While everything they say about seat adjusting, telescoping steering, non existent cup holders are all very annoying… I was nicely surprised when #5 Inscrutable navigation system interfaces appeared with a note to other manufacturers:
Our advice for these ergonomically and technically challenged brands is to just buy a Ford Fusion with Sync 3.0 and Sirius Travel Link and marvel at the very best in the business.
Tyler has done a great job covering exactly how much more you can do with Sirius Travel Link and Sync!
Ford’s comfort conscious and customer centered designs have been noticed, and not just by you! Ford is the only brand to win multiple awards in the 2009 competition for Ward’s Interiors of the Year.
The Ford Flex captured best interior for its flexible six passenger seating, high-quality materials and the easily accessible (and just as comfortable as the first and second row seats) third row.
The SmartGauge with EcoGuide digital instrument cluster earned the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid a special achievement award from Ward’s Autoworld Magazine’s editors for Best Graphic Display.
Today, one of the toughest and most respected auto writers in America – Jim Healey at USA Today – began his weekly car review with this line: “O.K., let’s just get it out there: The 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid is the best gasoline-electric hybrid yet.” Healey goes on to explain why he likes it: “Simple. Fusion drives better. A car is, after all a driving machine … And there, Fusion is without equal among hybrids.”
The 2010 Ranger will build on the truck’s safety legacy with the addition of Roll Stability Control and side air bags, making it one of only two small pickups to offer both of these advanced safety technologies as standard features.
The Canadian Automobile Association has chosen Ford of Canada as the recipient of its two annual Pyramid Awards. This is the first time in their award history that the same company has received both CAA awards in the same year.
The first award, the CAA Pyramid for Safety, went to Ford of Canada for its newly developed Blind Spot Mirror. The Blind Spot Mirror improves driver visibility on both sides of the vehicle when making a lane change or when parallel parking. It’s an affordable mirror technology that will find its way onto many future Ford and Lincoln vehicles as standard equipment.
The second award, the CAA Pyramid for Environmental Initiative, was awarded to the automaker for a new vehicle seat with a fabric made with 100 percent recycled materials.
