acdii Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Aggressive turns. I dont slow to a crawl when turning, wastes gas, gets my wife to curse, and puts a smile on my face when she does. However, these tires are wearing out a lot faster than the other ones I had on my 2010, even the rears are worn more than they should be, and they are evenly worn inside to out, so alignment isnt an issue. If it were the wear patterns would be quite evident, more on the inside, or outside, cupping, or feathering would all indicate an alignment issue. I just think I got a crappy set of tires. Like i had said before, the same brand and model tire was on the BD and they had excellent snow traction, and the ones on my HyTi had crappy traction.

Estates BP Report post Posted June 18, 2014 My Fusion is 54 weeks old and I am here are my thoughts:ProsLove the way it handles, drives down the road, and the style Very Quiet - even at expressway speeds Sync has worked well - very few problems Information gauges are very customizable - easy to display exactly what I want. MPG after 22,250 is overall 39.5, although the gauges indicate 41.3 Mileage includes two trips through Texas in the summer at 80 MPH and the air on full blast Mileage since October has been 42.6Cons / ProblemsRight year window stopped working - was repaired at the dealer in about 30 minutes Some plastic trim broke off the visor, took about 2 weeks to get it, but replaced easily under warranty Stock Goodyear Eagle LS-2 18 inch tires ride well, but don't look like they will make it past 35,000 miles NO spare was an issue, but thanks to this forum, I was able to "make" one The gauge that shows MPG is about 2 MPG too high - It would be nice to be able to calibrate it. Hard to get more than 11 gallons of fuel in, even after it shows 0 miles to Empty Wish updates to the navigation system were more frequent.Overall, I am very happy with my Fusion. Fuel saving over my old Mercury Marquis will not pay for this $32,000 car, but it will be close, assuming the batteries will go about 8 or 9 years. I would and have reccomended this car to my friends. Buying this was one of my better choices in life! 5 hybridbear, corncobs, B25Nut and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lolder Report post Posted June 18, 2014 The batteries are unlikely to go bad in 8 or 9 years. Saving $1000 year for the average 14 year lifetime of a car is a big deal. Check your odometer accuracy with a GPS. Most are 2 % low which with the 4 % high mpg calculation yields 2 % high or only 1 mpg. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
