I hope you love yours as much as we love ours.

I installed mine yesterday on my hybrid titanium. We took a trip today to charlotte, about 2 hrs away. We averaged around 40 the whole time. We have 700 miles on the car now, so I cant tell you for sure if theres a difference. Seems about the same as before, but they fit nicely, and are easy to install. Ebay has a ford dealership on there selling them for 89.00 a set shipped. that's where I got mine.

Took delivery of our Titanium Hybrid today, and the wife got 45.8 on the 28 mile ride home from the dealership. Im happy. Must have a good one.

The Titanium seats are a sport type seat. The sides come up slightly , to hold you in place. The other seats are flat across, and they have a different stitch pattern in the titanium seats. I sat in both at the dealership, and I liked the titanium seats much better. That's my 2 cents worth.

repainting would never be as good as factory.

The picture doesn't do it any justice. Its a big obvious spot, and I know someone had to have seen that before it made it to the lot. I would be pissed if that was my car, and don't know what I would do, possibly telling them to make me another, or find a new one already made.

Hi, So we decided to stop by the lot today where we ordered our fusion. I just wanted to check out colors, and see if they had an Ice Storm. They did, but it was a cmax. Checked it out, color has a lot of change to it, sun versus shade. Was looking aroung the cmax, and at the corner by the hatch, where the window meets the hatch on lower right corner, was what appeared to be a big ol weld booger, that had been painted right over. I was really disappointed to see this, thinking the quality at the Hermosillo plant left a lot to be desired, till I walked to the other side, and in the rear window was a sticker saying built with pride in Michigan. I work with Spanish guys, and these guys work harder than anyone Ive seen, and take pride in their work. Im glad my car is being built there, especially after seeing this. Although this isn't mine, or your car, what would you do if this was the car you ordered. Obviously any fix to this is going to mess the paint up. Just very frustrating to see coming straight from the factory, and going through what I would think as a lot of quality control.

Trina and Eric at Ford on facebook may be able to help you. https://www.facebook.com/FordCustomerService https://www.facebook.com/FordCustomerService2?ref=ts&fref=ts Its worth a shot. Send them a private message. They seem to be able to help people with things.

The surprise on here to me is the ice storm. We ordered it and liked it, but if this is any indication, they are gonna be everywhere.

I would think that your dealers service dept could line them up. I have seen a picture on this forum I believe of an energy fusion on a lot with a misaligned trunk that looked bad when the taillights didn't match up. Most dealers have a body shop also to do accident work. I would think that's a minor thing to them. Maybe not minor to me and you.

I am trying to make a list of things I need to look for when receiving my car. I know the shifter on the titanium. Also check the trunk for alignment. I think I read somewhere that sometimes the fender isn't lined up correct also. Any other things that need to be looked at would be great. Thanks, Steve

Is that spare gonna work for people with the 18 inch rims?

Got mine today also, with a build day of April 1. One step closer

I told them that I have never owned a ford, and was considering a fusion, after all the good things I had heard about them. I got one

Thanks for doing this legwork. I also am looking foreward to your findings. Keep us in touch

I just got my vin yesterday Toz. Maybe yours is there, or about to be there. I ordered Feb 27th.

Does anyone make a screen saver for the screen on the fusions. I want to do what I can to prevent stuff from happening. Whats everyone using? Thanks, Steve

Jeff, I received a vin on mine today. 3FA6P0RU0DR288898 feel free to add it to your spreadsheet. Thanks, Steve

I asked my wife the other nite if she was gonna name her car, and she immediately said Stormy, for our Ice Storm HyTi.

I wonder if I should be able to get 100 off my negotiated price because of this.

I was wondering if anyone is undercoating their fusions. I live in the mountains of NC, and they use a bunch of salt. Wondering if undercoating it when I first get it would save me down the road with rust issues. I want to do what I can to preserve this baby, and was thinking that may help. Thanks, Steve

One thing I found out getting quotes, is make sure they are "out the door quotes", after they have tacked everything else on. The dealer I ended up buying from didn't have a Doc. fee, which everyone else had at 599.

Glad I didn't want a moonroof , especially if that is the case.

I am also going to tint mine when it comes in. I am going to get the 35% all the way around. I don't feel like getting harassed. Hopefully it will be dark enough to help with UV but still have good visibility.
