Car Shopping? Consider Buying a Ford
When it comes time to buy a car, there are a lot of different things to consider. And one of the biggest, is what kind of car to get. There’s a reason that Ford constantly shows up as one of the top American-made cars, and below are just a few.
American Built and History
If you were asked to name one American car manufacturer, Ford is most likely the first one to come to mind. As one of the oldest car companies in the nation, the company has a long history of quality and integrity. For over 100 years, they have been making quality cars that drivers can depend on. They have survived difficult times like the Great Depression and persevered. Not only has Ford survived all these years, but they are also a leader in the field and grows as the times change. It’s safe to say that they know what they’re doing when it comes to manufacturing cars.
Variety
Ford offers a large variety of automobiles, more than almost any other carmaker. This which means you can select from trucks, hatchbacks, coupes, sedans (small and large), SUVs and Crossover, minivans, and more! Not only do they offer a great selection, but because of their popularity, their cars are easy to find!
Technology
Ford vehicles are always equipped with the latest technologies. In fact, the company often paves the way for others to follow. For example, MyFord Touch allows you to do many things such as controlling features of the car with voice-activated commands, connecting to the internet, and many other functions within your vehicle.
Environmentally Friendly
Ford makes a point of understanding the impact their vehicles have on the environment, and they are constantly working to help make their vehicles more environmentally friendly. In addition to their hybrid model, the C-Max, they also have hybrids available for the Fusion and older models of the Escape. And for those not interested in hybrids, the company uses EcoBoost engines to help improve fuel economy without sacrificing any power.
Durability
One of Ford’s most famous and long-lasting slogans is “Built Ford Tough”. They continue to use this slogan because it is true; they build their vehicles to last. The company has also created a system for durability testing that tests vehicles in every kind of environment and condition you can think of, and each vehicle they design is put through this rigorous testing. And when it comes to building vehicles, they use high quality parts that will allow your vehicle to run a long time.
Safety
According to both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Ford models are often among the highest ranked. Their vehicles carry all the typical safety features you find with all models such as the Tire Pressure Monitoring and LATCH System. But Ford also offers some exclusive and more advanced safety systems including the Forward Collision Warning, Advance Trac with Roll Stability Control, Blind Spot Information System and many more. It’s hard to find a brand more committed to safety.
Final Thoughts
Whether it be the Mustang, Explorer, Flex, Fiesta, Fusion, or any other Ford vehicle, you can’t go wrong when you choose a Ford!
