Hi Fusion-fans. I'm a guy from Denmark who will soon be moving to New England, where I am going to work for the next 2 years. I will of course be needing a car and a midsize sedan will be the perfect choice for me. When living in the U.S. I do want to have a domestic brand, and I must say that the Fusion really is in a class of its own - just look at that design :-) I am planning to buy a 2013 SE model, and I have until now thought that the 1.6 ecoboost would be the perfect choice (Nice low-end torque + it normally comes with some good extras like fog lamps, leather steering wheel, heated seats etc.) What puzzles me a bit is the fact that this engine uses a timing belt - in stead of a chain on the 2.5 as well as 2.0. Is it correct that the change interval is as much as 150,000 miles....or X years? Last time I had a car with an engine using timing belt, the change interval was only something like 50,000 miles or 4 years, but in case 150K is correct with the Fusion, it should of course not be worrying at all :-) Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback on this, and look forward to be driving on the U.S. roads soon in a gorgeous Fusion.
