New owner checking in :)

[Kelly Trusz Urban]

Howdy gang. Thanks for your help in my pre-ownership thread! Made the purchase more certain.

 

Proud new owner of an '11 Silver/Stone FFH, 502A, remote start. I had gotten offers I could not refuse for my old car and on the new one.

I mentioned before my commute to work is about 2 miles and despite concerns of poor mileage, I'm getting 46mpg there and 51 back (more downhill), AC on sometimes.

Overall, I LOVE THIS CAR. Why didnt i buy one sooner? Always liked the Fusion's looks since they came out. Now I can truck around half my commute EV mode while enjoying an awesome stereo and great ride.

I already bought a new ipod just for the car and am working on filling up the jukebox. Sync rocks. Already hardwired in my V1. I could just go on, but hey, preaching to the choir ;)

 

OK, later gang. Nice to be part of the club.

Do you know about the ventilation mode in milder temps? Turn off the AC, crack the rear of the moon roof, open either rear window an inch +/-. Open right rear window gives driver a breeze and vice versa.

Good choice! Matches mine less the remote start. Did get the factory installed block heater. Hope it helps on those cold Colorado morning and maximizes winter EV. Good luck with it!

Congrats on your new pet. It looks great.

I'm also thinking of the remote starter if I go ahead with my purchase.

And it looks like I'll have to order the car to get exactly what I want.

Did you order the factory installed wiring for the remote starter or did they do it at the dealer when the car came in?

Thanks and good luck

I have the identical car in the Pearl White. Leftover 2010 Fully loaded three weeks ago. I wanted to get a different color (yours), but had to the smokin' deal

 

The remote start will be interesting to try in Philly winters. I am getting about 35 to 47 mpg in my mixed commute (even with a full bike rack set-up on the roof). Used to fill up once a week with Ford Edge, now every other. $80 a month goes a long way per month!

 

I find more things that i enjoy on this car every day. Good luck with it!
