What are people's thoughts on leasing the Fusion Hybrid? I am currently leasing a 07 BMW 335i and have a very good deal ($45k sales price, $557/month, 15k year), but from my initial research, I doubt I would be able to get as good a deal on the Ford. If I could get a good lease deal, then that would make my decision easier. Part of the problem is that I'm sure the electric and hybrid market will significantly change in the next 2-3 years. Although the Fusion Hybrid looks great now, I may be tempted by something newer and more technologically advanced in 3 years. I've leased my last 2 cars because I always seem to want to get the newest thing out there... yes, at the expense of my wallet, but that's the price I'm willing to pay. So does anyone know of any good lease deals in the DC metro area? Is it worth leasing a hybrid when you won't have time to get the payback with the fuel savings? There is a 'fun factor' involved in the hybrid, so that's a component of the equation, but I wanted to hear what people think.

Replying to: dmathews3 (Jul 21, 2009 1:48 pm) I guess considering all the hype of how well a Camry is, with the high rankings, and so many of them sold, I expected more than what is actually is. It is a good car, don't get me wrong, but after just sitting in the Fusion, and how well its laid out, how well everything fit together, and most important, how comfortable it was to sit in, my Camry just seems like less of a car. I noticed today, after 29400 miles the dash has a vibration, and I am hearing one from the head liner as well. I don't know what it is yet, but its was surely annoying to hear, so I cranked up the radio. Curious to see how well the Fusion fares after the first model year has been out 12 months.

About a month ago, I was complaining about how much our FFH mpg decreased when the temperatures were over 95F, really 100F+, for more than a week. In the last 10 days the daily highs have dropped to 85-93F and our mpg has gone back to where it was. Also, I found out my wife was placing the climate control on 60F at that time. I figured this out when she was bragging on how efficient the A/C is, even on 100F+ days. Recently she leaves it on 70-73F and she is reporting 43-45 mpg on city trips. |
