With a variety of powerful engines and compact-to-full-size options, you can’t go wrong with a Ford car.

The Ford Motor Company is full of history and heritage. The company was founded by Henry Ford in 1903 and has been producing vehicles of all shapes and sizes for almost 118 years.

At Ford, early investors included John and Horace Dodge, who famously went on to produce their own line of automobiles and became key competitors. A lot has happened at Ford since then. From the pioneering Model T to the modern-day GT supercar, Ford has produced dozens of great cars, and we’re going to give you a rundown of some of the best options when it comes to Blue Oval’s best cars.

It is worth noting upfront that Ford’s 2021 model year lineup doesn’t really offer many “cars” since the company is pivoting to focus on SUVs and trucks.

Currently, the only 2021 Ford car in showrooms is the Mustang. Still, there are tons of great Ford cars on used car lots around the country.

So, whether you are looking for something smaller, like the Fiesta and Focus, or something a bit larger, like the Fusion and Taurus, the Ford car lineup goes pretty deep with a lot of great options. Plus, there’s that other car called the Mustang that has done pretty well.

Subcompact: Ford Fiesta

Ford has an impressive history of building cars in Europe. In fact, even though it’s a thoroughly American company, Ford’s Europe division has produced some of the best-selling cars on the continent. One of them is the Ford Fiesta. Originally launched as a “supermini” in 1976, the Fiesta soldiered on for decades evolving and improving. It wasn’t really until the car’s sixth-generation (2011-2019) that the United States got a good taste of the spicy Fiesta.

Built on a then-new Ford global B-car platform, the Fiesta was a hit around the globe. Launched in both sedan and four-door hatchback layout, the Fiesta is a versatile small car with a surprising amount of space.

The Fiesta sedan offered 12.8 cu. ft. of cargo space, while the hatchback bumps up to 26.0 cu. ft. The Fiesta was launched in 2011 with a standard 1.6L inline four-cylinder that produced 120 horsepower and 112 lb.-ft. of torque. It came with a standard five-speed manual or optional six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The lightweight means an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy that ranges from 37 to 40 mpg.

Ford Fiesta’s Updates

To help you find the right model year Fiesta for your needs, here is a quick rundown of the changes over its sixth generation. For the 2012-2013 model year, the Fiesta carried over with minor changes to trim packages and colors.

For 2014, the Fiesta received significant powertrain updates, including two new engines. You can now find the 2014 Fiesta with a new 1.0L EcoBoost inline three-cylinder engine, which gets an impressive EPA estimated 31 mpg city and 43 mpg highway. If speed is what you need, the Fiesta ST trim (hatchback only) became available for the first time in 2014.

With a potent turbocharged 1.6L EcoBoost four-cylinder producing an impressive 197 horsepower and 202 lb.-ft. of torque and performance upgrades like a standard six-speed manual, ST body kit (spoiler, grill, hood), and fantastic Recaro seats, the Fiesta ST is a lot of fun. Additionally, the 2014 Fiesta received a new available 6.5-inch touchscreen display.

Generally speaking, the 2015-2017 Fiesta only received minor updates to trim and packages, of note for 2016, the Sync 3 system replaced MyFord Touch for audio, connectivity, and navigation.

For 2018, the 1.0L three-cylinder engine was no longer available, however, a rearview camera was made standard across the lineup per U.S. Government regulation. Finally, for 2019, its last year in production, Ford added the sporty-looking ST-Line trim to fit in between the SE and ST Fiesta hatchback.

Sadly, that marks the end of the Ford Fiesta in the United States. The seventh generation of the Fiesta lives on overseas, but if you want to get a great sixth generation for yourself, prices range from just over $5,000 to north of $20,000 for a top-spec 2019 model.

Compact: Ford Focus

The Ford Focus is another of the most popular vehicles in the world. If you are looking for a bit more space for passengers and cargo, the Focus makes great use of its compact size. Dating back to 1998, the Focus has been another darling of the European market and was the replacement for the Ford Escort.

Here in the States, we got our first first-generation Focus in 2000 in three styles including a three-door hatchback, a sedan, and a wagon. It was powered by a choice of 2.0L engines, one making 107 horsepower, and the other 130 horsepower. Prices range from $1,618 to $3,039 for 2000 models up to $3,560 to $5,916 for 2007, the final year of the first generation Focus.

The second-generation Ford Focus runs from 2008 to 2011 and candidly isn’t quite as attractive as the first or third iterations, both of which share their design with their European counterpart. The North American Focus was only available as a two-door coupe and four-door sedan and was powered by a 2.0L 140 horsepower four-cylinder.

Candidly, it’s worth the time to find a third-generation Focus (2012-2018). On launch, the 2012 Ford Focus came in sedan and four-door hatchback body styles with four trim levels available including S, SE, SEL, and Titanium.

Power came from a brand new 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine that puts out a more impressive 160 horsepower and 146 lb.-ft. of torque.

Ford Focus’ Updates

The third generation soldiered on through the 2018 model year with a variety of updates and changes. For the 2013 model year, the Focus also got a hot-rod Focus ST four-door hatchback version. Similar to the Fiesta ST, it receives cool styling details including center-exit exhaust pipes and sportier interior trim, and Recaro seats. Most impressive is the 2.0L turbo four-cylinder making 252 horsepower, although the Focus ST remains front-wheel-drive.

For 2014 the Focus only received minor trim and equipment updates across its various levels. Starting in 2015, you could option the Focus with a smaller, but turbocharged, 1.0L EcoBoost three-cylinder with 123 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque with a standard six-speed manual transmission. The ST trim also received several upgrades to lighting as well as interior and exterior trim for the 2015 model year.

The big news for the 2016 model year was the incredibly quick all-wheel-drive Focus RS. It comes with a standard output of 350 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque from a 2.3L turbocharged inline four-cylinder and a six-speed manual. The Focus RS is a serious performance car! Additionally for 2016, just like the Fiesta, the Focus got the Sync 3 voice recognition and entertainment system for 2016 as well as a handful of trim updates. The 2017-2018 model years received minor updates and the Focus was sadly discontinued prior to the 2019 model year.

Similarly, the fourth-generation Focus lives on outside of the North American market.

However, there are lots of great Focus models to choose from on the domestic used market. Third-generation prices range from around $5,500 to near $37,000 for the great Focus RS in its most recent model year.

Ford Focus Electric: For something a bit more environmentally conscious, check out the Focus Electric. Sold between 2012 and 2018, early 2012-2016 models featured a 107kW Electric Motor producing 143 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. The range was minimal compared to the competition those model years, with an estimated range of just 76 miles on a single charge.

In 2017, the Focus Electric received a 40-percent energy-dense battery pack, helping the EPA-rated range of the Ford Focus Electric improve from 76 miles to 115 miles.

Muscle Car: Ford Mustang

And now for something completely different, the legendary Ford Mustang! The Mustang has a storied history dating back to 1965 (well, 1964½ technically) and has only continued to build on that tradition since then over six great generations. The formula has never varied too dramatically, two doors, rear-wheel-drive, big engines, it’s the classic muscle car formula that the Mustang helped build.

There are thousands of great Mustangs to choose from across the new and used market. The fourth-generation Mustang debuted in 1994 marking the car’s first major redesign in fifteen years. Code-named “SN-95” it was still technically built off of the “Fox” platform that was home to the third generation (1979–1993). Look for some cool models like the Bullitt (2001), Mach 1 (2003-2004), and two versions of the high output Cobra (1999-2001 and 2003-2004).

The fifth-generation (2005–2014), codenamed “S-197”, marked a major update for the Mustang. Built off of the new D2C platform the latest Mustang continued to evolve the breed with new “retro-inspired” styling and a host of new features and trim levels. Prices range from $5,651 to $8,337 for 2005 models and $13,782 to $39,160 for the final 2014 model year. 

The most recent sixth-generation (S-550) that launched in 2015 is easily the best of the bunch. The latest Mustang is wider, lower, and even though the wheelbase remained the same, passenger volume was increased. Engine options became a lot more varied for the first time in a couple of generations. Upon launch in 2015, you can choose from a standard 300 horsepower 3.7L V6, an optional four-cylinder EcoBoost that puts out 310 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque, a naturally a 5.0L V8 pumping out 435 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.

Ford Mustang’s Updates

The sixth-generation Mustang didn’t rest on its laurels, Ford went right to work providing updates and new trim options over its lifespan thus far. New for 2016 was a host of upgrades including new appearance packages like the Black Accent, California Special, and Pony packages. The Mustang also received the new Sync 3 voice recognition and entertainment system.

Oh, right, the Mustang also gained the fabulous Shelby GT350 and GT350R models, featuring a new 526 horsepower 5.2-liter flat-plane V8 and race car handling. The 2017 model year marked new color choices, the Sync 3 now came standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, and the GT350 models now came standard with the Track package.

Take a look at the 2018 and newer models for the latest mid-cycle updates to the Mustang. Ford gave the 2018 Mustang a major makeover, with more aggressive styling and a host of mechanical changes.

First, Ford removed the V6 from the lineup, just leaving the 2.3L EcoBoost and the 5.0L V8. The EcoBoost engine remained at 310 horsepower but got a torque boost to 350 lb.-ft., while the ubiquitous 5.0 went from 435 horsepower to 460 horsepower and torque was bumped from 400 lb.-ft. to 420 lb.-ft.

For 2019, the 475 horsepower Bullitt special edition joined the lineup, and for 2020 the Mustang received a variety of trim and color updates, but the big news was an amazing new Shelby GT500. It packs an unreal supercharged 5.2-liter V8 putting out 760 horsepower and 625 lb.-ft. of torque paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It’s the fastest Mustang ever!

For 2021 Ford kept the special edition train rolling with the revised sixth generation version of the classic Mach 1. The new track-oriented Mach 1 packs a 5.0L engine, but comes with lots of go-fast goodies to help make the best of a day at the track.

The Mustang is still going strong, one of the only Ford cars still in showrooms. Pricing ranges from the mid $16,000 range for a base 2015 up to just under $50,000 for a new top-trim version.

2017 Ford Fusion Sport - By Ford

Midsize: Ford Fusion

If the four-door Fiesta and Focus are both a bit too small, and you need something a little larger, take a look at the Ford Fusion. The Fusion represents a great addition to the midsize class. Its first generation ran from 2006 to 2012 and was built on Ford’s CD3 platform.

The platform, designed by Mazda through a collaborative partnership, resulted in the Mazda6 and a host of other cars and crossovers built between the two companies. Despite its solid underpinnings, the first-generation Fusion wasn’t all that great. It came with a mix of four and six-cylinder options and even offered a hybrid trim, but most engines were thought to be underpowered and the first-gen Fusion had a fairly uninspiring and bland design.

Fast forward to 2013 and Ford unveiled the brand new second-generation Fusion. With a very attractive new aerodynamic design built on the Ford CD4 platform, the new Fusion turned heads immediately. Designed by Ford’s European design studio, the 2013 Fusion was released with a (mostly) new set of powertrains.

Only the base 175 horsepower 2.5L four-cylinder carried over from the first generation, beyond that Ford added two gasoline engines including a turbocharged 1.6L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine with 178 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque, plus a turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost, four-cylinder engine with 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque.

Eco-friendly buyers will note that the Ford Fusion Hybrid was also available in 2013 with a 2.0L Atkinson hybrid I4 engine rated at 188 horsepower, as was the Ford Fusion Energi was a plug-in version featuring the same engine.

Ford Fusion’s Updates

Starting in 2014, the Fusion received a new 1.5L EcoBoost engine which replaces the 1.6L EcoBoost but retains the same 178 horsepower. Beyond that, it was only trim updates for the remainder of the 2014 Fusion models. The 2015 model year saw the addition of a standard rearview camera, and the 1.6L EcoBoost was no longer available with a manual transmission. The Fusion received an updated dashboard design plus new appearance packages and trim updates for 2016.

For the 2017 model year, the Fusion was now available in Sport and Platinum trims and Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system was added, along with minor styling updates. While the 2018 Ford Fusion received no significant updates, for 2019 the midsize car received new styling in the front and rear plus new standard features along with the option to add Ford’s new package of driver-assist technologies.

The Energi version also gets a slightly extended electric-only range (from 21 to 25 miles). Finally, for 2020 the Fusion received minor updates and colors, although the quick Sport V6 trim was no longer available.

The 2020 model years is likely the swan song for the Fusion, it will go the way of the Fiesta and Focus and no longer be a part of the Ford lineup. Fear not, you can get lots of great second-generation Fusions from a bargain price of just under $8,500 up to around $26,000. It is definitely a lot of car for the money!

Full-size: Ford Taurus

Rounding out our list of the best Ford cars is the Taurus. The long-running Taurus helped to establish Ford as an automotive powerhouse in the 1980s. It was part of a new quality-focused initiative at Ford and the midsize sedan and wagon sold in large numbers. The first generation ran from 1986–1991 and was updated for the 1992-1995 model year.

In 1996 a radical redesign was launched with a more rounded version of the Taurus sedan and wagon that ran through 1999. By the fourth generation (2000-2007), the Taurus was no longer the best-selling car in America. Ford started over, re-launching the Taurus in 2008 in full-size form built off of the outgoing Ford Five-Hundred.

Of note, the performance-oriented SHO, which stood for “Super High Output” was sold between 1989-1991 during the first generation and established the Taurus as a capable sports sedan that continued with new versions sold during the second, third, and sixth-generation Taurus.

However, it wasn’t until Ford unveiled the sixth-generation Taurus (2010-2019) that things began to look up for Ford’s full-size sedan. The brand new handsome clean-sheet design for 2010 was a fresh take in the Taurus and was powered by a standard 3.5L V6 engine with 263 horsepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque.

In the latest incarnation of the Taurus SHO trim, you’ll find an impressive twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 with 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque and standard all-wheel-drive. The Taurus sports sedan was finally back.

Ford Taurus’ Updates

There were no changes for the 2011 model year, and only minor changes happened for 2012. The big news for the 2013 mid-cycle refresh included both a revised exterior and interior, plus a new turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that delivers 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque.

Additionally, the base V6 received a small horsepower bump to 290 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque, while the SHO got better brakes and an optional performance package. For 2014-2015, the only updates included new color options and revised trim packages. The 2016 model year saw a rearview camera standard on all models, and the updated Sync 3 tech arrived, but only on upper models; lower trim levels retain the older system.

For 2017, a new available Sony audio system was added to the options list as well as another revision to the external color palette. 2018 saw the 2.0L EcoBoost engine dropped from the lineup and for 2019 there were no major updates.

Another mighty Ford car has fallen, the Taurus is no more. It was removed from the Ford lineup, but the last generation, in particular, was quite solid. It represents a lot of car for the money, so take a look at these used options!

Best Ford Cars

When it comes to deciding on the best of Ford’s lineup of cars, the top recommendation, partially through attrition, is the Ford Mustang. The last one standing is actually quite deserving, having continually improved over decades of engineering. The Mustang has become a giant-killer in the automotive world.

Even a base GT with the 5.0L engine will run with some of the best from BMW’s M division and Mercedes’ AMG, which cost twice as much (or more). Meanwhile, the latest 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost 310 horsepower comes with an impressive EPA rating of 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway with a manual transmission, and 21/32 mpg city/highway with the automatic transmission.

For sweet spots with regard to trim and options, look for the EcoBoost Premium and GT Premium. For 2021 as an example, the Premium trim includes great comfort and convenience upgrades like heated and cooled leather front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, multicolor ambient lighting, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

With regard to performance, try to opt for a 2018 or newer Mustang. Particularly in the 5.0L model, power bumps from 435 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque up to an impressive 460 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. It is definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Even the EcoBoost Mustang also got a healthy 40 lb.-ft. injection of torque. For top-down fun, the Mustang is even available as a convertible.

Honestly, any of the most recent generation Ford cars are worth a look. From the spicy Fiesta to the slightly larger Focus, up to the midsize Fusion and full-size Taurus, all of these cars use variations of the same great concept. The excellent EcoBoost engines, which are present across all recent Ford cars, are definitely a bright spot, as are upgraded interiors and a great mix of standard features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Apr 23, 2022

What is the best Ford car to buy?

For the 2021 model year, Ford only makes 2 car models and they are the Fusion and the Mustang. Ford decided to switch their focus from cars to SUVs and crossovers, along with its truck line because it noticed a big decrease in sales of its sedans. The best new car that you can get from Ford will be the Mustang. This is just the latest evolution of the iconic Mustang that has been around for over 50 years and it is the best generation yet.

If you expand your search out to include SUVs and crossovers then the best selling model is the Escape. This is their compact SUV that is known to be reliable and a great vehicle for use around town.

If you also want to include the trucks then the F-150 is a great one to go with. These are some of the best half-ton trucks that are available on the market. They are great reliable trucks that should last well over 200,000 miles and be great for work or home use.

What is Ford's most reliable car?

Ford's vehicles are decently reliable, and they score average as a brand in terms of overall reliability and quality. The most reliable vehicle that they make right now would be the F-150. This is the best-selling truck in the world and Ford has decades of experience building them, which results in a great reliable truck that should be able to last you well over 10 years.

The next most reliable vehicle that Ford sells is the Explorer. The powertrain in the latest generation has been known to have some cam phaser issues with the 3.5L engine, but this has been fixed in the latest revisions of the engine. The Explorer is essentially what made SUVs popular when it was released in the late 1990s and though there have been good and bad years for them they remain reliable.

Ford overall is a good brand to look at and it is always a good idea to look at the reliability ratings of the cars that interest you most. In general, it is hard to go wrong if you go with one of the latest Fords.

What is the most luxurious Ford?

The most luxurious Ford vehicle on the market right now is the Expedition Platinum MAX. This is essentially the same vehicle as the Lincoln Navigator, but at a lower starting price. They still are not cheap though since they start at $76,375.

Some of the luxury features for the Platinum trim on the Expedition include upgraded leather seats that are ventilated with A/C and heat. You can get captain chairs with armrests in the second row of the vehicle as well. When you upgrade to the Platinum trim you also get an upgraded stereo system from Bang & Olufsen that includes 12 speakers and an upgraded amplifier.

Most of the Ford truck models including the F-150, F-250, and F-350 also have a Platinum trim and all of these have the same luxury features that you find in the Expedition, but with the added convenience and usability of a truck. Ford has been adding more luxury to its vehicles over the years to make them more comfortable and impressive for owners.

2015 Ford Fusion- a car that has everything
The Ford Fusion is a great car. It is reliable, rarely has any issues (except for recalls). It's a perfect everyday car. Comfortable seats, air conditioning, Bluetooth, charging, and backup camera. You can get the extra stuff but the basics work out great. The only thing I wish I had was a moonroof. Some models have the beep whenever you backup close to something. I wish it had the lights in the mirrors when other cars are in your blind spot. There is more than enough space in the car both for passengers and in the trunk. I have transported a lot of large items by putting the back seats down. There are occasional recalls, but I never have a problem when I take the car back to the dealer. My car is black outside, black inside. It does get hot the summer months, but not unbearable. The car does really well in the heavy rain. It drives very well in the snow and ice conditions. It does occasionally slide if it is REALLY slick out. It is a very safe car with airbags and antilock brakes. It has a nice array of storage areas inside the car including the center console, sunglasses holder, passenger console and middle open console. There are plenty of cup holders and even holders inside the doors. The stereo system is very nice. I can always hear and you can make whatever adjustments needed. Overall it is a very nice car. If I could I would buy two of them.

2019 Mustang gt: fast and comfortable!
Really wish it had the mirror safety feature, the one that causes the side mirrors to blink when a car is in the blind spot. Love the motor and how fast it is, the performance of the vehicle. Also the interior is super comfortable and tech is very well up to date on the inside. It has however caused some mechanical problems within the first 12,000 miles on it, with the shutter assembly failing and needing to be replaced. Love the apple CarPlay and the overall look of the vehicle. It is a standard and the transmission is very nice, shifts beautifully and also love the hill assist feature. The car will not roll back for about a second when starting on a hill, comes in handy. Has great traction and really good handling, performance wise, the best vehicle I have owned. Only downfall has been reliability and having the shutter assembly fail. Love the seat warmers and the seat coolers for both passenger and main driver seats. Wish there was a little more room in the backseat but overall it is enough room for a 6 foot person. And also the trunk has enough space for quite a bit of luggage.

My fuel efficient 2012 Ford Focus.
Great price for what you get. Its pretty reliable and gets great mileage which is important since my commute to work is 58 miles round trip. No major repairs in the 6 years wave owned it. The cons are. The interior has not held up as it should. The center console began surface began peeling by the 3rd year. The headlight position isn't as efficient as it should be. On bright it still does not put out sufficient light to see everything. In general it's a good car for the price. Obviously not ideal for long trips. Even at 5' 3" it still can become cramped over long periods of time.

My 2015 Ford Focus feels like a brand new car!
T is a new used car for us. It is much more comfortable than my previous Focus! The driver’s side seat has an adjustment for raising and lowering the seat, helpful for us short people! The bright red color is nice looking making the car look brand new. It is great to have great gas mileage, especially on the highway, about 28-36 mpg. Acceleration takes some getting used to as it feels like a manual transmission although it is a standard. Just press the accelerator lightly. There’s plenty of power, , you’ll zoom ahead.

Highly capable 2019 Ford Mustang GT Premium, with refined and comfortable interior.
Fully capable sports car, quiet and well equipped for comfort on long trips. With a 10 speed transmission, it occasionally searches for gears longer than I think it should. The gas mileage is worse than expected, even under conservative driving. Visibility is not stellar, but better than competitors. Personal settings are not always kept when turning the vehicle off and back on. Some of the electronic assists get in the way, for example, the windshield wipers are automatic rain sensing and are far too aggressive.

2014 Ford Focus: Great run around car for the money
Great gas mileage and a great little commuter car. Has serious transmission problems that Ford has acknowledged and fixed in newer models. The car lurches like a mule when shifting in lower gears. Highway mileage is exceptionally-41 MPG and maintenance is minor and easy. This car is a great run-around little workhorse you can always count on at a reasonable price point. I intend to replace it with a similar Ford product when this current car has done it's duty.

Blue lightning 2019 Ford Mustang GT. The color is blue and when you hit the gas it will take off.
The overall comfort of my mustang is really good. When I drive it I don't feel cramped. It is really dependable. It has the 5 liter V8 coyote engine in it so it's quick. It has 460 horsepower and will do 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. You can change the feel of the steering wheel so it makes it a little stiffer to turn. I think it takes corners really well in normal mode but I hear some people prefer it in sport mode.

My review of my 2015 Ford Focus.
Good car for getting about town. Not particularly fond of the seat fabric because it is a cream and seems to stain easily. Transmission had to be replaced (under warranty) at just under the 60k miles. Still seems like it is shuttering when starting, but this might be typical of the manual transmission that Ford converted to an automatic. Good mileage and comfortable. Also like the back-up camera.

2016 Ford Taurus SEL has comfort, the inside noise level is zero and the stereo system is the best.
This is one of the nicest cars on the road the ride is smooth, quiet and very comfortable with all leather seats and all the bells and whistles you could want or ask for. There is plenty of room in the car both in the front and the back which makes it comfortable for those long rides to and from the country. With plenty of room to places enough suitcases in the trunk to last for several weeks.

Great car with great value. 2016 Ford Fiesta SE
My Ford Fiesta has been a great car for me over the past few years. Not only does it get incredible gas mileage (about 36 miles per gallon on average), but it's fun to drive! The interior features lighting that you can change depending on your mood, and has Bluetooth, aux, and USB connections. It's relatively compact but still feels roomy inside, which makes it great for single or family use.

No regrets: 2014 Ford Fiesta S performs well overall.
In the nearly 5 years I have owned my fiesta I have not had a single mechanical issue. Though I wish it had a little more of power, it handles well. I don't care for it in heavy weather due to the angle of the windshield and it is a lighter vehicle. That being said we travel over the mountains during our 2hr trip to family once a month and we still fill the tank an average of twice a month.

Powerful with grace on the road. 2019 Ford Mustang GT Premium.
My vehicle is one that I live to get behind the wheel of everyday. There is something about the way the power of the car feels in my hands while their on the steering wheel that makes me feel in full control. I love the way the car grips the road and responds to my every maneuver. My car makes me feel powerful without being obscene about it.

Amazing 2016 Ford Taurus SE with amazing comfort.
No vehicle problems so far. As for as comfort goes, it is one of the comfiest cars I have had the pleasure of sitting in. Whether you are sitting in the front seats or chilling in the back, it provides great comfort. For reliability, it has been great. Have had no issues so far and hoping it stays that way.

The leather seats adds a feel of luxury on the 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium
Has great acceleration, is amazing on gas, and is the most well handling vehicles I have very owned. Has all the bells and whistles you could ever want. Some of the features are heating and cooled seats, radio controls on the steering wheel, hands free calling, a touch screen display, and satellite radio.

The 2018 ford focus is a great price.
There's nothing too special about the base model. It's a standard 4 door little sedan, but the trunk has a ton of space. I keep my stroller travel system in there and have room for my reusable grocery bags and safety kit, extra blanket and diaper bag. It does pick up speed really fast. So that's nice.

2017 Ford Fiesta Awesome Vehicle
Very quiet and smooth ride for a small car. Cruises great on the highway, it only has a 1.6 engine in it, but had all the power you need. I love the gas mileage, it gets 37hwy, and 27 in town. I have the se model, it has it has power everything, except seats. Handles and corners great! Love this car.

I like that the seats fold down for extra space in the 2014 Ford Fiesta S.
I like this car a lot it's simple yet gets me to where I need to go. I enjoy the Bluetooth option for hands free device, the music sounds pretty good through the original stereo, seats are comfortable. I wish the back seat area had a little more room but do enjoy that the seats fold down.

2015 Ford Fiesta S is a money saver at the gas pump.
Great gas mileage with a little get up and go. Quality sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. Comfortable ride overall with a nice interior and comfy seats. Great value car that is reliable and a real money saver at the pump transmission has some issues shaking on acceleration though.

Easy handling 2015 Ford Fusion SE - comfortable - low maintenance Bluetooth - backup camera.
The car is comfortable and easy to handle when driving, has a roomy interior and large trunk for a mid size car. The gas mile is fantastic. It uses synthetic oil which make it low maintenance, oil change every 7500 miles. There have not been any issues with the car in the last 4 years.

2018 Ford fusion provides the whole package.
I have had no issues or recalls so far. Seats are super comfortable. I like that you can save settings for 2 different drivers and it will automatically move your seats and mirrors where you need them. The trunk is roomy. Dual temp controls are great. Back up camera is helpful too.

Improved 2019 mustang overtakes the older model.
Traded in a 2014 for the 2019 and it is so much better. I would never go back. The mirrors have lights that monitor what's next to you and I have a backup camera and is better on gas miles and how the convertible top opens and closes it is easier to operate I would never go back.

My 2016 ford Taurus limited. It is a pearl white beautiful car.
I love my car! It has all the bells and whistles I haven't hardly begin to tap into all the things my car can do. It is extremely safe and fun to drive although it is easy to catch myself speeding so I have to watch my speedometer. It is fun to drive and it is a beautiful car.

2015 Ford Fusion SE Hybrid good performance vehicle.
My ford fusion is very reliable. It has not broke down or had anything wrong with it. I love the interior as it works comfortable for my family and I. The ac and heating system works well also and the performance is the best I have had in a car. It's a good recommendation.
