I kind of miss the old school clusters that were pitch black except for the numbers and needle. Really popped out at you. Now clusters are so bright and got a million things being displayed at once. Same with ambient lights actually. I miss cruising on the highway at night with my old Tauruses and nothing but the button backlighting to light the cab. Crank the Phil Collins lol.

The fans on my Fusion are crazy loud too at idle but A/C works great.

Normally I try to act mature and provide a reasoned explanation for my thoughts... After absorbing the initial shock, I thought "maybe if the Focus Active is a decent car I'll get that" (bargaining is one of the stages of grief lol), but after seeing this today: https://www.auto123.com/en/news/no-focus-active-canadian-market/64642/ All I can say is... Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford, Fuck Ford. I've totally had it now.

I hate to be "that guy" but I really have to say this... After it was announced in Ford's Q1 earnings report today that the Mustang and Focus Active will be the only passenger cars Ford will sell in the coming years, I'm done with Ford. I've only ever owned Fords and assumed I always would. After years of driving Tauruses, I was really disillusioned when they brought out the Fusion and killed the mid sized Taurus. But then the Fusion became a respectable car, so I bought one... I still love it. Mulally hit it right on the head with One Ford and bringing the much better European models over here. Figured I'd always drive a Fusion. Guess that's not going to be the case. It's astonishing how short sighted Ford has been. At the turn of the millennium, they were raking in the money with SUVs and pick ups and totally neglected their passenger car business. Gas prices rose and they practically went bankrupt. 20 years later and they are doing the exact same thing after they brought out some really good passenger cars. They sat on their laurels and left all the passenger cars on the vine to die with half assed warm over refreshes. Therefore, I'm done. There's a new Camry. There's a new Accord. There's a refreshed Mazda6. There's a new Jetta. New Altima coming too I think. All these other companies can make it work, so why not Ford? Clearly they are a family of incompetent buffoons. Yes, it's a public company, but the Ford family has a controlling stake in it. So I'm done. Lots of better cars out there yet I remained loyal to them for some reason. No longer.

Happy 19th birthday Tauri, where ever you are

If you have all the booklets that came with the car, there should be one that outlines warranty coverage. I agree with your dealer that the bumper to bumper applies, not any separate warranty on the battery. You should join the 2gFusions forums. A lot of old members here who bought Fusions are on there. http://www.2gfusions.net/member.php?action=register&referrer=1392

Yay! I've gone from being just a Millennial to now a Centennial too! Woohoo.

Merry Christmas 2017!

Yes. I have contemplated Ubering and my Fusion would be off limits for that.

Ive got my eye on this... https://www.brantfordkia.com/used/Ford/2011-Ford-Taurus-86671a420a0e0ae83c2f6da6e1240270.htm

Wait till you try the 3.3 with 10 speed!

Brought her home a little baby brother: Also did this yesterday so they'd match:

My Vulcan had 268000kms which is around 166000 miles. Engine was fine but there was an exhaust leak and the under carriage was all rusted out.

The washer fluid hose on my '99 only lasted until around 2012. I was able to cut out the bad patch and bridge with a rubber hose.
