2014 Ford Fiesta Review

WESTLAND, Mich. - The Ford Fiesta has been an American favorite, having recently been voted the Women's World Car of the Year for 2013. This subcompact car has so much to offer, which is why we've compiled all the best aspects of the vehicle in a 2014 Ford Fiesta review.

First off, the Ford Fiesta is a great little car that is fun to drive. It comes standard with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 120 hp and 112 lb-ft of torque, and it gets about 29 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. It also goes from 0-60 mph in 9.5 seconds which is an average time for the Fiesta's class.

As for safety, the 2014 Ford Fiesta has antilock brakes, traction and stability control, hill launch assist, integrated blind-spot mirror, and more. In a brake test, the Ford Fiesta SES came to a stop from 60 mph in 119 feet which is one of the best distances in its segment. As for how it does with overall protection, the Fiesta received the highest possible rating in the frontal-offset, side and roof-strength tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

With great safety features and an engine that is actually pretty quick for the vehicle's size, the 2014 Ford Fiesta also handles like a dream. Although 120 hp doesn't seem like much, this subcompact car actually gets up to speed pretty quickly and does so smoothly. It's lightweight and nimble, allowing you to have complete control of your vehicle while having it drive smooth.

If you're looking for a car to only be used occassionally with the speed of a Mustang, this isn't the car for you. However, if you want a subcompact car for day-to-day use that is not only luxurious but also reliable and fuel-efficient, then this is the vehicle you've been looking for.

Ford Escape Gets Recycled Plastic Bottle Interior

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford Motor Company is continually evolving and become more green in every aspect. That's why the Ford Escape is getting a recycled plastic bottle interior - sort of. Ford will be using recycled plastic bottles and other recycled materials to create various parts of the vehicle.

It's been calculated that the U.S. consumes 1500 plastic water bottles every second. The Ford Escape would use 25 of those bottles to make the carpeting of each vehicle - which at the rate that water bottles are consumed, each person could recycle enough bottles in one year to provide carpeting for 15 new Escapes. Ford has reported that since the Escape went on sale, nearly 7 million water bottles have been kept out of the landfill.

Before the plastic bottles, or any other recycled material, makes it into the interior of your car, it is put through rigorous durability testing. One test that is used is called a Taber 5150 which puts about 5-10 years of wear on carpet in about 10 minutes. After extensive testing, the recycled plastic bottles actually helped reduce wear significantly. A material is only used if it is the best meaning you get only the best quality.

The Ford Escape is getting a recycled plastic bottle interior, but it's not the only one. Many cars will have recycled parts as Ford expands its effort to stay green. If you'd like to see what recycled materials are currently in our cars, stop by our Northville Area Ford Dealer today! Our specialists can go over all the details with you, no matter if you're interested in a New Ford Truck or New Ford Car.
