This beats a Transit Connect by a looooong shot.

I’m in love with it already. The seats are comfy, it’s roomy as all hell, rides incredibly well, and the 3.5 EcoBoost will literally throw you into the back of your seat. It’s a 5,000+ pound SUV, yet accelerates like a sports car from not too long ago!

If the dealer just wants to keep the Fusion and we keep this, that’s a-okay. Because trading a $60,000 Expedition Limited in exchange for a $30,000 Fusion SE totally makes sense.

Our neighbor has a beautiful black 2016 Fusion SE. Basically exactly how I would have configured ours. Every time I look at her car, my heart aches at how gorgeous it is and how I wish we could have gotten one of those instead of the Camry.

Then I remember your family and my brain reminds me that I made the right choice.

When I was scheduling the appointment on the computer it asks you to list what issues you were having. I just kept typing and typing and typing and my mom just kept listing things offf. I’ve worked on 15 year old Pontiacs at my dealer with less issues.

So is Ford shit again? One of my coworkers bought a new ‘16 Explorer last year (or maybe late ‘15), and it’s been at the dealer a few times for unscheduled service already.

I still haven’t passed total judgement on that because ours never goes in for anything major. Mostly stupid trim stuff and other little things.

Ford seems to be trim and stuff whilst Chrysler is electronics. I don’t know many people buying GM so I can’t speak for their usual problems.

Read about too many issues, particularly transmission ones. Camry was a better choice from a reliability and cost of ownership perspective.

Some National Locations have them in the executive aisle when I rent. I choose this everytime.
