| But let's say you want to hit multiple marks simultaneously. I want: - Comfortable for large people to sit in (I'm 190cm tall). - Can carry a decent number of people (five being a minimum, more is better... this is why I rejected the Volt as my last car). - Can carry a decent amount of cargo in addition to 5+ people (this is why I rejected the Ford C-MAX). - Good fuel efficiency. Prius-level fuel efficiency at a minimum, pure electric is better. - Good reliability. (Generally the case for most options out there these days, but still important.) - Good crash safety. - Fun to drive. - Affordable. I'm not too familiar with the Fiesta, but from what I know, it'll hit three of these (fun, reliable, affordable). My last car was a Prius v, which mostly hit all of them except for "fun" (comfort was a bit marginal, there was more than enough room but the seating position was a bit awkward for the driver). When I could afford it, I moved up to the Model S, which hits all marks except for "affordable," and hits most of them better: I can carry 7 people if two of them are small (and they usually are), fuel efficiency is way better, crash safety is among the best, and it's a ton of fun to drive. It is insanely expensive, and I wish it were cheaper so more people could buy them. But to me, it's worth it. |
