Driven

Thanks. I think it was the right decision too. OK, great. Thank you. I think it is going to take me a little while to figure out where everything is. You are right about it taking a while to get used to the feel of the new car. I though it had front sensors, but they didn't go off when I was getting close to the wall in fornt of me, so i just stopped and got out. It turns out that I was still a few feet away, and it just appeared to be closer from my perspective. The angle of view in my new car is different than it was in the 2011, so I think it is just going to take time to adjust, Impressive. I think I will be pretty nrevous when I try it for the first time, but this has made me feel a little better about it. Thanks

Well, I ended up going with the Titanium. The extra features far outweighed the BLIS. I will just have to get used to those weird little mirrors. The comment about the seats being more comfortable was correct. I probably would have been fine with the SE's seats but, after sitting in the Titanium, there was a noticible difference. The upgraded sound system not only sounds better, but it also makes the center console are look better. I had no idea that the intelligent access system worked like that. You never have to take your key out other than to use the remote start. That is going to be very nice. Is the ambient lighting just the one color? I couldn't find a setting or switch to change it. I ask because my SEL had 6 or so different colors. It also has the active park assist. I didn't ask for it and they never mentioned it, but I noticed it on the list of options when I got home. Has anyone been using it? How well does it work? I'm not sure if I could bring myself to trust it.

Wow! A lot of great answers. Thank you. I really appreciate all the feedback. Last night I told the sales guy that I was considering the Titanium, but to see what was available in some of the other colors. I got a call today, and they believe that they have found a black SE with everything I wanted (including the Drivers assist package with BLIS). So now color will not be a deciding factor. It's going to come down to SE with BLIS, or Titanium without. I'll be heading out tonight to check them both out.

Do I really need the driver assist package. I currently have a 2011 Fusion, and it has the blind spot indicator lights on the sideview mirrors, which is kind of handy, but I could probably do without them. My lease is up, so I need to move to the 2013. I was originally going to get a fully loaded (driver assist and luxury pkgs, 2.0L) SE in my prefered color (black). By the time we got all the details worked out, the car we were talking about was no longer available. Today, he told me that he can look for those options in another color (but no guarantees), or I could get a Titanium without Navigation, or the driver assist package. I had already told them that I didn't really care about navigation, but I do like the blind spot indicators, especially since the 2013 Fusions seem to have bigger blind spots. I don't really care too much about the rest of the driver assist package, so I would really like to get the opinion of those that already own one on how bad the blind spots actually are and if the indicators are more necessary. I'm also not to sure about the big differences between the Luxury SE and the Titanium. I would have asked to have a remote start installed on the SE, so having it standard on the Titanium is nice, and it might have a better sound system? (not sure about that), but I'm not sure what else it offers over the SE with the packages. I have asked multiple salesmen and they don't seem to be very sure themselves. I am really partial to the black and I'm not sure what other color I would like. I have thought about the Bordeux, or the silver, but I'm not sure if I would end up having color regret later. Because of my lease my options are more limited. Right now my options are to give up the the driver assist package a nd get the Titanium in the color I want, or get the SE in another color with the driver assist package. Any and all insights will be appreciated.
