I purchased a new 2008 Ford Fusion, and love it. I downsized from an SUV, and was skeptical on whether or not I could get use to a car. It is very easy to handle, on interstates and curvy rural roads. The gas mileage is a whole lot better than my SUV. I really like the SYNC system, that allows you hand free operation of your cell phone. I have received a lot of compliments over my new purchase, and I have recommended the car to several of my friends.
