I've been checking out several '09 Fusion SE/SEL models with the Sport Appearance Package (SAP). I really like the look with the 18" wheels, spoiler and various trim details. The 2.3L/5AT didn't suit my driving style, but the 3.0L/6AT suits me much better. But there aren't many '09 SE V6 models with SAP still available... This weekend, I drove a 2010 SE with the new 2.5L/6AT and was surprised at the difference compared to the 2.3L in the '09 model. The additional 15 horsepower (and 16 lb-ft of torque) and additional gear in the automatic transmission feel more powerful than they look on paper. Motor Trend recently tested the 2010 SEL I-4/6AT and clocked 0-60 at 8.9 seconds (very respectable figure and at least 0.5 seconds faster than the 2.3L). Ford even offers the same 18" wheels from the '09 Sport Appearance Package as an option on the 2010 SEL. Just my luck, they're not offered on the SE, which is the trim level I prefer.... but a 2010 SEL with the Moon & Tune Package and 18" wheels is looking like a real possiblity! The MSRP is $25,890 and Edmunds TMV is showing $24,767. I'm holding out for bigger discounts, though.... |

For any interested in real fuel economy, I finally got a good 450 miles of interstate just run on my 2010 SE and it was from Atlanta to West Virginia, so there were mountains involved. Average mpg was 34.0 for the whole trip, with an avg speed of about 71 mph. That's 5 mpg over what it says on the sticker...makes me wonder what the S gets with its 34 mpg rating. In downtown Atlanta, fuel economy is not 22 though, its more like 17-18, but that is extreme city traffic I guess.

| Maybe I didn't navigate the website correctly, but when going through the "build your own...." it doesn't offer chrome rims as an option. Only painted rims??? Did I just not scroll down or select the correct option? Doesn't make sense to me. | |

Helped my mom today with her purchase of a White Suede/Camel Leather '09 SEL V6. Installed options included: MOON & TUNE PKG REAR PARK ASSIST REAR SPOILER HEATED SEATS SEL SERIES ORDER CODE The sticker was $27,055. We were able to get it for $21,200. Not a blowout deal, but not bad either. I think it was close to the edge of what I could've gotten in my market (Boston). Three dealers had the same exact car, and I enjoyed pitting them against eachother. I exepected to get the car at $21k or just below, but no one was interested in playing past this point. She's happy with the car...she had wanted Moss Green, but it's real hard to come by now well equipped in the Northeast. Note - I learned today that some Fusions can have the same equipment, but have different stickers. Like one of the 3 we found was priced at $26,640, even though it was an '09 and had the same exact equipment. The deal was that it was ordered in the last quarter of 2008 (December), and Ford raises its prices quarterly. In the end, that dealer would only go as low as the others, so we wound up buying one of the "newer" Fusions. The "older" lower MSRP car helped set the bar low from the begining though, so it was still helpful to have in the mix!

Just bought a 2010 Fusion SE Sangria Red Sun & Sync package (moon roof, Sync System) V6 Duratec Engine Rear spoiler Reverse sensing system Floor mats Am/FM/MP3 6 CD Player Free Sirus 6-months Sticker Price: $25,765.00 Paid $23,914.91 before tax & fees $24,755.36 total I Didn't intend to get anything but the basic SE V4, but ordering would have been a wait for 4-6 weeks. They only had 2 SEs on the lot, one V4 black and the V6 red, with similar options, with about $1,700 difference between the two. I didn't like the black color, so I said what the heck, and got the V6. So far, I love it.
