Non-ST Fiesta sedan is UGLY

[Capri to ST]

I saw one today, 4 doors with a weird malformed trunk hanging off the back, have you guys seen that thing? It made me very glad the ST version is the 5-door hatchback, which I think is a good-looking car.

It truly is hideous.

Agreed, the trunk is way too long to look good on the sedan.

Agreed - I don't think that they're even sold outside of the USDM market.

Ford Marketing department must agree with you. There's a fair amount of marketing images on the website, but when it comes to the ass, all but two are of the hatch. Not butt ugly, just too ugly to show the butt...

I suspect the design was just trying to maximize useful space internally. For a small car, the inside has a bigger feel.

There's a black standard fiesta hatchback that parks near me at work. What amazes me is how small it looks without rear wing and lower cladding. ST is like a hunched up cat.

If one good thing comes out of the discontinuation of the american Fiesta it would be that the sedan dies with it.

As ugly as it may be. It was a cheap car that actually could fit people i the back seat. The st/hatch cant fit hardly anyone in the back seat

Whoever designed this POS should be tarred and feathered and run out of Ford on a rail; it's an eyesore, gets bad reviews for quality, including all kinds of transmission issues, etc. I came up behind one in town last week, then pulled to the side of it at the next red light. The guy had the audacity to think he could take my FiST of the line...left him in the TX dust with a curt wave of my hand just to make his day...lol.

Just be glad we don't have to get that body style to get the great ST package.

HA! I've thought the same thing!

Except they are exactly the same for rear seating dimensions....

Good info. Maybe it just looks smaller

 

[prograded]

And uglier

Edit: the sedan, obviously

I was somewhat kidding. It isn't exactly Nissan Juke or Pontiac Asstec... I mean Aztek ugly...

The side profile isn't bad I think it's just the bloated rear window, which contrasts the rear; somewhat hinting of a set of buns squeezed tight.

The sedan actually was a better seller than the hatch body style. Most non enthusiast people view the hatch body style as cheap, down market and less pleasant to ride in, because of the exposed cargo area. I like the sedan because it will be providing the repair sheetmetal for most of the future Fiestas that I will be buying.

It's a bean only it's owner would love and that's me. No one will suspect it's true nature.

A few years ago when I was on a biz trip, the rental agency had one so I booked it out of curiosity. What a POS it was; that auto transmission was horrendous; terrible driving/handling experience compared to the FiST.

That disgusting rear overhang on the fiesta sedan goes on for days. That's one of two things that impressed me about the fiesta sedan and the other is just how goddamn terrible it is.

A Focus sedan it is not . Those actually are decent looking. The Fiesta sedan is just ugly and I would never own one.
