Replying to: stephen987 (Oct 20, 2009 3:39 pm) that's about it, other than moving up in price. i started out looking at small suv's, but we have a few of those already. another feature that was important to me was that i fit in the back seat. role reversal with the kids.
#13139 of 13335 Attention 2010 Fusion owners! by kirstie_h HOST Oct 22, 2009 (12:27 pm)
Here's your chance 2010 Fusion owners - www.fusion41.com    Eight 2010 Fusion owners from throughout the country will be selected to participate in the Fusion 41 program. They will be chosen based on their passion for Fusion and their ability to share compelling information about the vehicle on the Internet. Applicants must have a current Facebook profile with a minimum of 100 friends and an active photo collection.   Each of the eight Fusion owners will then choose four friends or family members to join their team, and each team will be given a 2010 Ford Fusion or Fusion Hybrid to drive in an automotive relay race. To complete the relay, each team member must fulfill an assigned task within 41 hours, tracking competitive variables such as miles driven, stops made or the number of passengers picked up.   The winning team will be chosen based on their ability to complete the activities and provide proof by uploading photos and videos to various social media sites, including Facebook.   The Fusion owner of the winning team will have their vehicle paid off, and team members will win free gas for one year.
#13140 of 13335 Fan sensor by lewie1 Oct 23, 2009 (5:36 am)
I have a 1990 Passat 2.0L and the rad fan keeps on running,It won't shut off. What can I do to fix this problem before it becomes another issue. Replies to this message: phaetondriver (Oct 23, 2009 10:10 am)

Replying to: lewie1 (Oct 23, 2009 5:36 am) First thing to do IMHO is replace the thermostatic switch which sends power to the fan when the radiator is hot and shuts it off when the temperature drops. These are not expensive and there are after market versions you can use if you can't find the factory unit. Some just clip into the radiator grills, some go into the water jacket on the intake manifold.   GL

#13143 of 13335 2010 Mid-Size Sedan Comparisons, Opinions, Etc by smarty666 Nov 10, 2009 (6:29 pm)
well I think all of the 2010 models are out now so I was hoping to get everyone's comparisons and opinions on the changes, for the good or bad on the various 2010 mid-sized sedans:   for me, I like some of the changes they made to the 2010 Nissan Altima: they improved the quality of the interior fabrics and certain interior materials for the better and I for one am glad to see that you now can get a rearview camera without having to buy a pricy technology or navigation package which jacks up the price of the car   so what is everyone else's opinion on the altima and other mid-size sedans for 2010?

Replying to: smarty666 (Nov 10, 2009 6:29 pm) The Fusion has the camera in the rear view mirror for the non nav cars that have BLIS. I seldom ever use it, more of a novelty for me. I use the mirrors for backing, and the sensors are very sensitive to something as small as a cat being behind the car. I also notice if you fixate on the backup cam, you could easily hit something on the side, so they aren't all that great. Then again, I can also back an 18 wheeler into a dock on the first try, and most drivers can't do that. Replies to this message: smarty666 (Nov 11, 2009 8:09 am)

Replying to: acdii (Nov 11, 2009 6:07 am) actually I agree with you to a point about the rearview camera, while I do enjoy it and use it quite often, it still is no substitute for looking in the mirrors and physically turning your head to check and make sure no one is there because the camera can't show you everything: the camera is really only handy if your backing into a tight parking spot, such as in a parking garage or outside lot, other than that it is just a helpful aid;    I think the rearview cameras are more helpful on bigger SUVs then sedans, especially ones that have all the rear windows tinted because it is much harder to physically see out the back of a SUV with tinted window because they have more blind spots then a four door sedan with no tinted windows
