Renting a Fusion. Not as Nice as the FFH!

[Buster1]

I am on a business trip and was happy to have my choice of a few Fusion 4cyls at the lot! Picked the Blue Fusion.

 

After 3 days of driving it I can report it is just "okay." Not bad, but okay. It has reasonable pickup and pep, but just doesn't seem as nice and refined as the FFH. I do really like the car and would recommend it. it's been great around town and such, but it is loud! Not as nice as my FFH sitting at home. I miss her.

 

The dash is of course different, and the options on this car are a little less. It's actually pretty nice for a rental I would say. But I would comment that the FFH is in a class above the regular Fusion when it comes to smoothness and quietness...and of course fuel efficiency! The FFH just seems more graceful and solid.

Yeah Buster1,

Not surprised by your assessment of your current ride.

The Hybrid System does elevate this car to another level.

Throw in the extras, (the 502A pkg.) and you've arrived!

fuel efficiency is the new hotrodding !

The hybrid is nice. Too bad you couldn't rent a V6 SEL. Now that's a car!
