Just brought home a nicely equipped 2011 Fusion SEL. 2.5L I4 with 6 speed auto. Nice car to drive, but the I4 is a far cry from the 5.0. I can feel the vibrations of the tiny pistons at idle, like a sewing machine, but the interior is comfortable enough. It's wifey's car, so as long as it looks OK in the driveway next to the F-150, I'm happy.

Did it have a nice price drop since the new body style is out? I tried to get the wife to look at a still new one like yours when the new style first came out but she wanted more of an SUV. It was around 19k with decent options like sunroof.

It was a toss up between a brand new 2014 Fiesta and this 2011 Fusion. The Fusion has 50K km, and the balance of the power train warranty. I talked them down to 14K even, from 14,995 and had them toss in the remote start for free. In the end it came down to style and paying what the vehicle is worth without going through the pain of drive away depreciation.
Hard to make out in the picture, but the paint is platinum white tricoat metallic. One heck of a lot nicer then the oxford white on my 150. It's definitely a sharp looking car up close.
BTW, this car comes standard with venting front windows. You hold the unlock button and the front windows roll down to vent the heat. Why oh Why Ford, can you not put this feature on my 35K truck??

Hi Jjayf.

Your new Fusion looks great, especially next to that shiny F-150. Congrats!

I'm here if you need anything in the future!

I love those fusions, probably my favorite ones, not much of a fan of the new ones, we had a Mercury Milan for a little while with that engine, it puts out some great MPG's
