The Fiesta, a mainstay of Ford's lineup since 2011, is a small sedan/hatchback with seating up to 5. Exceeding the average MPG (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and the carbon footprint. The Fiesta has offered Apple CarPlay since 2017. Ford offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.
The 2011 Ford Fiesta is very unsafe compared to all vehicles.
Comparison to all vehicles. This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2011 Ford Fiesta has a score of 54, implying a 0.076% chance of driver death (6.8% chance of injury).
We estimate that the 2011 Ford Fiesta has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0757% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 8.6453%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0757% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 8.6453% chance of being injured.
