The Ford Fiesta is One of KBB's 10 Best Back-to-School Cars

WESTLAND, Mich.––The Ford Fiesta is a great compact car for a number of reasons including it's fuel economy, fun attitude, and safety. It's an especially great car for students heading back to school this season. The Ford Fiesta is one of KBB's 10 Best Back-to-School Cars of 2016. Although it's a great award, the Fiesta is no stranger to the list, as it also made the top 10 last year.

Kelley Blue Book picked the top 10 Best Back-to-School Cars based on a few factors they consider important to our youth and future leaders. Affordability, practicality, and safety were extremely high factors in deciding which vehicles would make the list. The Ford Fiesta was listed as a KBB 10 Coolest Cars Under $18k again this year, so deciding it met the affordability factor was no stretch.

"The kids involved prefer to have a car they’re happy to be seen in, which suggests style is part of the equation too. Ford Fiesta addresses all of these wants, with an array of features returning students are sure to appreciate.” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst, Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com.

The 2016 Ford Fiesta, though small, be but mighty in style! The Fiesta comes available in a sedan or hatchback style with bold and smooth Ford styling. The interior is comfortable and includes technology, like the newest version of Ford SYNC, a young driver would want, lending to the overall style. 

While there were many factors kids considered important, safety was the most considered and highest rated factor by KBB and parents alike. No matter how long your young driver has been behind the wheel, you still want the most advanced safety features included in their vehicle. The 2016 Ford Fiesta comes with a total of seven airbags and plenty of driver assist technologies like blind spot mirrors, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, and more. 

The Ford Fiesta is one of KBB's 10 Best Back-to-School Cars, and one of KBB's 10 Coolest Cars Under $18k, which means it's one of the best new Ford vehicles you can get for your student!

Survey Shows Gender Affects Car-Shopping Decisions

WESTLAND, Mich. - A survey recently collected data from 13,000 U.S. adults who visited KBB.com (Kelley Blue Book) between January and June and found that gender affects car-shopping decisions. Surveys were anonymous and linked to responders' online shopping data, allowing the site to observe the shopping habits of the two genders.

The survey found that gender affects car-shopping decisions in a variety of ways. Data found that 76 percent of women tended to search for safety features, while only 61 percent of men do so. Women tend to gravitate towards cars with great safety ratings, as well as vehicles that are fuel efficient. 67 percents of women searched for 'fuel efficient' when searching for their next vehicle, while only 48 percent of men did.

When it comes to what men look for the most, it tends to be vehicles that are more 'rugged'. 28 percent of men were likely to shop for vehicles that are considered 'durable', 'tough', and/or 'fast', while only 19 percent of women used these search terms. The survey also revealed that men are more likely to stick with the brands they grew up with. 

Overall, the data showed overwhelming support that women tend to gravitate towards cars that are safe and affordable, while men focus on the exterior styling and 'rugged' reputations. 

Whether you agree with these results or not, we have a great selection of vehicles that can satisfy safety, affordability, exterior styling and more! Whether you're interested in New Ford Cars, New Ford Trucks, or a used vehicle, we have something for everyone. So stop by our Dearborn Area Ford Dealer today and we'll make sure that you leave happy.
