that’s a 2010-2012. You could actually still get the Fusion with a stick up until 2014 with the 1.6 Ecoboost, but takers were few.

Is it faawn?

(fun: for ‘ya literate folks). I’ve heard good things about even the non-ST Focuses with a manual for a while. Does that translate to the Fusion?

Would you recommend it? (A manual Fusion is on the “possibility” list for when funds build up.)

So here’s the fun part, you could get the Milan with a stick, sunroof and leather seats.

My parents (avid manual transmission fans) were debating the V6 Fusion SEL or the Milan Premier I-4 with a stick that the local dealer had, only to have the Milan get swooped up by a sales guy. v6 Fusion is is , 185k miles later, they still love that car. (2010 FTR)

Manual Fusions were 4 cylinder-only from ‘06 - ‘14. The first gens had a manual available in all trim levels, the 2nd gens were available in S (base) and SE trim from ‘10 - ‘11 and S-only for ‘12. Then with the 3rd gen, they were available with a stick in SE + 1.6L EcoBoost-only from ‘13 - ‘14.
