Between a Prius C and a Ford Fiesta both 2014 which would you choose as a 1st car?

I'm pondering getting a car within the next 6-12 months and I'm looking for a car that is GOOD on MPG

I drive within a 17-20 mile radius everyday which can sometimes end up being at least 25-50 miles 2-3 days out of the week sometimes even 5.

I drive a Camry LE 1999 which does a poor job in terms of mileage. I roughly get 20-25 mpg and it has been putting a hole in my pocket…

Both of the cars I'm looking at are roughly 16k and below from Autotrader so I think car payments are doable for a first time buyer

Both seem quite feasible but based on what YOU know which car do you think is MORE appealing or any other cars you would recommend that are good on gas?

If I were you, doing max 50 miles per day, I'd also look at the Volt and other electric/gas cars.

Both get good reviews, I believe, but you should definitely test drive. Personally I do not like the rear viewability on the hatchback Prius models, so I'd check that out for sure.
