Yeah they went over it with me, but I guess they left out the part where it didnt have Nav. Why would I want My ford touch, ford sync and a big display screen with premuim audio, but without nav? I didnt even fathom for a second that it didnt have it. Just seems like it wouldnt make sense any other way. Anyway, just really shocked that it would come that way. Apparently, you can't just buy an SD card and upgrade. The manufacturer has to "activate" it, and dealerships dont have the means of doing that yet. Long story short, they are getting me another car. I am just driving this one in the meantime. Oh well. Do I sound like I'm being too picky? If I'm spending the money, I want to get what I want.

Well crap, now i just noticed that i dont have navigation. The build sheet that i sent the dealer clearly said voice navigation, a $795 option. When i picked the car up, i just assumed that it had it due to the big screen, the "my touch" and the "sync". I called them and they said they are going to "make it right". Monday. Is this an option you can add after the fact? If not, i'm wondering how they are planning on "making it right". I've bought three vehicles from this dealership and they've always taken care of me, i guess we'll see.

Picked it up today finally. I love this car, but the only thing that bothered me was the front license plate bracket. I have no idea why there would even be one on there, much less why anyone would put the screws right through the body of the car. Needless to say, I was a little dissapointed. The dealership said if that if I bring it back next week that they will make it right and sand the holes down and respray it. I don't feel that I am being picky, especially on a brand new car. Check out the pics.

Yeah, i think she has been performing well lately because she knows that I am getting rid of her. lol. Its a short bed, super crew xlt. Thats also driving 65 mph. Only 16k miles on the ecoboost so my milage has just recently started to improve. Like i said, i hate to get rid of her but I am really impressed by the fusion hybrid. Well...that and I like new toys.

I hear ya. Mine is in memphis and i'm in little rock right now, i wish i could just drive to memphis and get it. I'm trading in my 2012 ecoboost f-150 for it. I love he ecoboost but it just doesnt make sense to drive a truck 50 miles to work and back everyday purely for transportation. Getting 22.6 mpg on the truck, which is actually really good for a 4x4 pickup (flat drive to work and back) but it aint nuthin compared to 47 mpg. I drove a 2012 fusion hybrid on the same drive and got low 40's, so i'm really interested to see how this 2013 compares.

Ok, I added myself to the map. Thanks Kuzzi

Added myself.

Thanks Corncobs

So I finally bought one. I love the new body style on these fusions and I told myself that if I ever bought one that it would be a hybrid. So I finally did it, but one thing that I didn't bargain for was the unavailability of them. I guess I didn't realize that Ford just didn't really make that many of them, so I was unable to find one that had all of the options that I wanted. My dealership ended up having to trade for one from another dealership that was out of state. My specifications were not really all that picky either. All I specified is that I wanted a white (oxfrord or metallic) Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid with black leather, premium audio and nav and no driver assist. I didn't really think that was asking for much, but it took a while for them to find one. I actually called another dealership, had them look in the meantime and they still haven't called me back. So here I am, waiting for a car that I already bought. This is worse than when you buy something online and have to wait. Anyway, the wait sucks, but at least I know that I am getting exactly what I want. I've actually never driven a 2013 model. I really like the '12 model that I drove and I hear that the '13 is even better. Supposed to have it by Saturday (May 8th) at the latest and the minutes on the clock just can't pass fast enough. In the meantime, I guess I'll just keep reading about driving techniques and such on this forum.
