3. Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta is Ford’s supermini car and has been in production since 1976. Currently in its 7th generation, the Ford Fiesta has sold over 16.5 million units making it one of Ford’s best selling models, behind only the Escort and F-Series pickups. Originally developed under the name “Bobcat,” the Fiesta’s development costs were targeted to be $100 less than the current Escort. In 1999, the Fiesta was given a minor face-lift aimed at giving it a New Edge look, with a Focus inspired face, new bumpers, wheel designs, and a 1.6i 16v Zetec engine. 2006 saw the second face-lift for the Fiesta car line, with many cosmetic changes and new technology like power folding mirrors, automatic windshield wipers, voice controlled Bluetooth, and MP3 player connectivity.
