2015 Ford Fiesta
2015 Ford Fiesta Exterior
The 2015 Ford Fiesta is blessed with strong styling that doesn’t overdo it by trying to be too cool, whether you choose the four-door sedan or five-door hatchback configuration. The latter is being positioned as the primary model, which makes clear Ford’s intentions to sell the Fiesta as a hot hatch. And as befits its sportier dynamics, the Fiesta ST looks even more aggressive.
