Ford Fusion

[73Dustr]

Just wondering if any of you guys/gals have experience with the Ford Fusions. Like them, hate them? I'll be getting a new car this summer and I'm looking at either a newer Taurus or a Fusion (Keep in mind I'm on the college budget). Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

02v6stangpwr has one, but she lets 01v6stangpwr and his murse drive it.

I really like the car and it's good on gas, but the Taurus would probably be the less expensive of the two if you are on a college budget.

It's true

Hardy har har... You're funny....

The Taurus will be the less expensive of the two obviously, since you can only get them used and from rentals now a days. The Fusion leases out well, so that might get to your budget if you're a payment buyer. The Fusion is an AWESOME car... Lots of fun to drive, a bit of pep, and under it's skin it's a Mazda. They're great looking cars and if you get a higher option package are equipped very well for the money. I honestly wouldn't think twice Taurus vs Fusion. I feel the Fusion is an all around better car.

Yea, I know the Fusion is going to cost more, but I definitely like the body style on that more than the Taurus. Do you drive the 4 or the 6 cylinder?

[02v6stangpwr]

4 cylinder...better gas mileage and less expensive

[Slow Joe]

Yeah, in my opinion the V6 is only worth it if you're getting one with AWD, and then you're looking at a big ticket item anyways. If you want fun... I4 Manual... If you want a comfy reliable ride I4 Automatic, that's what we have. It's actually a Tungsten Grey SEL I4 Automatic...

Here's a picture from when we got it...



Now don't that look a hell of alot more sexy than a Taurus?

[02v6stangpwr]

Um...you just called it sexy...

[73Dustr]

I should have specified that I plan on buying used. But yea, I agree that if I could swing it, I'd definitely get the Fusion over the Taurus. I have a Sable now, and it's not a bad car, but the Fusions just look so much better and have some nice options. Yeah, you're right, the 4 cyl is cheaper and gets about 3mpg better than the 6. Thanks for the input. I just wanted to get a feel from somebody who owns one.

[Slow Joe]

For used ones they're finally starting to come down in price... When you're in the market send me a PM... I don't work at a dealership but I have alot of connections...

[73Dustr]

I don't know if the Fusion is sexier than the Taurus. The Fusion doesn't have the rounded nose resembling a catfish. No, the Fusion looks a billion times better. Thanks again for the input.

If you don't own a murse, then you can't call it sexy. If you prefer sexy, ask Joe if he'll borrow you his murse

Don't make me come over there and smack you...

[02v6stangpwr]

[nismodave]

You kids better behave or Im coming over and giving you both a time out.

[Slow Joe]

That's it, you are in the dog house...again.

[02v6stangpwr]

[Poncho]
