Ford has recently developed cars that are car-insurance
friendly. Their new line of cars are designed that they will be cheaper to repair and maintain which can help the car owners to get lower auto insurance premiums. This is just quite fitting in this time of financial crisis.
Ford is also joining the bandwagon of car companies, nowadays, which has special offer special promos to shoulder a certain percentage of the car insurance premium of new Ford card owners. Ford also offers its new owners the payment protection plan. Payment protection plan gives protection to someone who loses his job. Ford will pay the car insurance for 1 year if you lose your job. These are quite good reasons to own a Ford car now.
Ford also has a Ford Motor Company Insurance Services where their customers can get car insurance for ford vehicles. The Ford Motor Company Insurance Services works with selected various car insurance companies. This is to ensure that ford car owners has a way to receive quality protection.

Ford 2009 Sport Trac
Reader’s Question:
I’d like a Ford that has the versatility of a pick-up and something I can use for a daily drive around Texas. What can you recommend?

Howdy, Norman! So you, Norman, wants something not of the normal variety. Looking at the Ford line-up, I’m inclined to recommend that you test drive the 2009 Ford Sport Trac. Ford made this to have the functional features of a pick-up but having the style and comfort of an SUV. Nice, isn’t it? Now, that should be other than the normal cars, SUVs, and pick-ups you see daily on the roads of Texas.
The Ford motor company built this thing on the Explorer platform so you can expect some SUV-like qualities to the interiors that meet Ford SUV standards. That should take care of your daily driving comfort. In terms of powering this truck/ SUV, there’s a standard 4.0 V6 with 5 speed automatic transmission, powerful enough to crank out 210 horsepower. If you want more from the Sport Trac, you can try the available V8 engine trim that churns 292 horses with about 300 lbs-ft of torque. This will come in handy if you decide to bring a lot of stuff with you. If you’re more of a “drive anywhere” person, there’s four wheel drive available for the Sport Trac as an option for the rear-wheel drive base model. So there, the Sport Trac is that versatile vehicle for you, Norman.
2009 Ford Focus Houston Dealer
Reader’s Question:
So what’s up with the 2009 Ford Focus? Will there be enough pull for me to go to a Ford dealer here in Houston, Texas? I’m calling for some advice here.

Hello there, Phillip. I’m guessing that the best answer to your question is that the Ford motor company has upped the ante for the compact sedan market with its 2009 Ford Focus. I think most of the 2009 Focus owners in Houston, Texas are quite fond of the current year model. Although I’m not in the market for a new car right now, I figured that there are more than a couple of things to note in the new Focus.
Upped the ante, what exactly did I mean by that? Well, Ford has the 2.0 liter Duratec engine that’s supposed to give you 35 miles to a gallon. That’s almost the performance of a hybrid. But of course, that’s their standard rating. Actual values could prove to be like 3 to 4 points off, but still good for a sedan. What caught my eye in terms of features, though, is the SYNC system. Oh, my, I am still a techno freak. The SYNC system is supposed to integrate, via Bluetooth, a phone and even your digital music player. I think this feature on a Ford will prove to be very valuable in terms of safety. Nothing distracts a driver more than his or her mobile phone. So just imagine, having it all integrated in your car and voice-activated. You can even fetch a song from your music player through voice. WOW. That’s what I said, too.
Happy Focus-ing, Phillip.
