2011 vs 2012 Differences

[guruguys]

I see a lot of 2012 threads, but I can't seem to see one that summarizes all the differences between the two years. Can someone direct me in the right direction, or perhaps start one here?

TIA!

2. Driver's seat armrest
3. Premium Exterior Sport Package available for SES

I believe the interior package - at least - is also on SEL. Hatchbacks are not the only Fiesta model.

My car arrives on the 9th (it's only an SE though) so I will see if my friend (with a 2011 SEL) and I can hook up and spot any differences.

In the meantime:

Compare 2012 Ford Fiesta vs 2011 Ford Fiesta - Kelley Blue Book

Ignore the photos, which are of an S and not an SES. My first run-through finds only a slightly larger gas tank, assuming that is accurate.

I don't think that anything else has changed besides the aforementioned trims & new armrest.

EDIT: Also, there is a way to turn of TC in the 2012 model.

Also, vol control on steering? I believe!

I don't think so. I think there were photos of a real one and the photos everyone were excited about were only production concepts.

TBH I didn't see what everyone was talking about - I look at the pictures and the steering wheel didn't look different to me

How? Prove it.

I think we're all missing the most important and glaring difference. It's a year newer.
