Waterfall welcomes County Ford Waterfall – the car dealership that can … writes James Siddall.
A quick drive through Waterfall is enough to remind anyone that this once-sleepy little suburb is exploding with growth. And further proof of this is that County Ford Waterfall has recently opened its doors – brilliant news for anyone in the market for cutting-edge wheels.
After all, this promises to be a car dealership like no other with a key focus on offering the customer and the local community a sales experience and service of a calibre that you’ve quite possibly never encountered before. As for the cars, well, they practically sell themselves.
Take but the all-new Ford Fusion (which seems to have a slight and rather beguiling hint of Aston Martin styling to it). This machine elevates the brand to simply unprecedented levels and besides those intoxicating lines it positively explodes with cutting-edge technology – from Ford’s adaptive LED headlamps to safety features of the sort that border on the science fiction. These include Pre-Collision Assist with Head-Up Display. What this system basically does is detect a potential crash and apply the brakes if the driver doesn’t respond to audible and visual warnings. Amazing.
Still other highlights of the fantastic Fusion include features such as a power-adjustable, memory-equipped steering column, Ford Multi-Contour Seats with unique Active Motion massage function and Ford’s revolutionary SYNC 2 connectivity system. And that’s just for starters. Powering the Fusion is a range of petrol engines including the 1.5-litre EcoBoost and 2-litre EcoBoost motors, and the phenomenally powerful 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine that pours out 132kW and a stump-pulling 400Nm of torque.
“Fusion is the most technologically advanced Ford vehicle ever introduced in South Africa,” as Ford themselves put it. And that’s no hyperbole.
Meanwhile, the level of sophistication and sybaritism that this car offers is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced from the blue oval.
To get behind the wheel of a Fusion – or any other fantastic Ford – visit County Ford Waterfall, headed up by the superbly professional and friendly Mandy Cater. And it so happens that their coffee is great, too!
