2012 Ford Edge – Opening Day Drive Around Brighton, MI

BRIGHTON, Mich. April 9, 2012 – We took the 2012 Ford Edge out to grab some lunch at the Green Oaks Village Place mall at Buffalo Wild Wings and to watch the start of the Detroit Tigers 2012 opening game.  The 2012 Edge had all of the great features you could want in your Ford. The Edge has “his and hers” seat setting preferences. With just the click of a button your seat moves into that “just right” setting you saved it to, perfect for families that share vehicles.  This 2012 Edge, like many of our great New Ford Vehicles at Brighton Ford came with SYNC technology. With a click of a button on the steering wheel and a voice command we had the ball game playing on the radio without ever taking a hand off the wheel.

Being a passenger in the 2012 Edge was just as much fun as driving it! The interior was very spacious in both the passenger seat and in the second row. The best part about being a passenger in the Ford Edge was leaning the seat back to enjoy the view out of the beautiful panoramic moon roof. The automatic lift gate on the trunk is a huge help for those trips from the grocery store where you don’t have a hand to close the trunk.  This feature also comes in handy if your heading to the golf course with your friends, and there is more than enough room for everyone’s clubs in the trunk.  

The 2012 Ford Edge is also a great family vehicle. Drivers with younger children can take comfort in knowing that the Ford Edge met or exceeded the IIHS safety standards in ALL categories.  And speaking of safety, the back-up camera makes backing out of a tight parking space with limited visibility safer and easier than ever. If any object is behind the Edge before it backs out or while the vehicle is in motion an alarm will sounds letting you know something is in your path.

Available Ford Features Review and Demonstrations on the 2012 Explorer

BRIGHTON, Mich. Feb. 24, 2012 - We have all seen the Ford commercials advertising all of these crazy technological features. If you’re like most you wonder what these features actually do, if they really work, or if you really need them. We wanted to clear up any mysteries and show you first hand some of the awesome features in action right here in Brighton, not in a commercial on a closed course. To demonstrate these features we took the 2012 Explorer out around busy downtown Brighton.

MyFord Touch With SYNC is an excellent co-pilot

Every great journey starts at the beginning, and in this case, with the push start feature. Apply pressure to the brake and press the ignition button and just like that, your Ford fires right up. AV plugins and USB plugins allow you to connect media devices to your Ford so you can take your entertainment on the road with you to play through your MyFord Touch with SYNC. MyFord Touch and SYNC do much more than keep you entertained, it’s a virtual co-pilot that will help you navigate, make and take phone calls, and even can give you a vehicle health report for your Ford.

Taking your Ford on an adventure has never been easier with the Terrain Management System. Turn the dial to match the road conditions and you’ll have much better traction control for your off road expeditions and drives on the snowy and muddy Livingston County back roads. With full rear climate control, including head and feet directional settings and 110-volt outlet your back seat passengers can plug in portable DVD players, phone and game chargers, and much more so they can stay entertained while you stay focused on the road. 

We have demonstrated these amazing features for you here in this video:

 

Another fantastic feature available on many Fords is the rear view camera, which displays what’s behind you on the MyFord Touch display. The guidelines show you an outline of that’s in between your tires, your distance away from objects, and a directional guideline that shows you exactly where your heading. The rear view camera preludes possibly the best feature on many new Fords, the Active Park Assist.

Just press the button and your Ford will parallel park itself, its that easy!

The Active Park Assist feature takes control and flawlessly parallel parks your Ford for you, perfect for parallel parking on the busy streets of downtown Brighton when you are going out to eat at Lou and Carl’s or Bagger Dave’s or to shop at Impulse. Here’s how it works: You press the Park Assist Button to engage the Park Assist mode. Your Ford then scans the right side of the road for a break between cars to locate a fitting parking spot. Once you’re asked to stop and put it in reverse and your Ford will take it from there, keep in mind you still control the speed and the shifting. Don’t be afraid, take your hands off the wheel (keep a foot on the brake) and watch in astonishment as your Ford seamlessly maneuvers the parking task many drivers fear more than anything. Park Assist is available on the 2012 and 2013 Explorer, 2012 Escape, 2012 Flex, and 2012 Focus.

Come into Brighton Ford for a test drive and experience these amazing features for yourself.
