The North American , which is built in Cuautitl\u00E1n Izcalli, Mexico, actually has stiffer suspension settings than its European counterpart. But before you get all excited that we&amp;#039;re finally getting a better car than the Euros, realize the minimal changes are simply to compensate for our car&amp;#039;s extra 120 lb. or so of heft/safety equipment, and the taller, softer sidewalls of our 16-in. all-season tires (Euro models come with summer tires).   The result is a car that feels just a tick less nimble than the European Fiesta. It&amp;#039;s still fun to throw into turns, mind you, but a bit of precision is lost in the translation\u2014a good part of that undoubtedly related to the tires.   While Ford is marketing the Fiesta as a sporting compact, it might not dominate the competition as much as Ford thinks. For instance, the 5-speed manual-equipped Fiesta could only muster a 0\u201360 time of 9.7 seconds\u2014considerably slower than the (9.0 sec.), (9.1 sec.) and (8.5 sec.) from our . That&amp;#039;s also inexplicably off the pace of the Euro Fiesta used in our propulsion shootout in March; that one did 9.2. On the plus side, the Fiesta feels more substantial than its competitors, and offers a surprisingly supple ride.   Ford projects 85 percent of U.S. buyers will opt for the new 6-speed PowerShift transmission, which performs like an automatic despite its dual clutch setup. Despite quick shifts, it&amp;#039;s actually slower than the manual (0\u201360 in 9.9 sec. and the quarter in 17.5) and doesn&amp;#039;t offer any form of manual gear selection.   The 4-door Fiesta starts at $13,995; the 5-door hatchback begins at $15,695. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
