Overall, I'd say it's a great car at a great price. I leased mine (that's why I don't want to spend a fortune on upgrades) and my fully loaded fusion with the sport package was still $100 cheaper than a new stripped down malibu. I test drove an 07 fusion with a V6 and no sport package and I really think you can tell the difference. I think the tighter springs really make a noticeable difference in handling and cornering. Plus, the wheels look great and everyone I've shown the car to loves the two tone leather seats. And, I am not certain, but the 07 just sounded louder inside too, like too much engine noise...and the 08 seems much quiter. I would have liked more aggressive fender flares and a bigger spoiler (really don't like the small "rear lip" spoiler). I am excited to install the air intake, but how much is that exhaust?

I have leather seats in my SE and it did not come with heated seats :( I saw a heated sit kit on ebay for under $100...did any install a similar kit? They say I will of course have to take the seats out completely and take the leather off of the seat to intall the heating element underneath...how much of a pain is this. I'm mechanically inclined a bit, but am I biting of more than an average guy can chew? -sr

I just got an 08, with the sport package. I really do NOT like the rear spoiler that came with the car. It's pretty small. How do I take it off to intall a new one? thanks, sr

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site...and Ford too. I just got an '08 Fusion with the V6 and the sport package. I would like to get a bit more power out of the V6...I test drove a few Different GM cars and found that with their V6's, you get a bit more grunt off the line. The Ford 3.0 is rated at about 220 hp's, but it feels a tad sluggish to me. What are some affordable upgrades that I can add that won't be too difficult to install? I was thinking of a cold air-intake. Does anyone have any information on those? Do they actually work? Also, what about exhaust upgrades? Thanks, sr
