New York Car Rental and the Ford Taurus

New York City Car Rental and the Ford Focus

Consumers were ready for something fresh and new when Ford decided to introduce the Focus in North American during the 2000 model season, and they weren't disappointed! This imaginatively designed vehicle was an instant hit in the US and overseas becoming a trend-setting model for the new millennium. The small but tall body of the Ford Focus creates a larger than expected interior supporting raised seating and impressive handling. Although the car is located low to the ground, entering and exiting the Ford Focus New York car rental is relatively comfortable thanks to the raised seat technology, while a "Control Blade" in the rear suspension helps to steering the Focus on a dime. Action Car Rental is excited to offer this popular consumer vehicle as one of their numerous economy New York car rentals.

Of the four basic Focus models available, each has its own unique engine design. The LX and SE sedans are powered by a 2.0 liter, 110 horsepower motor, with an economically sound fuel consumption rate of 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers on the expressway. The Zx3 and ZTS models include a 16 valve Zetec engine that is capable of producing 130 horsepower at 5300 rpms. In 2002 a new hatchback addition was added to the Ford family called the ZX5. This sport car offered seating for five along with a split rear seat that could be folded flat for expanded cargo space. This hot new vehicle was Fords addition to the foreign vehicle-dominated hatchback category, a growing segment in the auto industry today.
