I have it, and I haven't had any problems with the power. I would have to say i dont really drive crazily or try to go from 0-60 in 2 seconds or anything. My last car was a Five-Hundred AWD, which alot of people felt was underpowered, and I didnt see any problems with that one either. I'm usually just driving myself, so maybe with additional passengers some people might notice a lack of power. I'm getting right around 29 MPG right now, with about a 50/50 mileage mix of freeway and city driving.

Well, disregard my above post. As soon as i made that, the website finally decided to let me download the update. I now have it installed. The installation took about 10 minutes or so to complete. It stays on a "rebooting" screen for about a good 7-8 minutes, but eventually it'll say installation complete. Even while the rebooting screen was up, the radio was working in the background, except for maybe 5 secodns at the beginning of the reboot. I was gettign slightly concerned, but im glad it eventually finished. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you get worried like me.

Has anyone tried the update yet? I treid to download it, but it errors out every time. Just sits at 0%, then an error. I can download the sync version checker just fine. I have a 2010 with nav system. I'm guessing maybe they forgot to put the file online or something? I've been having some issues with sync pairing with my phone, so im hopeful that the 3,0 upgrade might improve that as well.

I bought the cargo net from my dealer... It's the same from all the other fusion models, according to the website, and the dealer parts computer. Only problem is that the hooks that come with it dont ft onto the screws.mounts that are on the '10 fusion. I havent been able to get it straightened out yet, so just a heads up on that. I asked the dealer, but they didnt know what do do since the numbers in their computer all matched up to being the right part. Looks like someone at ford may need to update some stuff on the accessories side . FYI, on the 2010, you dont need to cut the fabric, the bolts/mounts are in the upper corner on each side, just covered by a little plastic protector. the hooks that come with the cargo net look they were designed for a fatter bolt (which i assume the older fusions had).

I believe I saw an asterisk on the TV commercials saying the turn-by-turn, etc... would be available "summer 2009" or something like that. I'm guessing thats when the sync 3.0 software will be released. I have the built in nav unit in my car, so its not that big fo a deal to me.

Well, got this issue resolved, or figured out anyways. In case anyone else has this issue, you need tomake sure you dont have the interior instrument brightness set to max. That causes the Nav unit to go to day mode. Turning down the brightness of the intrument cluster gets the night mods on the gps to function correctly.

When I got my 2010 Fusion SEL, the dealer said I could get $3000 in rebates if financed through Chase Bank (which would be somewhere between 4.5 and 5.5%). Unfortunately, Chase wouldnt approve the loan, so went with Ford Credit at 4.9%, but still ended up getting $2k in rebates. I know some was because I was turning in my Five Hundred lease, not sure how they got the other money. Those rebates were off of the A-Plan price. All in all, not a bad deal for a brand new car. Oh, and for clarification, I had ordered the car in January, so it wasnt "technically" dealer stock when I picked it up. The window sticker didnt even have prices like the dealer stock units. Just the features I ordered, and my name.

Well, in the NAV menu, theres 3 options for it (auto, dav, night). If I select day, the background is whitish. if i select night, the background colors go dark (just like a garmin unit would). If i select auto, it just seems to use the day mode. Maybe I am making a bad assumption about what auto should do, but even the manual seems to indicate it wiill switch between day and night modes. As a quick edit, i should point out that the "auto" button for day/night is completely separate from the "audo dim" button that I you guys might be talking about as well.

It's not dimming either, but what im talking about is on the GPS, during the day, the background is usually white/grayish. During the night, the background will switch to black. It *should* do this automatically around sunset in auto mode according to the manual, but I havent had any luck getting that to work. I guess i ll have to make a trip over to the dealership monday.

I just picked up my 2010 Fusion SEL with the NAV system today. While driving it tonight, I noticed the NAV system isn't automatically switching to "night mode", even though the uato option is selected and the time is corrrect in the system. If anyone else has a new Fusion with the NAV system, I'm wondering if you have the same problem. The deal is of course closed for the weekend. It's not a huge issue, and I love everything else about the car, but having the bright screen at night is a bit annoying, and i dont want to have to go throuhg the menus every time i drive either. Thanks!
