  1. We now know that Obama, Clinton, and Biden blatantly lied to the American people and to the whole world in regards to the tragic murder of the Ambassador and his staff!
  2. Why would anyone vote for a guy that has never done or accomplished anything in his entire life (Obama)!!! I don't understand!! I am certain that you could find a better worker down at a local soup kitchen! Do you care about your country?
  3. Personally having seen the Fusion in person, you wont even have to sit in the car to want it! One look, and you will buy it! It really is beautiful...expecially with Titanium with the 19s. Fantastic and clean interior too!
  4. The only thing keeping GM alive at all are certain international markets, because locally in NA it is dying! Nothing within GM has changed, and so they continue to do business the same way as they did when they went bankrupt. GM and Chrysler should have been allowed to die in order for the NA free enterprise spirit to create something newer and better!!

    Kona Blue

    Does anyone know if Ford has a supply of the Kona Blue paint? Ottawa was recently hit with a hail storm and my beautiful 2012 Focus Ti was destroyed! I am thinking to have the insurance company replace at lease the hood and roof panels, but the dealer would have to prime, paint, and clearcoat them. I understand that it is impossible for the dealer to match the factory paint, and I would prefer the dealer to order the paint from Ford if possible. Any suggestions?
  6. I saw the Fusion at the Drive Ford event this weekend in Ottawa, Ontario. The car is just AWESOME!!! It is refined and slick! I would put in between an Aston Martin and an Audi A5; especially with the 19" wheels. It is almost tempting to swap my 2012 Focus Ti for it.
  7. I was wondering what what happening with Fiat and Chrysler when I saw the new stating that Fiat is looking to make a car with Mazda (new Miata). Things must not be going well at all!
  8. I never really experienced any problems with my Ti, and was very satisfied before. Now that I have had the Steering TSB and the 12B37 FSA applied I can barely feel the super smooth shifting! If anyone has not had the updates applied, go get them done!
  9. I have the 2012 Focus, but the gf has the Fiesta, and it still impresses me everytime I drive it. It is really fun to drive, and easily one of the best cars available today!!!
  10. It would be a real shame for the already very stylish 2013 Fusion to look even more upscale, like the Aston, or Audi!!!!
  11. I finally saw the Focus ST at the Ottawa Auto Show yesterday! I think that they should have had it accessible to the public, but it was nice to see anyway. I think that I want to get the spoiler for my Focus, but they are expensive through the Ford dealers and only come primed. Has anyone made the change? I could not believe that they had the regular headlamps on the ST, because I was sure that they were going to upgrade this with the Euro headlamps (which I also still want). Carl, maybe I should call your brother to see if he can get me a reasonable deal.
  12. I am not certain whether anyone else has brought up the topic of the Quick Clear windshield recently, but seeing as how the winter has finally arrived it would be wonderful to have some more of the great European features that we do not receive in our new Fords. Euro Features I would like to see and have. 1. LED / HID Headlamps 2. Quick Clear Windshield 3. Low Speed Safety System Thanks to Ford for my AWESOME 2012 Ford Focus!!
  13. Count me in for buying the Euro Titanium X Xenon/LED headlamps and rear bumper with the nice exhaust!!!! Ford please offer these parts and install them for me now!!!
  14. I just receive my iTune gift card today in the mail. Its a nice little gift from Ford Credit. Thank you!
  15. No problems!!! Its not an automatic transmission, its an automatic manual transmission! I really enjoy the 'S' mode for the long gears and the downshifting!
  16. The transmission and MFT both work Great!!! I have had no problems at all, and I really enjoy the 'S' mode for the spirited shifting!!
  17. Can you provide us with an update over the weekend with how the car performs with the new K&N filter please. Am interested.
  18. The people at Cars.com are completely clueless!!! If you go on to the Family sedan review they rate the Fusion #8 out of 8. I really do not feel that their is a better car on the road with the quality and value of the Ford Focus, until you get to the Audi A3 or Lexus IS.
  19. GM is dead without their European operations, but that is alright because we could see a company like Magna create a good car company.
  20. Check the following. I have no idea of the quality of the cover. http://www.fordaccessoriesstore.com/GfaWeb/home.do
  21. Based on what my mechanic was telling me, I would not recommend following the 10,000km/mi oil changes unless you are running premium fuel. Cleaner fuel keeps the oil cleaner longer, and this is why the luxury cars all run premium just like in Europe. Congrats on your first new car!!! This is mine as well. I am able to do all of my own detailing, but have never used a buffing machine so took my baby to the best detailer in town to be polished and sealed.
  22. I was talking with my mechanic the other day and he informed me that the oil filter should catch any little bits, but that it was good and safe to switch to full synthetic at around 2000km or so.
  23. So many choices. Take a look, and the forums are very informative as well. http://www.autogeek.net/ http://www.autogeekonline.net/ * Because you experience winter conditions, you might want to use a sealant instead of a wax. It will last longer!
  24. You can buy it at your Ford dealer parts counter. I believe that it also helps eliminate some engine noise.
  25. Very interesting. I might order myself one too, but have to check to see if they ship to Canada.
