove the car. However, the more I drove the more it started to feel very natural, and in only a few days it became second nature.
To say the least, I had a great time making my way all over South Florida doing the things I love most. But what made it epic was that I also learned a very valuable life skill, making this a completely unforgettable experience.
I would absolutely recommend the Ford Fiesta. In my opinion this car would fit the lifestyle of college students, first time purchasers and those who are looking for a sporty, yet economical car, such as myself. 🙂
