Great Top Gear segment. Skip to about 4:20 if you just wanna see the fiesta vs. vette part and don't care about the review of the fiesta.

Looks to be a great little car

Without a doubt Jeremy is my favorite stuck up British snob.

Yeah, Ford's really hit the nail on the head with this thing it looks like. If you think the Vette in the shopping mall was great, check out section two with the Fiesta storming the beaches of, well, somewhere.

Kinda disappointed to hear the real (lack of) revs. The Vette was at idle most of the time...

Ford should simply use segments of this piece as their Fiesta ad campaign.

Yesterday I started watching some Top Gear episodes yesterday. I have never seen a bigger group of American Car haters! Their reviews are completely biased. At one point they were trying to make a point on how English cars handle better than American cars. They actually had a Lotus Exige vs. a stock S197 Mustang GT! Talk about a ridiculous apples to oranges comparison! I am pretty sure they will put a stock S197 Mustang vs. a Ferrari 458 then comment, "Yes thoughs Americans have some work to do!" Just a complete joke that show! At one point I saw a review of a Subaru WRX . . . . the host actually commented on how the Exhaust of this "wet Farter" was wonderful sounding! Need we say more!

You're taking Top Gear too seriously.

Jeremy will pretty much criticize any car that's not an Aston Martin. James will criticize anything that's not British or boring (or both) and Richard is different, he actually likes American cars.
