GF has a 2012 Blue Candy Fiesta SE 5-speed and LOVES it ... she averages about 37-38 mpg with it, the thing's rated for 38 mpg HIGHWAY ... lol
We've seen as high as about 45mpg with me driving it on a 250-mile trip, with the cruise set at about 64-65mph, A/C on, and 3 of us in the car including her 5-year-old daughter, so really, about 2 and a half ... LOL
I've tried to talk her into some mods, but she doesn't care enough, plus bigger tires = less mpg's and she won't have that.

I had a 2011 fiesta and really loved it. I made the mistake one day of driving a 2012 5.0 mustang.. I bought the mustang a few days later. Now im thinking of get another 2011 because of the flame blue.

Also great on gas, easy on maintenance, cheap to insure, and very safe since she'd have her daughter in the car a lot.
The morning that she texted me that she was considering the Fiesta, I didn't even reply, I shot right for the Sales desk (I was working at a Ford dealership at the time), and I asked if we had any stick-shift Fiestas, since that tends to be the harder feature to find than the other things she wanted.
They said, yes, we do, it'd a hatchback, and it's blue
A few days later it was hers
