Replying to: thegraduate (May 01, 2009 6:19 pm)  You could also say that "all else being equal" the larger wheel would require less effort. But can not really assume all else will be equal. Some companies tend to have more boost in the PS than others. The reality is that no one puts in power steering that requires much effort these days. Although our VW gets pretty heavy at higher speeds,now that I am used to the light steering on my Mazda6 (I had a Contour before the 6 and that had a heavier steering feel to it). |

Yeah! an American company is back in #2 spot! Much of this reason is because of the Fusion sales along with the Focus sales is what the article said. Granted overall sales are still down compared to last year. Fusion/Milan are getting noticed. The article also said some of these sales increases could be from those who don't want to buy from GM/Chrysler because of the bankruptcy issue. Fusion/Milan Hybrid along with getting good 4cyl MPG numbers is putting Ford on the radar again. I remember reading posts in this same forum saying Ford will never survive, never best a Toyota, never do anything right. Lets give credit where credit is due now folks.

If anyone would have an answer to this question, I would appreciate it. I am debating on whether to buy an '09 Fusion SEL 4 cylinder with AdvanceTrac ESC or the '10 Fusion SEL 4 cylinder. I asked a Ford salesman if the '09 Advance Trac system came with Traction Control on the 4 cylinder, and he didn't know. He thought Traction Control was a separate option. I read in the '10 Fusion brochure that Ford has added Brake Activated Traction Control to their AdvanceTrac. Does this mean that Traction Control wasn't included with their AdvanceTrac on '09 4 cylinder models?? Thanks.

Replying to: fusionguy (May 25, 2009 9:18 am) Last June my parents bought a 2008 Taurus SEL. It came standard with Traction Control, but didn't have the ESC option. To the best of my knowledge, you CAN have Traction Control without ESC, but if you have ESC, you automatically have Traction Control. |

I test drove a new 2010 Milan Premier 4 cylinder this evening... great car, great mpg, extremely quiet and solid, handled great, very comfortable. I'm curious about the new taillights on the '10 Milan, as the brochure has a close-up photo of the lights with them turned on. The photo shows the LED lights on the trunk lid section and the quarter panel all turned on. But on the Milan I drove tonight, the lights only light up on the quarter panel section, not on the trunk lid, when the brake lights and taillights are turned on. The salesman was surprised too when I showed him the difference between the car and the photo in the Milan brochure with all of the taillights illuminated. Did Mercury change this taillight design after production started? Anyone out there know why they did this? They need to illuminate the trunk lid lights too as it sure makes a more complete and upscale appearance. |

any opinions on the sony stereo option? I've read mixed reviews...considering that you have to spring for the uplevel sel or sport just to order it and then pay extra for the moon/tune package, is it worth the extra 3-4K?
