Drive Around Philly in a Fabulous Used Ford

The city of brotherly love is filled to the brim with famous historical sites, family-friendly adventures, and trendy local hotspots that you won’t want to miss out on. In order to take in all of the charming character and fun excitement that this popular city has to offer, you need a reliable car or SUV. Between notorious winter storms, high-traffic roadways, and tight parking spaces, Philly demands a lot of patience and skill from the drivers who dare to pass through. Luckily, the payoff of owning a car in Philly keeps you from waiting around in snow boots at the bus stop. The benefits of finding the right size Ford, properly equipped with safety features, cannot be underestimated. At Allentown Kia, we have some great options for pre-owned cars for sale when it comes to Ford. And, we’re only an hour drive from Philadelphia, located in Allentown, PA. Don’t miss out on our favorite pre-owned Fords to get you from point A to point B with comfort and style. 

The Ford Fusion 

The Ford Fusion is the perfect midsize sedan for navigating around this lively city. Fit into a tight parking space with ease at one of Philadelphia’s many award-winning food establishments. For a treat from Federal Donuts or a stiff drink at Friday Saturday Sunday, head into the bustling frenzy at Rittenhouse Square. This five-passenger Ford has enough space to comfortably fit you and your best friends without the added hassle of owning a larger, more cumbersome vehicle. 

Planning a road trip to New York City or the Berkshires? A pre-owned Ford Fusion is a fuel-efficient, safe way to take you anywhere you want to go. Take on the winters without a second thought — first-generation Fusions from 2007 and beyond offered all-wheel drive options on their V6 models. For 2010, the Ford Fusion was named as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Are you trying to save on gas? The gasoline-electric hybrid version launched in March 2009. EPA ratings for the hybrid were 41 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway. These favorable statistics lead to Kelley Blue Book’s recognition of the 2010 Fusion Hybrid as one of its Top 10 Green Cars in 2009. 

For a newer pre-owned car, consider a second-generation Ford Fusion. This generation was produced from 2013 on with five different powertrains, including two hybrid variants. You can find more driver-assistance technology in a pre-owned Fusion from the second generation, as Ford began employing the use of radar, sensors, and cameras to optimize driver confidence. Features like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning, active park assist, back-up cameras, and a blind spot information system are commonly included among its various trim levels. 

The Ford Escape   

For a little extra space, a pre-owned Ford Escape definitely fits the bill. With enough space for a car seat or two, you can load up this crossover with little ones and make your way to visit Elmo and the gang at Sesame Place. Four generations of the Fusion have come out since its introduction in 2000. Early models from the first generation (built through 2007) include the following standard equipment: power door locks and windows, anti-lock brakes, keyless entry, a folding rear-bench seat, 16-inch wheels, and air conditioning. 

In 2005, gasoline-electric hybrid versions hit the market, providing the perfect balance of fuel economy in an SUV. This version was an impressive 70% more efficient than the non-hybrid version, making it an appealing variant for drivers of both the past and present day. The full hybrid version with front-wheel drive is rated to offer 30 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway. Not only do you stand to save by buying pre-owned, the savings follow you down to the gas pump in a hybrid Escape. 

On a second-generation Escape (manufactured from 2008-2012), you’ll find the electronic stability control system included on all standard models. Styling updates during this generation, and then again for the third generation in 2013, give each version of the Escape a distinctively strong look. Instead of splurging on the latest fourth generation for 2020, snag a slightly pre-owned 2018 or 2019 model for a fraction of the price. 

The Ford Edge   

Another great value can be found in the midsize SUV from Ford, the Ford Edge. Take the kids and their friends for a day trip to LegoLand Discovery Center in this spacious vehicle with plenty of space to stretch out. The Ford Edge has a history of being super family-friendly. As early as 2007, the Ford Edge was recognized by AAA and Parent’s Magazine as “One of the Best Cars for Families.” It was also chosen as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. 

The second-generation vehicles, from 2015 through the present, are part of a redesign that brought more interior space to the Ford Edge, along with a handy rearview camera. All models were made with the option of all-wheel drive, only furthering the Edge’s reputation as a safe ride. Horsepower is 180 or 210, depending on whether the manual or automatic transmission was selected. An impressive towing capacity of 3,500 pounds makes this SUV a valuable asset for even the toughest household jobs. Use it to tow a bulky new couch or mattress all the way from Grossman’s to your apartment or house outside of the city. Who said you need a truck or a Uhaul to take care of your business? A second generation Ford Edge has all the power required to handle heavy towing in and out of Philly.
