Finally after 4.5 years of driving my wifes old boring 2003 honda civic we purchased a 2014 Fusion Titanium 2.0L ecoboost! I must say that the car feels great. Very solid and good power. It feels damn near as fast as my GT did back in early 2005 when I bought it!

We just bought it last night so haven't had a lot of time in it and still learning about everything. Coming from a 2003 Civic with absolutely no tech on the inside is quite different. One of my favorite things is the dual climate feature because I'm always hot and my wife is always cold. It has vents for the rear as well which is great for the kids. Not to mention more room so I don't have to move the front passenger seat up to fit our 8 month olds car seat. With the civic if I had the kids the legs of the passenger in front were eating the dash! hah

It is loaded with nav and park assist. 2 options that I didn't necessarily want or need but they made us a deal that we couldn't pass up. They didn't have the specific car with the options I wanted on their lot. This one had everything plus the nav and park assist. Plus my wife just got a new job recently that included her receiving the ford x-plan which was perfect timing!

I really like the wheels already and I can't wait to get some window tint!

Very nice. I would love to have that as a daily driver. Right now, I'd be happy with an early Altima or gtp. Anything better on gas than my F-150.

Nice buy!

I feel you on the hot/cold issue. I crack the window all year long when driving but I get yelled at it if I do that now.

Nice ride. Kind of like our focus titanium we got the park assist and some other stuff we won't ever use but got a great deal. Takes awhile to learn all the tech.

Looks great, my wife had a 09 fusion and the new ones are light years ahead of that car. The wheels kinda look like the mustang brembo wheels. I wish ford would make a SVT version of the fusion.

Very nice! I love the new body style. I bought my wife a '12 Fusion and wish I would've held out for a '13.

Thanks, I'll loose a few mpg over our old civic but I was ready to move on from that. Was my wife's choice as her first car that she ever purchased almost 11 years ago.

Nice buy!

Thanks, yeah I almost always wear short sleeve shirts so I would just remove the coat anytime we are together. This is a great feature!

Looks great. I'm really liking this new body. Enjoy!

Me too, never really cared too much about the older style Fusion. But this one I really like. The front with the grill always reminds me of the aston martin vanquish.

Thanks, my buddy bought a focus recently they are nice too! I had a 2001 focus zx3 as my first new car. I liked it a lot it was a great car too...no where near what they are today though!

Beautiful!!! Keep us update on the MPG and your thoughts after driving it some more.

Thanks, will do. I'm hoping it will be as advertised. 26 combined....I'm right at 50/50 highway/city driving so I'm expecting it to be near there. Time will tell.

Yeah, that's why I like these wheels so much. I thought of the brembos as well. An SVT Fusion would be cool to see but I think it would be too expensive for what it would be seeing as the top of the line fully loaded Fusion is pushing $37k already.

great looking car!

Thanks!

Thanks, hah yeah...always is interesting to see when companies decide to completely change the look.

I like mine. I've been getting 23 combined and the 2.0L is pretty peppy.

AWD or FWD? That's an awesome motor in your sig. looks great!

Yeah, me too. I was not actually a fan of the 2005 mustang when they first came out. Still don't like the earlier models all that much but over the past few years they have refined them and made them look much better. I think I will like the new one!

The Fusion with the EB is a really nice car. Nice interior. Nice equipment. Great power. Just a good ride around IMO. I think you're going to love it.

I have the exact car but Ruby Red...

Average MPG is 24...But I like to kick it down

Not a very good car in the snow though.....

Overall I do like it.Very comfortable for long road trips.
