I've driven the Ford Fusion, it didn't tickle my fancy, but overall it was a good car.
Did like the dash layout (white LEDS), I can see the dash for a change. A few too many buttons for the A/C switches and all, cluttered together and you seem to take your eyes off the road for a measly switch. I'm a small to average sized driver, A pillar and B pillar impeded peripheral vision a lot. Probably my pet hate about this car. For small car, it's built for economy, not for speed. I think they built the diff too tall, the gears in the box are spaced a bit to much too. I drove the auto. It drives well, when cruising, but brakes are crap with standard brake pad setup (coming from a person who uses Bendix Ultimates..lol) I would have expected a bit better stopping performance from a new car. Boot space was good enough, happy with that. For a mid ranged car on their stocklist, the 2.5L doesn't tickle my fancy, up the ante for the V6. I drove the 4Cyl Auto. Economy was good, but at the expense of power. For a 2.5L and the powertrain match up, would have expected a little more for the 4Cyl arrangement. |

Explorer looks a bit like a Land Rover, but I like it

I seen the Ford Flex and Edge. Flex was like the new age Mini Cooper on steroids. I did like it, the Edge was more of a Territory. The flex is a people mover.
Not sure which one to choose, but the technology on these cars poop on the Territory. |
