Baton Rouge, LA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2011 -- Hollingsworth Richards Ford, a leading Ford dealer in Lafayette, is happy to announce that models of the technology-infused Ford Fiesta have arrived at the dealership! The Ford Fiesta provides drivers with an affordable sedan that provides drivers with more technology than they imagine and an impressive fuel efficiency to match it.

Car shoppers looking for a new Ford in Lafayette should consider the 2011 Ford Fiesta. Drivers will be impressed with it from the inside out. The 2011 Ford Fiesta SE is powered by a 1.6-liter twin-independent variable cam timing Duractec V4 engine with 120 horsepower that is built for both quick sprints and long distances.

The 2011 Ford Fiesta SE’s main feature is its incredible fuel efficiency. Thanks to rapid-fire shifting, the all-new Fiesta is enhanced by a powertrain control module making real-time adjustments, producing efficient mobility.

The Fiesta also boosts many aerodynamic design characteristics that help minimize air resistance and increase fuel efficiency, such as the aero-shaped body-mounted mirrors and the line-cut into the rear tail lamps.

Ford drivers in Lafayette will enjoy long road trips with fewer stops at the gas station as the 2011 Ford Fiesta can achieve 28 mpg city and 37 mpg highway when using the manual transmission. Customers using the automatic transmission can get 29 mpg city and a whopping 38 mpg highway.

Just because a car achieves great gas mileage doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have the best entertainment features available. The 2011 Ford Fiesta SE in Lafayette comes with incredible entertainment and technology options. Customers have the option of having SYNC by Microsoft to make everything a whole lot easier. SYNC is an in-car connectivity system that allows drivers to easily sync their phone, mp3 device, or iPod with a couple easy steps. The SYNC lets drivers make hands-free phone calls, control music with simple voice commands, receive traffic alerts, get directions and much more.

Customers can also enjoy a six-month trial of Sirius Satellite Radio, intelligent access with a push-button start,
a four-inch multifunctional LCD display, an AM/FM/MP3 stereo with four speakers and a capless fuel filler.

Lafayette Ford drivers will feel safe while cruising in the 2011 Ford Fiesta SE, which was recently honored with the “Top Safety Pick” award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
