We have always been a bit confused with Ford. The Detroit born automaker has become a huge sensation in Europe. One example of this old world takeover was the Mondeo. This sedan was so intensely popular that it spawned a new nickname, ’Mondeo Man’. Have you ever seen a Ford here in the United States that was that popular? We think not.
There are more examples of this as well. The Fiesta, Focus, Ka, and the ever famous Transit van have been dominating the European market for ages. Finally, with some persuasion, Ford is going to bring a few of those wonderful models to the United States.
The Fiesta has been in the shadows for most if its pre-release life. Ford has decided to attack the young audience with Facebook pages and all of that other nonsense. In our opinion, Ford needs to stop all this and get out in the mainstream, and we want to help.
So, here we have a lime-green Ford Fiesta with a five-speed manual transmission just waiting to be taken out on the roads, and we were more than happy to oblige. Yet, who wants a normal review, those are so dull. Awaiting the Fiesta was the gang of small hatchbacks that have already established there turf; the Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, and the Honda Fit. Now we have a proper test on our hands.
Hit the jump to keep reading.

If we had told you that Batman was trading in his swanky Batmobile in an effort to curb his fuel consumption, only to settle on something like this, then you probably are within your rights to officially disown the Caped Crusader as your favorite superhero.
Now, we’re not at all condemning the owner of this Toyota Yaris for his somewhat ridiculous attempt at converting his little hatchback into the Batmobile. Actually, we’re giving him props for his courageousness in driving this car, proving that his level of shame is nowhere near the vicinity of ours.
Then again, we have to call a spade a spade. We’ve seen a lot of wannabee Batmobiles recently, but this one’s got its own place in our Hall of Shame, not only for its disturbing appearance - the fake exhaust, the poorly constructed wings, and that weird "Heroes for Christ" tag on the car’s rear are a few that come to mind - but for being allowed out on the streets in the first place.
We dare you to check the photos. If for nothing else, to get a good laugh out of it.
