#5373 of 5507 Re: 2010 Sport [carqna] by cannon3 Jun 21, 2009 (6:31 pm)
Replying to: carqna (Jun 21, 2009 6:09 pm) The 3.0 Duratec has been around for a very long time, solid engine. The 2.5 is just the 2.3 that has been bored out some and the exhaust/intake changed if I remember reading. The only really "new" engine is the 3.5. My guess there is no real data yet since this engine has only been around for about a year in other vehicles. Get on the net and find out if any TSB's or issues have popped up. The internet is a great place to find real information from real consumers.

Replying to: carqna (Jun 21, 2009 6:09 pm) The 3.5L V6 in the Fusion Sport is also used in the Flex, the Edge, and the 2008-09 Taurus, as well as the Lincoln MKZ and MKX. It's based on the Duratec 30, which is the 3.0L V6 used as an option in other Fusions. While the 3.5 version has been available for only two years, the Duratec 30 was first offered as an optional upgrade on the Taurus way back in 1996. So it's a pretty good bet.

Replying to: carqna (Jun 21, 2009 6:09 pm) Just a bit of (probably useless to you) anecdotal evidence, but my parents who have an '08 Taurus talk about the engine in the Taurus all the time (only Sync is talked about more); the smooth torque and the seamless transmission. Given, they have less than 15,000 miles on the car, which they bought last June, but haven't had any recalls or TSB performed on the car... something that couldn't be said of the other car in their garage, a 2007 Honda which has been afflicted with suspension problems that have them on the third set of tires in two years.   I drive an Accord myself, and love it, but if something happened to it, a Fusion would be high on my list based on Ford's recent showings of reliability and engineering advancements, very possibly the 3.5.
#5376 of 5507 rear brake light by alman08 Jul 03, 2009 (8:56 am)
yesterday I saw a new black Fusion on the road, and I noticed that chrome piece and the center brake light was ridiculously huge and unnecessary on the trunk lid. And that brake light seemed like an after thought. Just my opinion.
#5377 of 5507 2010 Navigation Unit by dmathews3 Jul 05, 2009 (1:05 pm)
Could one of you answer this question on the Nav unit in the 2010 Fusion. When looking for a place to eat can I click on the POI's and chose restuarants or whatever they call it and then chose type of food or ALL and will it then start giving out a list of places to eat from the nearest to you to farther away or do I also need to know the name of the eating place? Also can you use the Nav unit as in making changes etc. while the vehicle is moving or is it like GM and require you to stop first?

Replying to: dmathews3 (Jul 05, 2009 1:05 pm) You must stop to enter a destination but you can do everything else while moving. You can call up previously saved addresses from the address book.   As for restaurants - you can actually just say "I'm hungry" and get a list of restaurants. I believe you can also limit it by the type of restaruant with voice commands as well. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jul 06, 2009 5:45 am)

#5380 of 5507 2010 fusion "S" satellite radio add on by petras2 Jul 08, 2009 (7:25 am)
I considering a fusion "s" purchase, (like the wheels more than the ones on the se). I don't know if the base radio that comes with it is "satellite ready"..has anyone had a dealer install a satellite receiver to their base "s" model?
#5381 of 5507 Test drive by cannon3 Jul 12, 2009 (2:33 pm)
I was at the dealership having my transmission fluid changed and decided to walk the lot. Came across a 2010 Fusion Hybrid in black. As I was going over the car a sales person came over of course. I told him right away I was having my 06 Fusion serviced and was just curious. He offered a test drive of the Hybrid. I jumped at the chance. Wow, This car was very quiet, very solid, very well engineered. I could not feel when the engine or the electric engine was on, the only way was the dash readout. The interior fit/finish was superb. If I were in the market, this car would easily be at the top of my list for a replacement of my 06 Fusion. This car is going to be in very high demand.
#5382 of 5507 Fusion vs Milan by kev22 Jul 15, 2009 (11:11 pm)
Hi =)   I am planning to buy either a Fusion I-4 SEL fully loaded or a Milan I-4 Premier fully load (both without navigation). Fusion comes out to approx. $26,500 and Milan to approx $27,000. Therefore I am asking, regardless of price, which car is better?   I have done research and the engines, specs, features, and dimensions are the exact same to precise detail (length, width, etc.), but besides for the looks I cannot find any differences between these cars (virtually). I checked out the fusion at several dealerships and its a very well designed car but I am just curious to whether the Milan is any better being that Mercury is supposed to be a more luxury associated brand. In addition, does anyone who has test drove both cars in I-4 version notice any difference between ride quality of either cars (same engine), just curious...though I'll probably find out myself in a couple of days.   If someone could help me out with a comment it would be greatly appreciated.   Also just curious of which car (with same features and all) everyone else thinks is better. The 2010 Fusion or 2010 Milan?
