Do Ford Fiestas have rear brakes?

Ford Fiesta Rear Brakes
Yes, Ford Fiestas have rear brakes. The standard rear brakes on the Fiesta are a self-adjusting drum system, although ST models do have discs. The drum brake shoes typically last longer than brake pads on a rotor of a similar size because there is more friction surface area between the shoe and drum. This design was implemented by Ford to address rear brake wear problems that have plagued rear disc brakes of small cars with electronic brake distribution (EBD).
