The car is really good at communicating to you how its doing. The low center of gravity compliments it very well. Comparing it to the Fiesta ST the FWD in it feels like your cheating on a test. You can push it into a corner just a bit over how fast you should and it feels like your suddenly RWD.
I don't know much about the specific model but Ford makes quality cars and they have better pricing than other manufacturers. You really cannot go wrong with any car manufacture these days. There was a time when Japanese manufacturing stood abive the rest but not anymore. Korean cars such as Kia and Hyundai are an exceptional value these days. I don't know about typical used car prices in the U.S., but $7300 for a Ford Fiesta with that mileage seems quite steep to me. In terms of reliability, Fiesta from that generation are reliable if and only if they have the manual transmission. The PowerShift automatic is garbage, don't buy it. The manual is perfectly fine. I have a Stratified stage 1 tune on my car and it's great, but I've heard good things about Dizzy too. The one mechanical change you might want to make is one step colder spark plugs, but if you drive in a lot of traffic or low-load driving then you could very easily foul colder plugs, so think about whether doing that is compatible with your Traded it in last year for a 2019 automatic SE and man, still a fun ride.

Generally what is recommended on this sub is to buy a lightly used car with 5-15k miles and a manufacturer warranty as
