Just read a very brief review from a Canadian auto critic for the Globa&Mail, Ford Canada purchased "one" Fiesta from a dealership in Holland and had an event at Ford Oakville featuring the Model T and the Fiesta.

Once again there are some sketchy (throw some more gas on the fire) remarks about the 2011 being redone,
from the article "A Ford source has been quoted as saying the car will be built down to a “price point” for North America, while Euro editions get things such as multi-function displays, tilt/telescope steering wheels, Ford's cap-less fuel filler and keyless entry with push-button start.While styling should remain essentially the same, it has been reported the interior is being redone, and possibly not in a good way. "

Here are his few words on his short test drive "The car I drove was the very neat-looking little four-door hatchback painted in a youthful bright limey green. Its snug, but not cramped, interior is very zoomy-looking too, yet functional and there's good cargo room under the hatch.

It's 1.6-litre engine and five-speed gearbox gave it a zippy feel, with handling and braking to match. It should do well here if they don't dumb it down too much."

Here are 3 other Canadian Fiesta test drive remarks from the same drive event held at Ford Oakville, Ontario
