Midsize Sedans 2.0

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 07, 2009 5:22 pm)

i back out of the garage, walk over to the explorer which is always parked outside, punch in the entry code, use that remote to close my garage door, lock it back up and drive away in my car.
 
Hmm, I guess I'd just put the remote that works in the car that actually goes in the garage, rather than leaving it in the one that sits in the driveway.
 
If I ever needed to steal a car, I guess I'd start by smashing the windows of the ones with that keypad...figuring one of you guys probably left the keys in the locked car.

Actually, the current 6 is based on the Fusion, which is based on the previous 6.

the explorer gets driven every day. it just usually goes out after i do and returns before me.
 
yes you could smash the window, but then the alarm is going off and you still have to find the keys. try it and let us know how it works out.

Then have fun driving down the road in single digit temps with no driver's side window!
 
I too use that keypad on our Explorer all the time. It's often easier to use it when your hands are tied than to dig in your pocket for the fob.

Read in USA Today today that Ford and Toyota are having a little tiff over who has the highest mpg in a mid-sized car. Toyota wants to make it clear that they have the mid-sized car with the highest fuel economy: Prius. Ford's take: c'mon, everyone knows the target of the Fusion hybrid is the Camry hybrid, as Fusion and Camry are both mid-sized sedans.
 
All right now, children, if you don't stop squabbling you will be sent to bed without your supper!

Man, I would move if I got tied up that often.
