akirby Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Found the car I wanted in stock at a local dealer and my salesman was able to trade for it so I pulled the trigger. Started at noon on Thursday and drove it home at 6 pm Friday. X plan. Loaded FWD except for Active Park Assist. So far I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Gorgeous! How's the drive? Bet it plasters and then rips the grin right off yer face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Haven't opened it up yet but it rides and handles great. It has more torque than my 2000 Lincoln LS V8 so I expect it will scoot as well. I think my favorite feature is the auto-dimming headlamps. I didn't know it had them and was pleasantly surprised. They work perfectly, dimming even faster than I would have manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenlxi Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Awesome.... congrats on the new ride! I really like the new Fusions.... and the EcoBoost always rocks my socks.... hope you enjoy it and it treats you well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Love the look of the new Fusion!!! Hows the build quality? Does it feel pretty solid like the newer Edges? I drove a new Escape a few weeks ago and it had a ton of road/engine noise and just didn't feel well built. Been a Ford man my whole life but they can be really hit-or-miss when it comes to their new vehicles. The Fusion should be an awesome seller for Ford if the quality is there.

JOEHIO Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Best wishes with it akirby, really sweet looking. Yeah, auto headlamps are awesome. Have them on my wife's MKS, dissapointed that my MKX doesn't have them. What kind of piece of shit did I buy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Which one is the father? Probably the Aston Martin. The jag can't go anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeDevil79 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hey akirby, how do you like the fusion after you're first year? Test drove one today and liked a lot, just unsure about practicality with 2 children (stroller!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Love it. I had to get the fuel tank replaced but other than that it's been perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
