That's only if you like how the Five Hundred looks... Or you could get a Taurus X (AKA Freestyle)...

the fushions are great cars, go for it. great gas mileage, nice options, all for a decent price. you can pick up a used one that carries the ford certification warranty (6 years, 75,000 mile powertrain warranty along with 5.9% financing) for a really good price.

the difference in the 4 and the 6 cylinder is so small that it isnt worth paying the extra money for the 6. the 4 cylinder runs strong, while being a little louder, the extra gas mileage is worth the extra noise! another thing to consider would be the redesigned Focus that is coming out soon. Ford did a nice job with the Focus and it will be a real nice car for a even nicer price. if you have any other questions let me know!

My lady has one and she loves it. It looks painstakingly similar to Joe's. She wanted the 5 speed car, so she got that and it's a fun car to drive. The upgraded sound system is great. Gets 33+MPG when cruising on the hiway.

No complaints thus far, other than I lightly bumped something and the rear bumper got all deformed...

P.S. In-pan oil filter FTL. Took it to Valvoline because I had a coupon and they had to run to the parts store to get a filter for it...

My guys out at FocusSport in Anaheim have a division called FSwerks that is dedicated to the Fusion. Their 2.3L turbo setup for the Fusion is definitely a mod to think of for anyone with a Fusion.

Yeah, one tech I talked to complained that the 4s are louder. To me, that's not an issue at all. Driving downtown to school every day, I'd prefer the better gas mileage. As for the Focus, I think it'd be too small. I need a lot of room for hauling hunting gear and hockey gear. That's one thing I like about my Sable: lots of trunk space and the folding rear seat.

The Fusion def. has both of those. And I think the sales dude said the trunk was bigger than the Taurus.

Yeah, I thought I read that too. The folding seats is a nice thing to have. I might go do some "window shopping" tonight. We'll see.

**Slow Joe** · 03-21-2007, 04:43 PM

The trunk is bigger than the Taurus/Sable, plus there are no arms that go into the trunk limiting the space even more. Cabin space feels roomier to me than the Taurus/Sable.

I think Joe and Christie have as many cars as Sam and Tina now.......But all the HP added on them all doesent equal the HP in the Turbo Car.

Sorry, thread jack over.

**MurphysLaw88GT** · 03-21-2007, 05:44 PM

+1..............ha

We collect cars... Why sell 'em when you can provide a nice home for 'em to spend all of their days...

The exterior of the new Focus is a bit too bland for Focus enthusiasts (yes, we exist). The interior is definitely nice, it has a Microsoft developed interface to your ipod and phone (it will even speak out your text messages you receive).

Power is released through only 2 motors, which in reality is only one, the 2.0L Duratec and 2.0L Duratec-E (low emissions). This isn't a real problem since there are more power adders out there for the Duratec than you could probably imagine.

We had one out in Cali last week and it drove fine, but it certainly is not the European Focus we had all hoped for.

**Slow Joe** · 03-21-2007, 07:48 PM

Wait, they're already out??
