2010 Ford Fiesta – Reliable, safe and fuel efficient.
Ford’s position as Britain’s top choice for new-drivers has been underlined with the announcement of a major new vehicle supply deal with the AA Driving School.
Ford has equipped AA Driving School on an exclusive basis for the last 12 years, and this new contract extends the partnership to 2012, with 2,700 cars a year being supplied. For the first time, 1.4L Ford Fiestas will be introduced to the AA Driving School fleet alongside the 1.6L equipped Ford Focus’ to provide instructors and pupils with greater choice.
“Ford and the AA are both very powerful brands in the UK,” said Kevin Griffin, Ford’s director of fleet operations. “We are delighted to be extending our 12-year relationship with the AA Driving School.”
Ford has been the number one vehicle brand in the UK for 34 years and supports the AA Driving School in offering new drivers the highest quality introduction to their driving experience from day one. With Fiesta and Focus first and second in the UK car market, AA and Ford are providing the right vehicles for new drivers to start years of future driving.
The opportunity to choose between a Ford Focus and a Ford Fiesta has pleased instructors: “It’s great news that instructors will now have the choice between a Focus or Fiesta for lessons,” said AA instructor Vicki Livermore. “Many pupils go on to buy a Ford after driving one for 40-plus hours as a learner, as they are then familiar with its advantages and the layout of the controls.
“Comfort is the first word that comes to mind about working in a Ford, even after spending eight-plus hours in it every day. Of course reliability is also important and so is the high specification. I have been giving tuition in the Ford Focus for more than four years with no problems whatsoever.”
“Many of my pupils comment on how easy it is to drive, especially those with previous experience of driving other makes and models. They are generally impressed by the overall quality plus the extras that they have not previously experienced.”
Deliveries of the new Ford vehicles to AA Driving School’s 1,800 franchised instructors will begin in February with cars being replaced at eight-month intervals. AA Driving School is the only national driving school committed to using only fully qualified instructors and 97 percent of pupils say they would recommend AA Driving School to other new drivers.
