The winners of the 2011 About.com Car Reader’s Choice Awards have been announced. About.com had asked their readers to nominate and vote for which cars they thought were the best choice in five different categories. The categories were Best Family Car, Best Compact Car, Best Car for Teens, Best Car Under $16,000 and Best New or Redesigned Car for 2011.
We are proud to announce that the 2011 Ford Fiesta was the winner of Best Car for Teens. The Fiesta beat out the Kia Soul, Subaru Impreza and Honda Civic. The Ford Focus rounded out the top 5 but taking fifth place. About.com cites the reason why they believe the Fiesta won is because of its fuel efficiency and “cheeky attitude”.
The Fiesta also placed in a couple other categories. In the category of Best Compact Car, the Fiesta took second just behind the Mazda 3. In the category of Best Car Under $16,000, the Fiesta again came in second. The Mazda 2 took first.
With the Fiesta rated as best-in-class fuel economy averaging 29 city/40 highway MPG, it’s not hard to figure out why the Fiesta was a voter favorite. Now more than ever, rising fuel prices will impact customer’s buying decisions.
Perhaps next year, the 2012 Focus will be the new winner, dominating most of the categories.
