It’s funny how sedans look strange to some folks here while the three-door hatchback seems unusual where I’m from.

If the person who posted this had the hatchback, they might not even need the roof box or trailer.

Wait, are you talking about a Fiesta sedan or using a trailer and roof rack with it?

Most cars sold in the US are sedans. I wish more hatchbacks were available. I love them, but the dealer didn’t have a single one when I got mine.

I think the sedan version might only be available in the US. Maybe some parts of Eastern Europe have it too, but I’m not entirely sure.

I showed it to some Polish guys, a Romanian, and a Bulgarian, and they all said, ‘A Fiesta saloon? What?!’

It looks so different compared to the ones we have here in the UK!

I can’t get used to seeing a Fiesta as a sedan. It’s like someone stuck a Fiesta front end onto a Mondeo body.

They don’t call it a Mondeo here. It’s a Fusion. And please, call it a saloon, not a sedan, haha.

@Lyonnel
Isn’t the Fusion that odd lifted Fiesta-like car from the 2000s?

You know, the one you’d see in Spain while on holiday and think, ‘What is that?’ Like those Clio models with boots.

@Lyonnel
Spain? Nah, I see those quite a bit here in the UK too.

How did you even get a trailer on that? I drove 3,000 miles recently and spent about $350 on gas.

Nice pics. Looks like a fun trip .

How did you get a trailer hooked up to your Fiesta? I have a 2013 SE, and everything I’ve found says it’s not possible. No tow capacity, no hitch hookup… nothing. So frustrating .

I got the hitch at AutoZone. The model is Curt 11369 for the sedan. They ordered it for me, and it arrived the next day. Took me only 15 minutes to install.
