2019 Ford Fiesta

If you commute to work, consider purchasing the 2019 Ford Fiesta. This vehicle’s features are suitable for the needs of any commuter looking to get to work on time. Here are four reasons why you should purchase a 2019 Ford Fiesta for your commute today: 

1. Excellent Road Performance 

The 2019 Ford Fiesta provides you with the choice of two engines to improve your commute, including the 1.6L Ti-VCT I-4 (S and SE Models) or the turbocharged 1.6L EcoBoost (ST Model). You can get these models with either a manual transmission or a powershift six-speed automatic transmission to personalize your driving experience. 

This vehicle has electric power-assisted steering (EPAS), which is more efficient than traditional steering because the electric motor uses less power compared to a hydraulic pump. Also, using electric steering leads to less maintenance so you can spend more time driving and less time at the mechanic. 

The electric motor includes speed-sensitive technology that enhances the way you change lanes and grip the steering wheel. For instance, an EPAS vehicle may offset pulling or drifting caused by steady crosswinds or rough road surfaces. 

Another performance feature on this vehicle is the AdvanceTrac, an anti-lock braking system that automatically applies the brakes of the vehicle and regulates the engine’s torque if the vehicle detects a wheelslip. This feature is ideal if you’re navigating through difficult weather conditions on your way to work such as snow, ice, gravel, or rain. 

2. Affordable Cost and Good Fuel Economy

You can purchase this vehicle at an MSRP of $14,260 for the S model sedan, while the ST model starts at $21,340. Either way, this is an affordable purchase for commuters aiming to upgrade their vehicle. 

You can also save money with the 2019 Fiesta’s high fuel economy, as all five models get over 30 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg or more within the city. For example, the S, SE Sedan, the SE Hatch, and the SE-Line all get 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. However, the ST gets 25 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. 

3. Robust Safety Features 

The 2019 Ford Fiesta offers a safe commuting experience. This vehicle is comprised of high-strength boron steel to strengthen critical areas, including the structure of the floor, the front rails and beams, and reinforcement on the sides. 

The Fiesta also comes with seven air bags to protect you in case of a collision. Side-curtain air bags with roll-fold technology ensure the protection of a passenger’s head from hitting the window’s glass, and the driver is protected with an air bag between their knees and the car’s dashboard. 

4. SMART Technology 

The 2019 Fiesta’s SYNC3 is voice-activated technology that enables you to give commands to your smartphone during your commute. SYNC AppLink permits you to speak to compatible apps on your smartphone like Waze to find the fastest way to work. You can share traffic updates with other drivers while staying up-to-date on traffic jams and road hazards.
