I hated it but I had to trade in my F150 for something that would get better than 16mpg. I got a 2011 Fusion with all the goodies and is delivering 24mpg in town with a V6 that will break the tires loose and will haul some booty. I could only get 2 pictures to upload. Hopefully I can post more tomorrow.

Thanks dad07. It took a while to get used to sitting on the ground compared to my truck but this car handles great and you can't beat navi and a 12 speaker Sony sound system.

Man I bet......I've got a truck that is my DD but when its time to exercise the mule man I have to roll in and out of that one!

The F150 was brutally fast at only half throttle but I slammed my foot in the Fusion a couple of weeks ago at 5mph and it broke the tires loose and I was at 80mph in less than 1/2 mile, it really surprised me with only a 3.0L V6 and 208cid but at 250 hp and a six speed trans Ford got it right.:dblthumb2:

My mom had a '10. Thing would scoot for a 6 banger! Very nice ride too, and kind of fun to drive. Handled well for a sedan. Enjoy it Scott, nice ride.

Looking good!

I'll be doing the same soon. Gotta trade my 13mpg (if I'm lucky) Explorer in for something more efficient. Don't want to give up the ride height!

Shrtbull I got the sel it had more toys on it than the sport model the delaership had but I sure would heve liked to have the 3.5l V6. Plus the sport models are sweet looking.
Southernstang that sounds like a party. I hope AG has some Fuzion in a space shuttle size.:buffing:

Scott,

Good luck with the new ride! :props:

Ford's candy apple red is an absolutely gorgeous color, one of my favorites and a color that shines up beautifully! :dblthumb2:

You're right about that Bobby. What amazes me is that my F150 was the same color but this car has alot more metallic in it. Of course I'm not complaining about that.

Nice car Scott! I hear you on the bad gas mileage! My truck gets about 13mpg around town and 18mpg on the highway! And with a 26 gallon tank it's costing me a lot to fill it.
