Ford SYNC
Ford revolutionized driving when the automaker introduced the SYNC system a couple years ago. Today, that system is still going strong and it is one of the most popular features car buyers look for when buying a new car. The SYNC system offers handy features like a vehicle health report, real-time traffic reports, audible text messages, hands-free calling and so much more. It is a Because it is mainly voice-controlled, the Ford Sync is also a great safety feature to have on your 2010 Ford Focus Coupe.

Safety
According to U.S. News and World Report Rankings and Reviews, the 2010 Ford Focus Coupe gets an 8.3, or “Very Good,” when it comes to safety. In federal crash test ratings, this car does very well. The 2009 model was given a “Top Safety Pick” by the insurance industry. However, the 2010 model has not completed its safety rating test, but it should get a top honor as well. The new MyKey System, another Ford innovation, comes standard on the 2010 Ford Focus Coupe and has parents raving about its safety. The system does not allow the vehicle to go above 80 miles per hour and it disables the radio or audio when the seatbelts are not fastened. It also creates a loud chime once the vehicle reaches 45, 55 and 65 miles per hour. As a result, parents love the MyKey system for the teen drivers.

Performance
The 2010 Ford Focus Coupe is not exactly the fastest or most powerful car in its segment, but it does get great gas mileage to make up for that. With a 2.0-liter engine with only four cylinders, you won’t be squealing away from the stop lights but you will get 24 miles to the gallon in the city and upwards of 35 miles per gallon on the highways. That’s a good exchange for extreme horsepower. You can choose between a five-speed manual transmission which comes standard on the 2010 Ford Focus Coupe or you can choose the four-speed automatic which is an option for only about $800.

But don’t take our word for it. Visit your Omaha area Ford dealers today and take one for a test drive. You will see that the reviews people are posting are not exaggerated!

There’s a common truck driver Catch-22 – if the truck is big enough, the driving experience is lousy, but if the truck handles well and gets great mileage, there’s no space to haul in the bed or the backseat. The 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac manages to eliminate the problem with a midsize pickup that’s half SUV, which makes the interior roomy and capable of carrying tons of cargo, but leaves the driving experience smooth and effortless. For those who want it all, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac is one of the only vehicles that solves this problem effortlessly, in a beautifully designed package.

The design is half SUV, half pickup, with four full doors instead of the dinky little half-doors that you see on most trucks. Those doors are usually a fair indication of the amount of legroom a passenger has to put up with inside – about a third of an average-sized seat, which is uncomfortable for anyone but small children. On the Ford Explorer Sport Trac, those seats are fully extended with plenty of legroom and extremely comfortable design, which means you can actually seat four adults comfortably, with a child or a smaller fifth adult in the middle rear seat.

You’d think that giving so much space to the passengers would rob the Ford Explorer Sport Trac of its cargo and carrying capacity, but you’d be wrong. The cargo bed is smaller than your average pickup’s, but it’s extremely wide and roomy, with a 4.5-foot utility box. If you need even more room for cargo and don’t happen to be carrying extra passengers that day, the Sport Trac actually allows you to extend your carrying capacity by putting down the 60/40 split rear seats to make another flat cargo area for anything that wouldn’t fit in the bed.

The argument over which is more important, cargo or passenger space, has proponents on either side who clearly haven’t hear that the Sport Trac is the solution to all their woes. Those two camps agree on one thing, though – power is still the most important factor in both trucks and SUVs. So what does the Ford Explorer Sport Trac have under the hood?

The answer to that question should put any remaining qualms to rest. The Sport Trac comes standard with a 4.0-liter V6 that puts out 210 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque, with a five-speed automatic transmission that shifts through the gears easily and effortlessly. The drive itself is as quiet and smooth as you could want, even with the huge capacity of the Sport Trac. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in a little more than 8 seconds, and can tow up to 7,160 lbs. The fuel economy is pretty darn decent too, getting 20 mpg on the highway.

Cargo capacity + lots of passenger room + power = the 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. It’s an equation no one else seems to have mastered, but that’s all right. Just so long as Ford’s doing the smart math so you can get the vehicle that you want.

The new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO is certainly attracting quite the buzz for the Ford Motor Company since it has been traveling around the country to be shown at auto shows.
