2006 Ford Fusion I4 SEL

Pros

Excellent Styling, Fuel Economy, a Manual Trans and Options!!!!!!

Cons

Will let you know

Just ordered the I-4 SEL. Shopped every midsized car and Ford was the only one offering options on their car for the driver who prefers to shift their own gears. Try to get an Accord, Camry, etc with a manual trans and any kind of options. You can't. The marketing idiots will only allow you cloth seats and steel wheels/plastic hubcaps is you prefer a maual trans. VW will only sell you package one or package two on their new Passat, which forces you into options you don't want, and can't use. With my Fusion I got 17 inch Aluminum wheels, heated leather seats. heated mirrors, 4 wheel disc brakes, ABS, fog lamps, premium sound and side curtain air bags for under $22,000. Taller drivers should look at the Fusion since the sunroof is an option. Skip the sunroof and keep the extra 2 inches of front and rear headroom. Way to go Ford, lets hear it for Freedom of Choice!
