Extremely fuel-efficient. I drove from Arden, Ontario to Burlington, Ontario and back, and used just over a half-tank.
I had the braking module changed on it since I bought it used in 2012. I drove out west with it and back, in -30c weather in the winter time, and the brakes work great. I had two minor front end collisions that were not the car's fault. One, because of tires and very bad road, and the other because of night-time driving. All Ford model parts replacement, no after market. Front bumper changed and some little things. I can provide a list for serious interest only. I have gotten excellent Ford report cards on the car. Interior charcoal fabric. Car starter, remote lock and factory alarm system, combination entry on driver's side, very beautiful rims, ambient lights under the side mirrors that show off the car, at night. Very comfortable seating. Back seats all have adjustable headrests and good leg room. (I am tall!) It has all the bells and whistles, except for sunroof. Hands-free phone connection, digital display and computer plugins, satellite, 6 cd changer, driver and front passenger separate environmental controls, multiple power plugins for cell phone or anything that plugs into a cigarette lighter. BTW, this is a non-smoking vehicle. This car does not need to be plugged in - ever - since I had it. It self charges when it runs. It is very quiet when in gas mode, and silent when in electric mode. It alternates on its own between modes, depending on your acceleration, or also, when it is idle. When idle, it will alternate every 10-12 minutes between modes. I have kept up with oil changes. If you put the high-quality oil, you do not need to change it for about 10,000km. And I recommend going to Ford for tune-ups - as this is their specialty car that they know well. It doesn't cost me more to go to a Ford dealer, in fact, they want to be competitive, so it has worked out for me. This is the most fuel-efficient, one of the most comfortable, and one of the sexiest cars I have ever driven. My circumstances have changed and I need to sell it. This is a nice car for a professional or for your wife! There is a lien on this car. Please email me for offers. Negotiable. |

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China
Sat, 19 Apr 2014According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
