    A great car!!

    I have driven over a million miles in my lifetime, I have driven most modern cars, the most comfortable was a Mercedes 560SEC, well the Fusion whilst not having the raw power of the Merc is as comfortable corners much better (the 560 ate it's front tyres for breakfast) I have been so impressed with the build quality, the engine's flexibilty (I have the 4 cyl with manual 5 speed transmission, the quiet ride and the fuel economy I am getting 31.4 mpg over 5,500 miles at an average speed of 45 mph. I drove a Honda Accord for a long time, it does not compare to the Ford, the fuel economy was better, but the build quality (driver's window collapsed) comfort and noise levels were disappointing. Living in the wild west of Canada, where the roads are mainly long and straight, I have not as yet had a chance to put the Fusion through any hard cornering, but the feel of the car gives me absolute confidence in achieving complete satisfaction ehen I do! All in all a great car, Ford have taken a really good car in the Focus and taken it to the next level a pat on the back for them!!

    My 2010 Ford Fusion has an annoying NEED OIL CHANGE message on my reader board on the dash. The problem is, I just got my oil changed. Anyone know how to remove that message? THANKS.

    I get the same Problem with my 2001 Alero, so what you have to do is look in your manual and it should tell you how to turn it off there. usually you have to enter a code to get it to turn off. I would take it back to wherever you got your oil changed and they should be able to show you how to turn it off. You can always call the dealership you bought it at and ask them how to turn it off too.
