 I traded my Ford Fusion in as the mileage was just getting too high, but I am a loyal ford owner. This car looks nice or " cute" as my friends say. It is small inside and everything is very plastic. Sound system is so-so and the gas mileage is fair. I find the ' turn off" at stop to be annoying and this car does not accelerate well. However, once you do get going- it is easy to find yourself going fast. I wanted a vehicle that will handle the sudden pooling of rain on FL roads-so will see. I miss the Fusion so if you are in the market -give that a try..On the plus side, the rear door opens well with the side way door and is easier to get things out. There is room to put more stuff in the car if you take the time to reconfigure the seats and movable shelf.
