The figures, translated
Fuel use for this model year: Rating on request; heavier trucks and vans are often outside the EPA ratings.
How big it is
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the LTD tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
