I didn't do extensive testing of the stereo on my test drives, however I did plug in my iPod and turned up a "bassy" song. Compared to the system in my car with 100W amped 6.5" component speakers on a decent Pioneer head unit, as well as an 8" sub, I wasn't expecting it to sound as good as it did. That being said, it could still use a real subwoofer just to get the low lows (an 8" would be plenty enough for me), but the bass wasn't empty. I didn't play around with the sounds settings, so maybe it could sound even better. But when I go to test drive the car, I end up having fun driving it and taking pictures and tend to forget about testing out the rest of it. But just like projector headlights, I don't think a subwoofer will ever become an option in a Fiesta so I could live without it.

I need to go out to a different dealer I haven't visited yet that has one in stock sometime to see if I can get another test drive (I gotta fill my need to drive it somehow until I can afford it) and actually remember to test out the My Ford Touch system in it (link my phone, really test the sound system with my iPod music, play with the sound settings, see the navigation in action, and maybe learn and try out a few voice commands).

^That's about what I felt about the sound from it. There was definitely bass there when listening to a song with bass, it just wasn't really deep compared to my car with an actual subwoofer. But like I said, if Ford added an 8" factory subwoofer to the Fiesta, I'd be completely fine with how it sounded. I'm no audiophile, but I know when my music sounds good and when it doesn't.
