  1. I'm so excited I that have my X-Plan PIN, and I'll be ordering my new 2014 FFH SE in 3 weeks, so that hopefully the delivery will occur about the time I finish payments on my wife's car. 2014 Fusion SE Hybrid FWD Ingot Silver Options: SE Hybrid Appearance PackageSE MyFordTouch® Hybrid Technology PackageVoice-Activated Navigation SystemReverse Sensing SystemRear Inflatable Seat Belts This FFH forum looks like it has a ton of info that, as an engineer, I can spend many hours absorbing all of it.
  2. Found this forum looking for info on the PCM update. Have found some very useful tips and will try to add some of my own observations to help lookie-loos and newbies. I have been in a FFH since January, am averaging about 42MPG with 99% Interstate driving (about 50% is at 75 MPH). I am a first time Hybrid driver, but have family with Prii (is that really the plural of Prius?) so I am not a stranger to the idea. I am not a tree-hugger, just a guy looking to save a couple Ben's a month on gas to help make the car payment. My initial observations on the Fusion are: 1. Technology - while above average, my belief is car manufacturers should stick to cars and let Apple and Google handle infotainment. Microsoft Sync (MFT) is just OK in my opinion, I have no doubt it is possible to do far better. 2. Comfort - Fusion is a very comfortable ride, but a less nimble on corners than Audi A6 (previous car). It is not a Cadillac, but it is not a Hyundai Accent either. 3. Driving a hybrid is a learned skill. One must seek a balance between obsessing over MPG and irritating other drivers. After living in the fast lane for years, I am learning to settle for the middle lanes and watching life pass by. Trading rage over slow vehicles (often Prius) and cell phone obsessed drivers in the fast lane for the humor of watching gas guzzling idiots is not such a bad tradeoff. I am learning to enjoy the idiocy of our nations highways in whole new ways.
