Replying to: jeffyscott (Mar 11, 2007 6:20 pm) Hi All, Sorry, but I'm confused about the spoiler. I am thinking of getting one since it was mentioned here that it will improve visibility as it removes the brake light in the rear window.   Other than that, would the spoiler on a FWD Milan serve any purpose? I was reading about spoilers and it was mentioned that they might improve fuel economy.   Is it a good idea to get one?

I am thinking of getting one since it was mentioned here that it will improve visibility as it removes the brake light in the rear window.   If you are ordering a new Milan a spoiler might (should?) improve rear visibility since the rear window brake light would not be installed. The brake light would be in the spoiler.   If you already own the Milan an add-on spoiler might not help since dealers do not ordinarily remove the rear window brake light, they just add the spoiler.   As you have already deduced, the spoiler is a cosmetic item, they provide nothing but looks. Some folks like them, some don't. I wish our car had come from the factory with one, to help with the rear visibility, but it is something that I am not going to add after the fact (about $500 cost).

Replying to: urnews (Jun 15, 2007 6:52 am) I don't like spoilers myself, but I did notice when I had a Contour that had one that this does help with being aware of where the rear end of your car is when backing up. With the high rear deck of the Milan/Fusion, I can understand how this might be helpful.   I have the similar Mazda6, with no spoiler and have no problems with backing up, but this has a much lower rear deck that the Fusion/Milan.

Bought a 2007 Milan yesterday. Basic model black with 4 cyl and manual transmission. I was going for cost.   The price was just too good to pass up Replies to this message: theump (Sep 02, 2007 6:54 am)

It's been 3 days since we received our Fusion SE I4/5 speed with the Sport Appearance package.   Black with tinted windows.   We also have a leased Freestyle which we're returning in March 08 and to be frank, I really don't think we're going to be putting too many more miles on it until then.   The Fusion is fun to drive; European feel, stylish, no-nonsense interior, tons of space, economical.   We do a lot of city driving and love driving manual. The smaller engine is perfect. On the highway, it's effortless.   We're a young family and we want to stay away from "family"-type cars. The Fusion fits in perfectly with our lifestyle. The kids love it. My 3-year loves it because it's the same cars as those used in Nascar.
