Ford has some amazing vehicles for you to choose from as your first car. Be it a regular sedan, or a crossover SUV, Ford has it all covered.
In this article, we will be looking at a few Ford vehicles that will be great as your first car. We will, however, be avoiding cars like the GT and Mustang.
Fusion

As far as sedans go, the Fusion is a midsize car that you will love. It has a classy look to it while fiddling around with some modern tweaks. The Fusion may look a bit bulky at first glance. However, while driving, it will feel just like any other midsize sedan.
The Fusion has five seats and is front-wheel drive. It does 27 miles to the gallon and has a fuel tank capacity of 16.5 gallons. The 2023 model, with its six-speed automatic transmission, will put out 181 hp. The car offers a smooth ride with comfortable seating. It has a top-notch infotainment system as well as a large trunk.
The fuel economy in the Fusion, however, is subpar. People also do not like the fact that some of the things in the interior look a lot less modern compared to its rivals from Toyota and Honda. Yet, despite all the lackings, the Fusion is still a good car, thanks to its performance and ride comfort.
Even a used Ford Fusion will be able to put up with some of the latest sedans in the market when it comes to pricing. You can find premium-quality used Ford Fusion on sites like Gettacar.com at affordable prices.
EcoSport

Ford’s EcoSport has never really been a popular car. People over the years have gone as far as calling it an SUV-hatchback hybrid abomination. And you cannot blame these people for calling it out like that.
The old EcoSport somewhat deserved all the criticism it had received. For starters, it was never a good-looking car. The concept of a hatchback that gave you an SUV-like vibe was just not working. It had a sad look to it all the time as if it never wanted to exist in the first place.
However, with its 2023 version, the EcoSport seems to have gained a bit of charm. And as your first car, you just might fancy it.
The new version still has some of the old qualities to it. The EcoSport will do 25 miles to the gallon. It is still a 5-seater, 4 door hatchback with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. It has 166 hp, which may not be that high, but for a hatchback of its size, it will work just fine.
When you compare its price and fuel economy, the Fusion is a far better option. However, if you want something a bit more different to look at, the 2023 EcoSport can be a good option. It ditches the old front look and puts on a more aggressive appearance this time around. And thanks to these small changes in details, the car is no longer a big laughing stock.
Ranger

When you first look at the Ford Ranger, words like “cool”, “elegant”, and “sexy” come to mind. And that is a lot of praise for a midsize pickup truck.
The Ranger, however, deserves all that praise and more. And it is not just for the way this truck looks. It has a lot to do with its performance and quality as well.
The Ranger has 4-5 seats and is a 4-wheel drive pickup truck. It has 270 hp and will do around 26 miles to the gallon. The truck can carry anything from 1,430 to 1,860 pounds. It also has a towing capacity of a maximum of 7,500 pounds.
As a modern pickup truck, the Ranger has all the comforts and amenities you could ask for in a present-day sedan. The seating is comfortable and the infotainment system is not bad either.
In terms of driving and performance, the Ranger can pretty much drive through any type of terrain. It is the ideal truck for driving in winter conditions when the roads are covered with snow. You can also drive it through damp terrain with absolute ease. You will want the Ranger if you live in an area with troubling winters and heavy snowfalls.
All these are amazing options for your first car. Most of them will last you a very long time if you take proper care. You can also buy them second-hand if you want to save a bit of money. As long as you drive safely and properly, Ford will never let you down.
