What is the most reliable Ford Fiesta transmission choice?

I've been considering buying a Ford Fiesta, but after reading some reviews, I'm concerned about the transmission problems. What is the best transmission option for this car and what steps can I take to ensure its reliability?

I would recommend going for the manual transmission over the automatic in the Ford Fiesta. This is because the manual has been known to have less transmission issues compared to the automatic.

As a mechanic, I've seen that regular maintenance and use of high-quality transmission fluid can greatly improve the longevity and performance of your Ford Fiesta's transmission.
