transmission and the reverse visibility (I'm 5'-8' and can't see hardly anything)
Advice to buyer:
test drive one, tell your friends and neighbors to do the same...
Detailed review:
I bought a brand new Fusion S, decided that I didn't like the ugly grille and the lack of features. Saw a Milan Premier in the lot, perfect color/options combinations, so I traded for it.
The car has 15k on it (my Fusion has 4k), but the heated leather seats, moonroof, and rims made up for those extra 11,000 miles.
Adaptive Transmission really made me HATE the automatic after getting rid of the 5-speed manual... they tell me that the thing will eventually get used to me and will shift when I want it to. Note: the transmission has only L and D, no 2nd gear or OD lockout! I'm thinking about trading up to a 5-speed pretty soon...
Also considered:
2006 Ford Fusion
2005 Pontiac Vibe
2006 Mazda MAZDA6
