Replying to: blueiedgod (Apr 30, 2008 12:52 pm) coasting down hills only burned out the brakes. last september, i took a 2200 mile trip from central ct to southwestern ohio, up to middle michigan and back. putting the cruise on 70 mph, i averaged an uncorrected 37.5 mpgs. the epa highway rating was 33 and the odometer under registered by 2%.

I haven't been to the gas station yet, the honeymoon will be over then right?  Anyway I purchased a slightly used '07 (3500 miles) Fusion SEL AWD in burgundy on Monday. It's got some options, Moon n' Tune, leather, heated seats, sirius, perhaps even others I don't know about. I have been looking to buy a Fusion since their introduction, and I love it so far. I consider this a long term purchase, my previous car purchase was in 1997, cars have gotten nicer and have side airbags now, with power equipment standard. Heck the Marroni sticker on my 1997 listed "wheel covers" as equipment LOL. I feel that I got a lot more car for my money than in 1997, my Fusion was 20643$. The AWD may come in handy for ski trips, at my farm, and other weather annoyances. I do have a question, notably this Fusion comes with low profile tires 225/50 R17, are there reasonable replacements when the time comes? I'll get pics up sooner or later, loving it. An out of date listing of my car, it has pics... SOLD |

Replying to: explorerx4 (May 01, 2008 3:57 pm) I find it weird that it does that, and also annoyed, as I am used to modulating speed my throttle. Which in a Manual equipped vehicle, with direct connection to the wheels, without the viscous coupling of a toque converter, would result in immediate change in speed. Does anybody know the reprogramming procedure for the defogger? I always reprogram Hondas to allow manual A/C off over ride in Defog and Defog/Feet mode, but it seems that Ford just does not illuminate the A/C button when in defog mode. I can clearly see and feel the a/c compressor engaging when in either of the defog modes. What's the re-program sequence? |

I was at the dealership today getting my oil changed in my 06 Fusion SEL V6. (Had a coupon for $19.99) This dealership always sends me coupons.. Anyhoo... Talking with the service rep about the Fusion. He said the 2009/10 Fusion is going to look very different. Have different headlights/grille and rear. Engines also are going to rival Honda/Toyota in the 4cyl arena. The V6 will still be slightly less HP/Torque. I asked what he knew about the Hybrid? and when? He said the Hybrid will debute soon after the 2009/10's come out. I want the Hybrid. I am really enjoying this Fusion. Very tight, reliable and just plain fun to drive. |

Replying to: blueiedgod (May 03, 2008 3:10 pm)  the a/c is used to defog the windshield, so i don't see how/why you would want to override that. |

| is there anyone else out there who owns either a ford fusion,or mercury milan with the 5-speed manual.the possible 'problem' i maybe having is that when i am shifting gears in my 2007 milan,i often feel a popping feel in either the steering,or the front end.i really can't tell,but hope there is someone else out there with the same problem,and maybe someone knows what this is,and how to correct.please let me know as soon as possible,as i need to make sure this is not a serious problem.if it is,will have to mae a warranty trip to the dealership,as the car only has 7300 miles | |

Replying to: explorerx4 (May 03, 2008 7:00 pm) Some people who like dry air keep the a/c on all the time and overcome it with heat if it gets too cold. I have the electronic temp control so I don't know if that would work in my car, btw. Paul

Replying to: explorerx4 (May 03, 2008 7:00 pm) I like the air flow directed at the windshield and feet when I drive, this way it does not dry my eyes. I would rather manually turn on the A/C when it is fogged.
