It doesn't look good for Ford cars: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2018/04/26/ford-has-been-synonymous-with-cars-for-more-than-a-century-thats-about-to-change/

Hard to believe that there's not way to synch the MyFord Touch calendar with your Google or iOS calendar using some sort of an app. I haven't figured out how to do it if there is a way.

The subject and the picture show that these are WeatherTechs.

Ambient or not, the darned cupholders should be lit! Period. I got a lesson in "Find it. Just try to find it. We dare you." early this morning.

Isn't that circle the set mark for headlight alignment testing machines? My 2007 Honda had them. My Fusion has them.

I'm 5'11" and there's plenty of seat track ahead of me and behind me. I have the telescoping wheel all of the way out. I make great use of the dead pedal on the left. Makes a big difference.

I have never driven a car with an automatic that I was not convinced would be a better car with a manual. I have never not wanted a manual on any car I have rented. (I rent a lot.) I've never driven a shiftable automatic that comes close to a stick. I have never wanted an automatic. I have never owned an automatic. I've never regretted the slight hit I take when I sell a stick. Probably save it in reliability. I smile and secretly thank Ford for making a manual available on the Fusion and making it available in trim options that are anything but stripper. The car is fun to drive, the clutch is right, and sixth gear is for cruising. The car is very quiet, but not so quiet as to not hear the shift points. You can drive it easy or you can make it vroom, vroom. Go for it!

I have a replacement coming. Well, it came in, the dealer made an appointment to replace it, and the dealer had already sent it back. They figured it out after I had dropped the car off and got a rental. This whole deal has been like Keystone Cops. Anyway, I have the moonroof (with touch controls). Build date 10/22/12. The first time I drove the car, as I backed out of the parking place, I noticed wrinkles in the headliner. The more you look, the more you see. I'm a little hesitant about getting it replaced. Seems like quite a major job. I guess they drop the seats and slide the thing in through the trunk? I wonder how long I can wait and still get it done!?

Double thanks! It sure makes me confident enough to install one by summer. Looks a lot better than I expected. Very subdued. I am right in there with you of the guy who would figure out a way to do $10,000 of damage to a $2,000 bike, a $500 rack, a garage door, and a brand new car! Do you mind sharing the Curt Hitch pricing? I have played around with the AutoAnything phone game for discounts when their coupons won't work on the web site. Did you order a mount with it? They are showing three options with the lowest price (by $1.60) for ordering the standard ball mount rather than the hitch alone. Thanks again.

I really like the Swagman I have. It just seems to make more sense to me to firmly wheel mount the bike rather than frame hang it where there is movement. About the Swagman 'branded' one I have.... I bought it from Proline several years ago for $150 delivered. I guess that they don't have it any longer. This appears to be the same rack I bought and delivered it's $20 cheaper... http://www.a1-autoracks.com/pro-series-q-slot-2-bike-hitch-carrier-63134.html

Bike rack guy here, too. Have a Swagmann rack that carries the wheels in steel trays rather than suspending the bikes like most. Anyone else notice how much reach there needs to be to get into the receiver? This is the Curt with the standard ball mount from Autoanything. Anyway, thanks to ATC Buckeye for being the guinea pig!

Mine does, too. Except.... I have not figured a way for MFT to read texts to me off of the iPhone 5. There is a "not supported" message. (Edit: Thanks to the above poster in another thread and some digging in the Sync Owner site, I found a procedure that should work, but this is straying far off topic for this thread.)

I think that they all require you to remove and discontinue using some of the Fusion's undercarriage "streamlining". I haven't done it because of that reason and the weather. But, spring begins today.... You can probably get these for quite a bit of a lower price if you carefully play the AutoAnything pricing game: http://www.autoanything.com/towing/61A3372A0A0.aspx http://www.autoanything.com/towing/61A3389A0A0.aspx http://www.autoanything.com/towing/73A3874A0A0.aspx

Bump for a follow-up? Any update or solution to getting the green Sync turn-by-turn in the right cluster?

Love my manual! This best trip, I was not hypermiling, not dogging it, but driving 65-75 mph on a non-Interstate 4-lane (US 460) and some Virginia back country twisties. It includes two short stops with the engine idling. Ambient temp about 30F. Hand calculated mileage is very close to the trip computer. Overall hand calculated average is 33.27 mpg.
