Rodeo

Not bad except it's only $39.95 and includes free shipping.. So for someone to take it off your hands must want to do you a big favor.... I bid the $39.95 just so you know...

I am constantly getting about 27.5 combo driving, granted most of that is indeed highway and I can tell you I don't baby my car for mileage. Of course, thats the cars computer giving me that reading and only god knows how accuratre that is. Still, 27.5 is pretty good if you ask me, especially having all the power of the 2010 V6-3.0 as it does. Very happy with the engine performance and mileage. Some of that is due to the 6-speed tranny though, but as a package, it does rather well.

The leather portions are coated anyway so you only need a general interior cleaner for the seats anyway. The leather itself is sealed so whatever you are using on the vinyl surfaces should work just fine on the seats too. It's really more like Pleather then leather.

I got my car back from the dealers shop today as well. They had it for two full days. They claim that they were able to replicate my complaint and also said they tried a new car off their lot with the same results. They then called the factory who told them to have me drive the car because the transmission needs to learn. (whatever that means?) I just hope it learns quick before it kills itself or my wallet after the warranty expires and I own this car. They also claim they made some minor adjustments to the tranny and topped off the fluid which they said was a tad low. We'll see how it goes.. They told me to just drive it until the first service interval which is 7500 miles and then see how it is. I hope it gets better because this thing honestly could snap your head back against the headrest when shifting some times and feels like you got hit from behind while sitting still. It's an impressive machine, I gotta tell ya....

My new Milan (3.0-V6) has been giving me problems when cold (if thats possible in the heat of summer?) and could give you whiplash because it over-revs in second and then really slams into third gear, and this without really pushing on the throttle hard at all. Took it into a Mercury Dealer yesterday who said te software was already up to date so they opted to keep my car for a few days to test it. Personally, I feel these transmissions just plain suck as I have also experienced a few times of no acceleration (or hesitation) too. These trannys could be the down-fall of an otherwise pretty good car.

Had a friend of mine use the USB port and cord to charge his iphone and afterwards my SYNC stopped recognizing my ipod. haven't had time to play with it but there is a definite disconnect now....

Who (today) keeps a car for 8 years?? (Nobody I know of)

No MXM4s here! Just took delivery of my 2010 Milan Premier and found it interesting that the OE Tires are Michellin Energy Saver A/S (Green X) tires. I would have thought these would be reserved for Hybrid models but here they are on my 3.0 V6 (Ride quality is pretty good IMO) Energy™ Saver A/S Passenger Car/Minivan Tire All-Season Tires Up to 8% more fuel-efficient than standard tires to save you money EnergySaver Construction™, combined with a special type of tread rubber, keeps the tire cooler - helping your engine to improve its fuel efficiency. Stops up to 8 feet shorter for added safety Silica-based unique tread rubber compound provides all-season traction and no-compromise stopping performances to keep you safe without trading fuel efficiency. Reduces CO2 emissions as much as planting 40 trees Lower rolling resistance requires less effort from your engine and helps reduce harmful CO2 emissions from your vehicle. -

Try a "Shout" wipe. You won't over saturate the spot using a pre-moistened wipe and Shout works pretty well. Should be perfect for headliners.

Google is great, isn't it! Yesterday I googled how to transfer all my stored waypoints from my old Garmin GPS to my brand new Garmin GPS and that is something you will not find instructions for at Garmin's website. Yea I had to download some software but the instructions I found had me all done in under 15 minutes. Love googling problems...

30 psi OK but 25 and 20 psi especially is going to affect handling without question. That could even be dangerous if you ever need to maneuver in an emergency.

That's nothing!~ I just took a 1000 mile trip in a brand new spanking Milan with the 3.0 V6 in it and averaged 27.6 MPG with the stereo blasting and the a/c running full time. Not too shabby considering I had all the power I needed and I'm not a light-foot by no means. Just wait till that motor actually gets broken in!! :shift: :hysterical:

Just did a 1000 mile business trip and didn't notice any fluctuations. I listened to Sirius most of the time and occasionally to my ipod via the USB connection and sync. Something like the fluctuation you described would drive me nuts, especially in a new car and really especially in a new car I paid good money to upgrade the stereo in, (which is definitely over-hyped as far as overall quality and power too.) I think they're doing away with the Sony system for 2011 according to the 2011 order guide.

Ditto! I wanted the old merlot color and was disappointed it was no longet available for 2010 wheh I ordered mine a few months ago. It figures that a nice new similar color is coming out for 2011. Oh well, I'll be ready for a new car just about when Ford does a total redesign again which I heard is in another 3 years?

Tires don't state "running pressure" they state the "maximum pressure" and are rated for their speed rating, knowing they will heat up and increase in pressure as you drive. The maximum pressure is not the recommended running pressure and that info is typically specified by the car manufacturer and in the case of Ford, put right on the door sill in plain view. The recommended pressure assumes the tires will heat up and increase on their own, so no need to compensate and deflate for heated expansion pressure. it is this fluctuation in pressure that causes more wear then had the tires remained constant and that's one reason why inflating with Nitrogen is so beneficial. Nitrogen filled tires will reduce heat and keep pressure constant, prolonging tire wear and lessening chances of blow outs too. Not to mention an inprovement in fuel mileage as well. Tires should never be adjusted hot or warm even.
