Congrats 'In Focus' on successfully being able to get your wife to consider something other than what she wanted to begin with. That alone is worthy of a medal!

On a more serious note, 0-100 times compare quite evenly. I believe Toyota quote something like 11 seconds for the automatic Corolla, the Fiesta would be around that. Interior space definitely goes to the Corolla, listing dimensions is pointless because it's a bigger car. The modern Corolla is the same size as the first Toyota Camry, bigger in some regards! As you'll know, a baby seat is huge. And even in big cars seems to take up far too much room for what is essentially a little peanut sitting inside haha. I has seen a members Fiesta with a baby seat in the back, and was surprised how well it did fit though. The middle seat was compromised, but for short trips it wouldn't be a major hassle.

Overall, you know the drill, let her drive it, take the baby seat, fit it in the Fiesta, take it for a drive, ask if you can have it for a bit of time. The Fiesta, IMHO, is a much better car. But the Ford experience can be a letdown if you have a dodgy dealer. If you have a good one, get the Fiesta no doubt. Mine's a blast. From what I can tell, the Thai-built WT is just as good.
