Haven't you scoped the Ford Fiesta yet?

Sure it's kinda goofy, but Ricart Ford has been bringing the new 2011 Ford Fiesta to the people, if the people can not make it to the Fiesta!

Unless you have been hiding on a deserted island all summer long, you know the new Ford Fiesta is a hit, and are hard to find in various regions of the country... but not in Ohio, 'cause at Ricart Ford, we have a bunch of the new "rock star of cars", not by magic, but because we made sure to get enough from Ford to meet the demand. We knew the Fiesta was a big deal!

Ricart Ford has been hitting the street with the new Ford Fiesta, visiting parks, sporting events, fundraisers, offices... heck, we'll show up for your barbecue Saturday afternoon if you want! (Actually, we don't really have enough people to work at the store, and be at your house on Saturday, but you get the idea).

You've read about the new 2011 Fiesta and all the standard safety features, the equipment Ford put into the Fiesta that other makers wouldn't even dream of, the 40 plus miles per gallon, and all the rest, but to really get the Fiesta, you gotta drive one. So, if you don't see us pulling up in front of your office, or your kids soccer game, or that haunted hayride down the road, get to Ricart Ford in The Ricart Megamall and take the new Fiesta for a spin. That's when you'll get it too!

2011 Ford Mustang. Wow! Just, wow! See why at Ricart Ford.

Just in case you haven't heard yet, the 2011 regular Ford Mustang, you know, the V6 Mustang coupe, now has 305 horsepower. The GT now has 412 horsepower. Oh. and the v6 starts under $23,000 and both have $500 bonus cash... like you'd need convincing if you were asked on a date by a supermodel! And with rates as low as 2.9%, that supermodel is picking up the check at dinner too!

The new, 2011 Ford Mustangs have added their mark to an already amazing vehicle history right out of the gate, with rave reviews for its performance, economy, and reaffirmation of its iconic styling. And speaking of iconic, July 4th weekend will mark the Ford Mustang's entry onto the track in a NASCAR event, at Daytona International Speedway.

You certainly don't have to take our word for it on the new, 2011 Ford Mustangs, with Motor Trend giving you a technical overview, MuscularMustangs.com posting all kinds of 2011 Mustang information, and Ford's own Mustang pages offering you all kinds of neat Mustangy things to play around with. Go and check what they have to offer up on the matter, and then get to Ricart Ford in The Ricart Megamall so you can take one of the 80 or so Mustangs we have available for a drive on our exclusive 6 acre test track, because if there was ever a need to have an exclusive 6 acre test track, the 2011 Mustang is it!

Ricart Ford really does stuff for you after the sale. Really!

You certainly can tell summer is here, even if June 21st hasn’t shown up on the calendar yet. The smell of grilling drifts through the neighborhoods, school kids are getting antsy for that last day, Ricart Automotive Family activities are in full swing… oh, and the 2011 Mustangs are out, more the 2011 Super Duty trucks arrive almost daily, and the Fiesta is just around the corner. That’s a lot of stuff going on at The Ricart Megamall!

This past weekend, The Ricart Megamall played host to a Teen Driving Rally, two days of towing training, and Ford/ Microsoft SYNC clinic, all free to the public! Yeah, it does seem strange that a car dealer really does do things to enhance your automotive life AFTER YOU BUY, and even stranger to offer these programs to everyone, whether they are a Ricart customer or not! But that’s exactly what The Ricart Automotive Family does, regularly.

The Teen Driving Rally was a wildly successful and fun afternoon which combined driving safety with music, games, exhibitions, and prizes, all made possible by the collaboration of Columbus Division of Fire, MADD, Costco Wholesale, Columbus Public Health, Bloom School of Driving Dynamics, AAA, Sprint, Safe Communities, Sunny 95, The City of Columbus, American Family Insurance, and Ricart Automotive.

The towing training held both Saturday and Sunday, hosted by Ricart Ford with a hand from Paul’s Marine and Columbus Sail and Power Squadron allowed anyone who tows a trailer to learn the safest and most efficient ways to tow , and to gauge exactly what equipment best suits their needs. And as if we didn’t have a full enough weekend at Ricart, or SYNC Clinic helped even the most novice, low tech folks among us, easily learn how to use the Ford SYNC System, bringing them all happily into the twenty-first century.

You’ve got to admit, events like these enhance your vehicle ownership a bit more than an occasional call from a salesperson to see if you want another new car yet (if you even get that!). And at Ricart, we do this kind of stuff for you regularly. As a matter of fact, if you are into classic and custom cars and bikes, free live music, fun in the sun, all for a great cause, then join us at The Ricart Megamall Saturday (Mat 29th) from noon to six for the 2010 Earth Angel Car and Bike Super Cruise in, and “Be a Dream Maker”.

So I guess what we are saying is pretty simple. It’s one thing for a car dealer to say they value you after the sale, and completely another to actually offer you and your family experiences and activities that make your automotive life the best it can possibly be. That’s exactly what we do at Ricart Automotive.

If we don’t see you this weekend at The Ricart Megamall, we hope your family has a good Memorial Day weekend. Drive safely.

Ricart Ford in The Ricart Megamall hosted the area premiere of the new Ford 2011 Super Duty Trucks, and it was easy to see Ford has another hit on its hands… and in a few days, it can be in your driveway and at your work site!

Rather than hit you with a bunch more stats and hardcore specs, we’ll offer up some simple, but telling observations about the 2011 Super Duty. The one we were all over was a Lariat Crew Cab with the new 6.7L Power Stroke.

Quiet. No, really… it is quiet. And to be honest, it was even quieter until Ford began to test the new engine and folks said it was too quiet, so Ford actually tweaked it to make a little of the noise diesel owners and operators find so soothing.

Clean. Just stick your nose near the tailpipe of the new Ford Power Stroke and smell. You’ll see. It’s actually cleaner than the emissions from any other combustion engine vehicle on the lot.


Economical. Like in 18% fuel economy increase for the new Power Stroke, although there is a rumor that on a test track in Cali, somebody unofficially managed to squeeze 32 mpg out of Ford’s new diesel in an F250 4X2.


Versatile. The new 2011 Ford Super Duty has best in class maximum towing and Gross Combined Weight Rating, Best in class maximum payload and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, and the Ford only 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch prep package, to name a few features which make the new 2011 Super Duty, the best truck ever.



Technology. Umm, most of this stuff is pretty heady, so see it all at this Ford site. The first of the 2011 Super Duty trucks for sale will be arriving at Ricart Ford any day, so you can call 877-244-0656 to set up a test drive so you can be one of the first owners of the All-New 2011 Ford Super Duty!

The new 2011 Ford F-Super Duty will be at Ricart Ford in The Ricart Megamall on Monday March 29th, and if you can get to The Megamall on Hamilton Road that Monday, you can join us and be among the first to scope out the toughest, cleanest, most economical Ford F-Super Duty yet. Oh, and there are a lot of technological advances too, which make the 2011 Super Duty the smartest truck ever.

From the new 6.7 liter Ford Built Diesel engine, giving best in class torque and horsepower, AND fuel economy, to the amazing driver information system that tops all other full-size trucks, to the standard side curtain and seat mounted airbags that come standard on all models, and everything else you’ll find on the new 2011 F-Super Duty, Ford had gotten it right… again! Make that even better than right, and you’ll see whyat Ricart Ford in the Ricart Megamall Monday March 29th, with appetizers and beveragesprovided by WHOK 95.5 The Hawk, and the chance to win $10,000 in genuine FordAccessories!

Not to sound any alarms or anything, but do you find yourself kind of questioning the safety of that Toyota you see on the road behind you… next to you… in front of you… the one you drive? You are not alone as you think it. Quality just isn’t synonymous with Toyota anymore, and so it seems safety may be lacking as well.


So with the long standing mantra that Toyota is a fabulous manufacturer sadly rusting away like an old Yugo, folks are turning away from Toyota in rising numbers, and turning to a vehicle company that offers quality and safety in cars, trucks, and other vehicles people actually love to own. Ford.


No matter how long someone has owned import cars, there is a certain comfort and familiarity when they climb into a new Ford. And when they drive that Ford, they suddenly “get it”. That’s why more than one former Toyota owner has asked themselves why they waited so long to get a Ford. We’ll leave the soul searching to them.


With the U.S. Transportation Secretary initially calling for Toyota owners to park their cars if they can’t get them fixed immediately, the software problems, the refusal of some lenders to give loans to buy new Toyotas, and all the rest of the problems, now is the right time to pick out the Ford you like, and drive one!
