Or, at least, first pictures that I took myself and didn't just steal from the dealer's website.

As you can see I took a real wide variety of angles. Just admiring that Bordeaux Reserve paint.

The last guy who got a Fusion couldn't fulfill my request, so I'll ask you.

Nice, love that color. SE with the Luxury Package?

I've had my Tuxedo Black SE 6-speed for about a month now, and I freaking love this car.

that last one is the best angle

Yeah, its an SE upgraded with the 2.0T and Equip 205B which I believe is the luxury package. Bought it yesterday...its fantastic.

I am so glad I didn't go for another 'appliance white' car.

Hope you see better MPGs than my mom's does.

This is on a car driven 70% highway.

So far its averaging 25 MPG-ish. I am enjoying stepping on it though because its so much faster than my Grand Marquis. I would hazard that your mom's car isn't fully 'broken in' yet, MPG tends to improve as cars age (to a certain point).

I think the salesguy said around 5,000 miles we'll start to see improvement. But still, damn son 23 highway?

You said 23 at 70% highway which is more of a combined figure, and its winter, and with no real context of how your mom drives. Mine has 40k on it so its definitely full broken in. When I set the cruise to 70 with the defroster and seat heaters on it pegged the instant MPG over 30 until I hit hilly terrain, which is more than cool with me.

My mom drives like an old woman, so it's definitely not her driving style causing it. Winter blend is part of it I'm sure.

Ugh, you have seat heaters you lucky bastard. Memory seat too?

Yeah its got power, 3-person memory, heated front leather seats. I thought your Mom's was a higher trim than mine? I have an SE with the 2.0T Ecoboost and 205B Equip Luxury package

Ours is an SE 2.0T with the SE Appearance Package (mandatory with the 2.0T I think, unless you get the Luxury Package), MyFordTouch, Rear Backup Sensors, Sunroof and Garage Opener. I think that's about it. It's pretty basic honestly compared to what all is offered on the Fusion.

Mine doesn't have MyFordTouch, the backup sensors, sunroof, or the garage opener. I wish it had a sunroof.

I really thought MyFordTouch was mandatory with the Luxury Package. Maybe not in 2013.

This is the first car at the house with a sunroof and it's the best.

I'm glad it isn't, I like my gauge cluster better, and SYNC is confusing me enough. My other choice was a 2010 Taurus Limited and the sunroof was really pulling me towards it. The Taurus' size, lack of visibility, and thousand extra pounds of chrome turned me away from it.

Sync is actually super easy to use one you play with it for a bit. Even my mom who struggles with her smartphone understands it. It's a touch slow at times, but overall pretty good.

The Taurus is a pig. A shiny pig.

Yeah it took me about 25 minutes to figure out how to get Bluetooth Audio streaming but now I've pretty much conquered that. It's a learning process.

The Taurus actually drove really well, and sounds good. Strong acceleration. Just found the Fusion much more attractive and easier to see out of.

Oh see, on MyFordTouch, you just go into the yellow phone tab thing on the screen and go to settings and connect a device. 5 minutes at most.

Now uploading a photo to make the homescreen background? Oh fuck, landing a plane would've been easier.

What caused you to look at Fords?

Well, I was trying to buy a 328i from the Ford dealer I got my Fusion from. After 3 hours they came to the conclusion that with my good-but-weak (recently established) credit, I'd only get approved on a CPO Ford from them. I'd heard a similar story from a different brand so asked what they had that I'd probably get approved for. 2014 Focus, 2013 Fusion, 2010 Taurus. You see which one I chose.
