 We leased a 2009 Mercury Milan.I was impressed with that car.Now we own a 2011 Fusion.Ford has built quite the car.Ford made tremendous improvement over an already great car.In the differences from the 2009 to the 2011, you can tell that Ford is not standing pat.They are improving the car each year. The interior is even more quiet than the 2009.The new 6 speed transmission offers smother shifting.The car handles great.If you are one of many that said you would buy an American car if they were more reliable, better quality or equivalent to an Accord or Camry.Stop waiting.Ford has it figured out.
