Went from a 2010 Acura TL to a 2013 Ford Fusion. I had three TL's, 2004, 2008 and 2010. Love the power.

 

What I don't miss.

 

Leather

High test gas

Since it was the base model, no technical stuff

Car payments

road noise

and black cars

 

What I like about my fusion:

 

Paid cash (no car payments) Got is used with only 11,200 miles.

Got the SE with tech package. Mytouch Sync. Way cool.

Quite and smooth riding

Awesome handling

No leather

All the room

I got the 2.5 Duratech engine ( Not much power) but I can live with it

Love 87 octane

No fuel cap whicj is nice

Love the car and its silver not black!

Fiesta sedans, huh? Why'd you spring for the sedans instead of a hatch?

The hatch looked chopped off at the rear end. Also, at the time we looked at Fiesta (2010) my wife was still alive and she preferred the sedan. We bought an '11 SE s a result. We both like the looks and the advertised economy.

I gave up my 2004 Volvo S60 with 104k miles on it and got a 2016 SE 2.5l.

 

Two features I miss from the Volvo are the memory seat settings configured to the key fob and you wouldn't have to turn the seat heaters on every time you restarted the car (they recalled the setting from the previous time the car was on). (I don't understand the point in having seat heaters in the Fusion with remote start if you have to physically turn them on every time you start the engine.)

 

Other than that...Love the Fusion, especially the SYNC.

In my 2013 titanium the when I do remote start it both turns on the seat warmers and also the defrosters. It is something you probably missed because you have to enable them in your remote start options. Also my titanium also has the stored seat positions, so the only thing I can say there is that you didn't get the trim level that would match the S60.

Went from 2013 Edge which was the most luxurious vehicle I have ever leased so I miss the room and the living room furniture interior.

 

The Fusion is more fun to drive and I like to detail and the Fusion has more contour and character so I'm looking forward to the summer of wax.

 

The interior seems better thought out in the Fusion and in my case the design is very chic.i apriciate most of these things are aesthetic still makes the day a little brighter though.

I need to fly you down here. I would love to do the kind of detailing that you wrote in another post, but I am lacking that kind of time commitment to follow though on that kind of care.

Traded in the best car I've ever owned, a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Had 138k miles on it and ran great. Traded it for a 2011 Ford Fusion Sport. I hope it will be as reliable or more than my Crown Vic (which I have never had a problem with the 3 years I've owned it, just can't drive it in snow). Just got it tonight and I already miss the Vic, but I love the Fusion so far as well. The gas mileage is much better too. I'll miss that V8 power though lol.

2015 Mazda 6. Reason: Mazda was too small for my larger stature. And right after buying the car brand new in 2014, the dealer in my city shut down. No warranty service locally. Had to drive 90 miles east or west for warranty service. Intolerable!

 

The Fusion is much more luxurious and lots more room. Having that preset for the driver's seat is awesome! And Ford dealers are everywhere in case we need warranty service.

I traded in an 09 Milan Premier AWD Tuxedo Black with 72K miles. Probably the best car I've ever owned and I've been buying new Ford products since 1966! My only "lemon" was the 1st year 86 Mercury Sable with all kinds of transmission problems. If my new Fusion is half as good as my Milan was, it will also be a great car! We love this car!

I still have nightmares about my (new)1986 Sable. ;)

Even though that car returned to the dealer For repeated transmission problems, I still hung tight with Ford products! I turned it in for an 87 T Bird Turbo Coupe. That was a fun car but not a very good family car so I turned it in for a Continental Signature which served me very well.

1994 Mazda MX6 LS. I love that car. It cornered like the tires were glued to the pavement, it accelerated hard to redline, got decent mileage and attracted all sorts of attention, though it was hard to find in a parking lot (it was so low it disappeared amongst all the tall cars and SUVs.) But with almost 275,000 KM on the clock the body was shot, so bad that it couldn't go on a hoist any more, and with more than two people in it it was at best cramped and at worst torturous. My 2007 AWD has similar performance, FIVE seats (not 2+2) and doesn't fishtail at speed on loose gravel, so it was a good choice.

 

Still...
