How to Compare Prices for New Ford Fiesta Cars

The Ford Fiesta is a subcompact car that will enter the North American automobile market in 2010. It is a sporty vehicle available as a sedan or hatchback and has some similar style traits to the larger Ford Focus. The Fiesta will compete with cars such as the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris. Before you head to a Ford dealership to buy a Fiesta, you should know how to compare prices on these vehicles.

Instructions

1

Use a car research site to compare prices for a new Ford Fiesta. Once the vehicle is available, you can go to Cars.com and enter your zip code. You can then look at prices offered on Fiesta vehicles by Ford dealers in your area. For now, US News Rankings and Reviews has some expected pricing information for the new Fiesta.

2

Look at the type of engine when comparing prices. The Fiesta initially will feature a 118-horsepower, 1.6-liter gas engine. A diesel engine is available in Europe, and if it is introduced in the U.S. in the future you can expect to pay more.

3

Review the type of transmission. The Fiesta has both five-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions available. The manual transmission will cost less.

4

Compare the features offered. Some available options will include Sync, a voice-automated GPS system, and the Turbo Kit, which improves horsepower. Many of the electronics upgrades will add value to the vehicle, especially the GPS, Sony Audio and Bluetooth systems.

5

Consider the trim packages. Adding 17-inch aluminum wheels and performance-tuned suspension will affect the price you pay on your new Fiesta.
