Consumer Review Video - 2016 Ford Fiesta ST 1.6L 4 Cyl. Turbo

Common problems and easy repairs on a 2016 Fiesta

The 2016 Ford Fiesta ST is somewhat difficult to maintain. You’ll need to remove the entire bulb housing or disengage the side view mirror for access to the front turn signal lights, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Accessing the fog lights may prove problematic as you must pry back the wheel well lining in order to reach them. You must use tools while contorting your body into an awkward position to reach the cabin air filter, which will make for difficult replacements.

However, the 2016 Ford Fiesta ST has its upsides. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth won’t be a problem given the clear instructions on the touchscreen menu. The relatively open access to the brake fluid reservoir will allow you to reliably monitor the fluid levels. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, which will allow for quick removal in the event of a flat.
