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?

| In just today, I saw 3 new 2010 Fusions!! This is a shock in this economy. Nice to see a different sedan on the road rather than the sea of Camry/Accords... | |
Just saw a Fusion Sport today. The pics in magazines and the internet does not do this car justice. Much better in person, especially the silver! Our local Ford dealer only had one and it was sold. They let us climb in and about it but could not drive it. I seriously doubt the navi is worth the extra $$$$ over the moon/tune package. Plus those back up sensors looks like a pain to wax around. I could say the navi sounded the same if not worse than the regular Sony. Only complaint was the cheezy hood prop. I could also do w/o the keypad on the door, can this option be avoided? Now come on Ford, 0-60 is 7sec on a 3.5 V6? I'm sure a magazine will prove that a tad too long. The Taruas has the same plant and is about 100lbs lighter and Malibu is heavier and quiker with less hp.

Replying to: fjowner (Jun 04, 2009 6:19 pm) The 263 horse FWD Taurus will run 60 in the high sixes (my folks have an 08 and it'll really scoot), so I'd expect a 3.5L Fusion to be right there with an Accord or Malibu in the middle sixes at worst, witht he 3.0L in the upper sixes..

Replying to: thegraduate (Jun 04, 2009 7:04 pm) Have not even thought about Ford for a long time. Last Ford car was a 88' Escort and it let me down on many occasions. I don't want to be had again with another Ford but Consumer Reports says the Fusion is above average reliability but that was with the 4cyl and 3.0 V6. The Sport has the 3.5 and i wonder how well that engine is.

Replying to: fjowner (Jun 04, 2009 7:44 pm) I think it is rather silly to base your opinion of Ford on an Escort that they built over 20 years ago.

Replying to: fjowner (Jun 04, 2009 6:19 pm) Does anyone really like that particular feature? Ford seems to be the only manufacturer that offers it. It seems aimed at the 65 and older crowd, but I may be wrong. I would like to hear from people who have an opinion on the door keypad. It seems sort of old fashioned. |
