New car

Well be got rid of our 03 Hyundai Sonata for an 06 Ford Fusion. The Fusion is not new but has 20K on it.
It's an SEL V6 with leather and the works. We weren't really looking for one that was fully loaded but the price was very good. The car is very solid and handles very nice, apparently similar to the Accord, Altima and Camry.
The 3.0 litre is nice and peppy and the 6 speed auto is quite smooth shifting. Fuel mileage is a decent mid 30's. Overall it seems to be very well built and we are very satisfied with the car.

The Hyundai was a good car with zero problems but it was time to upgrade.

The most important thing is that we're back to all Fords in the driveway!!!


Cheers
Collin

Nice job on the new car!! You will have to keep us posted on what she's like. We have been tossing the idea of upgrading the focus in the not so near future and the fusion is on the list.

Good show, this part is really awesome....''The most important thing is that we're back to all Fords in the driveway!!!''
That sounds like my place, from the little old Ford 800 tractor to the Louisville gravel trucks.

C----? Well there`s a 1947 two ton way out back in the bush/trees, thanks for reminding me. I think it`s sunk into the ground by now as the grain box was left full of cement power 25 years ago, should be cured nicely by now. On it`s way out this spring now that it`s been brought to my attention.
Other than that I don`t have any of that kind here, certainly not a c---- in a shed. There is a grey & red 57 F350 in the barn that`s visiable but no c----, what color are you thinking of preppy?
