The Fusion has auto-lock AND auto-unlock. When you stop the car and open the front door the rear doors automatically unlock.
 
Also - all Fords allow you to open the front doors without unlocking them.
 
A Lincoln LS owner modified his car to do the auto-unlock when the car was put into Park (auto-unlock wasn't a feature on the early models).

That is one minor thing I find annoying in my Mazda compared to previous Fords...that you have to unlock the door before opening it. Is this a Japanese thing? The only other car we have had that worked that way was a Nissan.
 
My wife's VW has auto locking and is programmed to unlock all doors when key is removed. That set up is optional, but even without setting it up that way, you can open the front doors without having to first unlock them.

I am so sick of customers say "can i get bluetooth? No, oh will I don't want aftermarket, I'll go buy a Nissan..."
 
Now I can say "Bluetooth? thats all you want? well this car is just way to pimp for you then. Not only do you get blue tooth, you can switch between handset and handsfree on the SAME CALL! You can control your ipod...USING VOICE COMMANDS!...Now thats what i'm talking about....

Too bad you need the nav system to get all the functionality and screen. That makes it way more than $395 in real cost. Looks good though.
Now all they need is stability control and a higher fuel economy model. Maybe 2009 will be year to buy a Fusion.

I think you still get a video screen with Sync even without the Nav - it's just smaller.

You don't need the screen to run the systm. It uses voice commands. You don't get a screen other than what is on the radio which is a couple of lines.
 
On cars with Nav, you get functions displayed on the screen.
 
Synch will be STANDARD in Focus SES!

One thing that always bothered me about Ford and GM. They were always crowing about how great their build quality is .. what a big improvement over the past.
 
But they never would put their money where their mouth is. It was all just a lot of talk. I would have purchased a Ford or GM product long ago if they had improved their all-inclusive warranty from 36/36,000 to 60/60,000. Hyundai had a horrible reputation but they stood behind their product and sales have soared.
 
I once asked why Ford and GM would never increase their warranty to prove that they believed in their product. The answer? It would cost them too much in warranty repairs!
My point exactly.
 
The working men at Ford GM always get a bad rap, but the people who have really sold the companies down the creek are the highly paid executives who come and go and pocket millions along the way, while market share keeps dropping. Nice work if you can get it!

Replacing mirror - discount parts site? by rj123456

My right hand side mirror on my 2006 Lincoln Zephyr collided with an immobile object albeit at a very low speed. I am posting here because I suspect the Milan/Fusion employ a similar mirror design.
 
The plastic mirror assembly has sheared off - the motor, glass and chrome pieces are intact.
 
I wonder if I can replace as a DIY project - how easy it it to remove the door panel? I only see 2 screws, does it slide out after these are removed?
 
Also, is there an internet parts supplier for Ford/Mercury/Lincoln parts like www.gmpartsdirect.com (I've been buying parts from the latter at 50-60% of the dealer prices).
