Rob1960 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hello to everyone, I bought a 2010 SE 2.5/stick a month ago & it's a great car!! While it won't win any races the new 2.5 runs nice & the 6spd really works well with the engines power band. I broke it in on a 2000 mile road trip from Ohio through Virginia & down to Myrtle Beach & back. It's a very comfortable road car!! The stick cars are rated at 29mpg hi-way vs 31mpg for the autos but mine was getting around 32 actual mpg. The sync system is great too!! I'm a 17 yr Ford employee so for me there was no choice but a Ford & it's nice to see all the positive reactions to Ford's vehicles!!,plus we haven't taken any gov. hand-outs{& I hope we don't have to!!} My dads Fusion sold me on the cars,he had a loaded Mercury Mystique{mistake}that we absolutely hated,the V6 in it ran great but the rest of the car sucked, he finally gave up & traded it in for a 2007 Fusion v6. The difference in the cars was incredible!! The Fusion rode,drove & felt like a quality vehicle,not a noisy rough riding POS like the Mystique!!! I ordered a bunch of "stuff" for the car,a red/black carbon-fiber interior trim kit,rear spoiler, a Steeda rear sway bar kit plus I upgraded the black plastic fog lamp bezels with the chrome ones from the SEL model. When I get everything put on I'll post some pics 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get everything put on I'll post some pics You didn't say whether it is a 6 sp auto or manual but if it is an auto when in high gear going down the road and you give it some gas does it have to downshift each time no matter what the speed is. I was told that if you have a 6 sp. auto on any car this will happen. I don't see why if I just want to speed up a couple mph it has to first downshift in order to do this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
