acdii Report post Posted April 24, 2013 As most here know, I had a bad experience with Ford, not so much with the car, but with the company. But one thing though, owning the new FFH has done something for me that I am thankful for, actually two things, first is I met a great group of people on this Forum, so thanks for being here, Second though, it made me a better driver. In all my attempts to eek out any kind of acceptable gas mileage from that blue demon, I learned how to drive my other Hybrid more efficiently, and it also taught me how to be more efficient in the new Flex that replaced the Fusion. Even though I now have 365 HP at my command, and can feel the G's when that throttle is pushed, I dont. I drive it sensibly, only putting the power down to pavement when I absolutely need it. The new Fusion is a remarkable car, and even though I had a nightmare time with mine, I will still gladly recommend it to anyone who asks. The driving experience alone sets it apart from all the rest in its class. If you want better, go to BMW and pay a whole lot more. Ford did a great job with the new Fusion, they did a great job on the older Fusion, and that was probably one of the best things Ford could have done to get to this point. I have not one complaint on my 2010 FFH, nor the one before it which was a 2010 Fusion Sport. Yeah, the 10 FFH doesn't handle as well as the Sport did, but the new one handles as well, if not better than the Sport, and that is the one thing I really miss about no longer having the Fusion. I am hoping that I can find a way soon to get another one, and hoping beyond hope that when I do, it will not be like the first one, but will be great like every one elses. And to those of you here who have been supportive throughout my dilemma, cajoled me when I needed it, slapped me to reality and basically set me straight before I made an ass of myself and made enemies, I thank you. I hope I can pay back the support when needed and hope I can help others get the best out of their cars, both new and old. Yeah, I know, its part of the 7 deadly sins, but I envy and am jealous of all who have the new Fusion and are getting great gas mileage in them. 7 B25Nut, milleron, Fastronaut and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
