Springfield, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2012 -- U.S. News set out to find the best cars at the best prices in their 2012 Best Cars for the Money awards. In the affordable midsize car segment, the 2012 Ford Fusion was named the Best Car for the Money and Springfield Ford Lincoln is pleased to announce that the Philadelphia area can now find this award-winning model at its dealership.

In making its decision, U.S. News considered their Best Car rankings as well as TrueCar.com’s five-year total cost of ownership calculations. The 2012 Ford Fusion not only received excellent reviews; it also boasted a low price tag and lower long-term costs.

Springfield Ford Lincoln has over thirty 2012 Ford Fusions in stock, including the hybrid model. This affordable midsize sedan is powered by a 2.5-liter 175-horsepower engine that gets an estimated 23 mpg in the city and 33 mph on the highway. The Sport trim comes with a 3.5-liter 263-horsepower V6 engine. Fuel economy on this trim is estimated at 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Those who opt for the hybrid will receive 41 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.

The Ford Fusion is an affordable car but it is also a great value thanks to its long list of standard features. These include heated side mirrors, fog lamps, heated and power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, self-dimming rearview mirror, leather seats, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, keyless entry keypad, steering wheel-mounted controls, universal garage door opener, and Ford’s Sync system.

Of course a car will not be considered a good value if it lacks safety. That is why the 2012 Fusion comes equipped with side-curtain airbags, AdvanceTrac with traction control, personal safety system, post-crash alert system, tire pressure monitor, and antilock brakes.

Springfield Ford Lincoln is proud to offer this award-winning sedan to the local community.
