One other trick is to turn to the own position then wait for at least one ding from the seatbelt minder to allow the fuel pump to spool up. As for the 2009. Will it be the 3.5L Or will we just get the new heads for the 3.0 with 230 hp like in the 09 Escape? Its hard to understand why Ford is not dropping the 3.0 altogether as they have more than enough capacity for the 3.5 which is probably similar cost and has better fuel econ. Mark

that it actually is a capacity issue with the 3.5 right now. The 3.5 is going more into the higher level Ford vehicles. Also read the new 3.0 will have about 240HP, the new 2.5 4cyl will have about 180HP and an "optional" 3.5 will have about 270 HP. All this is supposed to take place in 2009-10 model redo. Myself, I do enjoy my 06 Fusion SEL V6. However, my life is changing, kids are growing up. I will be trading my Fusion for a Verve!..

Has anyone found an aftermarket source for a moonroof visor? I get so much pressure buffeting when mine is open that I have to close it 50%. I'm hoping a visor or airdam will help. Any suggestions?

I just spent about 100 miles in a Milan Premier on a business trip. I walked away impressed. Very comfortable, plenty of power and good MPG. According to the computer I got 23 MPG in some spirited hwy driving. Car seemed to be put together very well and was holding up jusr fine to 9700 rental car miles. The only negative I noticed in my 100 miles was it seemed a little noisey when accelerating, but thats pretty minor. At speed I thought the noise level was acceptable. Not in the market right now, but the Fusion/Milan would warrant consideration if I was. And for the record we have an 07 Passat Wagon and an 06 Ram as out vehicles right now.

Capacity is not an issue. Ford retooled Cleveland Engine Plant #1 last year then never started prodcution. They were suppose to start it up this quarter but have delayed that until forth quarter 08. Mark |

Replying to: au1994 (Mar 13, 2008 6:12 am)  Question was your car a V6 or a 4 banger ? The 4 banger is know to be allot more noisier for the simple fact that it doesn't have as much horsepower as the V6 causing it to work harder. If it was the V6 the engine is really a 10 year old reworked V6. So, it's not as refined sounding as other more modern V6 engines made by other companies. Also, Ford put it in the Fusion/Milan because it's tried and true. All the quality problems are long gone. That's why the Fusion/ Milan rank so high in quality because of the old engines.
