Love on the Road 2013 – a recent survey conducted by YourTango.com in collaboration with Ford – reveals how couple time in the car has a positive impact on relationships.
Virtually 90 percent of surveyed couples who have taken a road trip together say it strengthens their relationship. And being in the right kind of car is key to forging that bond.
For almost half of those asked, the car of choice for this important journey is a sedan, and with its stylish, all-new Fusion, Ford offers the perfect car for a romantic getaway.
“We applaud Ford for being the first automotive manufacturer to understand the importance to couples of personal time together in the car,” says YourTango CEO Andrea Miller. “We are proud to work with Ford to share our Love on the Road insights with drivers across the country.”
The survey also reveals that more than 77 percent of couples look forward to taking more trips with their significant other.
The best reason to take a road trip together is not where they’re going, say 44 percent, but the fun and adventure of the trip itself. More than 40 percent say the quality time afforded them is the best reason for a road trip.
And now, as summer driving season gets into full swing, more than 90 percent of couples indicate they will be taking a road trip together.
