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. |

Replying to: mitchflorida (Jun 05, 2009 5:12 am) Are you kidding? Once you've had it and used it you'll never want to be without it. I don't have it on my 06 Fusion and I really miss it. You never have to worry about locking your keys in the car and you don't have to call someone to unlock it for you. You can leave your keys in the car (hidden, usually) if you're going swimming or running or at some event where you don't want to carry your keys around. The kids can go get stuff out of the vehicle without the key. You can leave the keys in the vehicle for other people to pick up later. You can even leave the vehicle running but locked although I don't recommend it. Like I said - if you've never used it you have no idea but once you do you'll never want to be without it.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Jun 05, 2009 4:48 am) It's not a "serious problem", it's a choice. One man's choice may not be the same as yours, but it's not a "problem" by any stretch. C&D just ran the Mazda 6S GT with the V6 at 6.1 seconds 0-60, so Ford (as usual) is being very conservative. I'd say it'll do mid-6s consistently. As far as the keypad goes, there are a LOT of benefits to it, as akirby stated. I'm surprised it's not more commonplace in the industry as a whole.

Does anyone know what the price is for the 2010 Fusion 18" polished aluminum wheels? They are displayed in the new Fusion brochure as accessory wheels, but I could not find them listed on fordaccessories.com. They look identical to the 18" wheels that are on the 2010 MKZ with the Sport Appearance Package.

Replying to: mitchflorida (Jun 05, 2009 8:53 am) Different strokes I guess. The "classic" SE-R was fantastic on the track after a few tweaks, as was the GTI and the Civic SI. The edge went to the SE-R because of the limited slip differential, but all were a lot of fun. I guess RWD can be fun if you want to go straight or sideways. |

Replying to: mitchflorida (Jun 05, 2009 8:53 am) How nice for you that you never have to make any choices between competing desires or needs. Many of us, perhaps most of us on the Edmunds boards, "care about performance," but that does not mean that we can always place it above other needs or priorities. Midsize sedans are masters of compromise. Relatively few people genuinely fall in love with them. But plenty of us need what they can offer, and would still like some semblance of sportiness in the driving experience. Within that group, the Fusion and Milan offer more of this than, say, a Camry with a rear spoiler. They have sharp steering response and a firmer suspension than most of their competition. Perhaps you'd be happier in a sports car forum, Mitch.
