Fun with the Fusion rental car

Well, we got a 2008 Ford Fusion rental car (someone hit my wife's car) and it was the SE V6 FWD 6-speed automatic.

Man this thing will get down and boogie with that transmission.


No sound, bad quality. It will pull passed 80 to 105+ with ease, and keep on going, we just didn't push it to the limits.

Then, my mom, who was rear ended around the same time, came home yesterday with a 2010 Ford Fusion SE 4 cyl auto. It LOOKS better, updated headlights and front grill, little extra styling in the rear... but I'd rather have the power of this V6/6-speed auto.

Rental cars can be fun, this is the best one I've ever got to have.

BTW, the one we have has nearly worn tires, but it handles exceptionally well. You don't expect to look back and see 2 more doors and a bench seat for 3. Feels very sporty, honestly. Yes, I've had Firebirds, Stealths/3000GTs (twin turbos and NA's), so I know it's NOT a sports car, but it handles like one.
