Nick P Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Welcome. Are you planning on buying a FFH? I see your current car is a BMW. I'm a former Mercedes driver myself but switched over to the FFH. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrySql Report post Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Welcome on board!We have a good group and have covered a lot of ground since the '13 FFH's were launched.The Owner's Manual is a good resource but when things just don't make sense or explanations are needed you're likely to find some help here.We use a lot of abbreviated terms so don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand something, there are no stupid questions on this Forum.

Familywagon Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Hi, my name is Robin and I just bought our 2013 fusion hybrid white platinum with 8 miles on it from the dealer. I love the looks of this vehicle so much. I can't wait to see how many leaves I can grow....ha ha. 2 ace8726872 and hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acdii Report post Posted March 25, 2013 WOOHOO more Newbs! :) If you are going back through threads, disregard some of my rants please, Ford was none to kind to me and I blew off steam here, so dont take what I said too much if considering buying a new FFH. The recent built ones are doing great. Welcome and yes there are no stupid questions, maybe some dumb answers(gee wonder who do those) and an occasional :baby: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The recent built ones are doing great. Welcome and yes there are no stupid questions, maybe some dumb answers(gee wonder who do those) and an occasional :baby: Is there a forum that shows all of the recent builds are getting good mpg or is this what the perception is? We need a forum with the build dates and the mpg of the cars from those build dates. There is probably already one and I'm too lazy to look for it. :boring: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acdii Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Not sure about that, the trick would be to compile a list of owners who are not seeing anything like the rest are, finding out what their daily drive consists of, where they live and what the average temps are during their drives, and getting the build date. From what I have seen so far, the majority of complaints are those who drive short trips in cold weather. I haven't seen or heard of anyone that has had issues like mine did with the plug fouling, but there were a few who did take long road trips using the Ecocruise and kept it under 65 and barely touched 38 MPG, those who did all seemed to have cars built the last week of October.

hermans Report post Posted March 26, 2013 Since you are in the U.K. I guess it will be a Mondo for you. To bad there isn't an option for the hybrid. We would like to hear back about your buying experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ace8726872 Report post Posted March 27, 2013 Welcome Carlyn and Robin. The car is good and the people in this forum are equally good too. Hope you enjoy both! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
