Ford Motor Co. is known for building quality cars, trucks and SUVs. They are made to last and perform throughout their lifetime. So, it comes as no surprise that Yahoo! Autos has ranked three different Ford vehicles as the top used cars to buy in 2013. The 2006-2011 Ford Mustang GT, the 2006-2011 Ford F-150 and the 2007-2011 Ford Fusion were all rated as the top used vehicles in their respective class.
2010 Ford Mustang GT
The Ford Mustang GT was the first of its kind to bring back the retro-styled muscle car look. The years selected by Yahoo! Autos, represent two generations of styling for the Mustang, but Ford really hit the nail on the head with both mirroring ’60s-era styling. Under their long hoods driving will find burbling V8s with an output ranging from 300 HP in earlier versions up to a seriously impressive 412 hp in the ’11 model.
Unlike the cantankerous ’60s models, the modern Mustangs provide a measure of practicality blended with plenty of fun. In addition to sizzling straight-line acceleration, a used Ford Mustang GT will also provide good handling on a curvy road (yes, even with its solid rear axle) along with ample everyday practicality.
2011 Ford F-150
The Ford F-Series has been the top-selling vehicle line in America for over three decades for many good reasons. The F-150 is one of the best examples. It features a large variety of trim levels and cab styles, a comfortable interior with sound ergonomics, communicative and precise steering, smooth power plants and best-in-class brake. There is no match for the Ford F-150.
Fully redesigned in 2009, Ford brought more powerful engines along with styling inspired by Ford’s Super Duty pickup truck line. Regardless of the year and configuration you select, the amazing popularity of the Ford F-series truck makes it fairly easy to find a used Ford truck that suits you perfectly.
2011 Ford Fusion
Both of the first generations of the Fusion are represented: 2006-2009 and 2010-2012 Yahoo! Autos selections. The two versions of this midsize sedan offers attractive styling, a spacious cabin, responsive driving dynamics and a solid build. The Ford also offers something rather rare in this segment: a sporty driving personality to go along with its practicality. Ford offers a hybrid Fusion in addition to the four- and six-cylinder gasoline engines. It debuted for 2010, sporting a 39 MPG combined fuel economy rating.
There have been some notable changes over the years. In the 2007 or newer Ford Fusion, front-seat side and full-length side curtain airbags became standard. A factory navigation system and all-wheel drive also became available in 2007. The 2009 model year brought optional stability control — a desirable safety feature. Apart from its refreshed front and rear styling, the second-generation Fusion looks similar to the first, but consumers should take note that this later version of the Ford Fusion has more powerful engines and more standard safety features.
